[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1451044@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Release: Kubuntu 15.04 amd64
What I expected to happen: correct handling of ö, ä, ü, etc.
What happened instead: ä ö ü

It's not a big issue for me when using the live-CD, but unfortunately
this bug remains after the installation... which is bad.

To reproduce, you need a usb-stick, this iso-file:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/vivid/release/kubuntu-15.04
-desktop-amd64.iso

and a german keyboard.

Create the USB-drive, boot from it, select "Deutsch" as a language, then
"Kubuntu ausprobieren" (try Kubuntu). when the Desktop displays, change
the runlevel, login:kubuntu, password:<enter> and now you can try typing
ö ä ü... You will recognize that only some strange letters will appear
like the ones we know from "utf8<->isoSomething"-issues...

I checked the SHA256 sum of my ISO, it's fine. I created the USB-Stick
one time with mkusb, and one time with the SUSE image writer... The bug
occured on both tries... I tried on 2 different computers, the results
were the same.

What I didn't check: other ubuntu derivates; using dvd instead of usb-
drive.


I hope this is not a duplicate, I only found this one in my research:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1182784

maybe they are related somehow, but I don't use a swiss keyboard.

I created this nice video (1:20min) to demonstrate...

Please tell me if I have to provide more information. Thanks!
