I forgot to tell: the output of locale looks fine... Everything is
"de_DE.UTF-8" except LANGUAGE and LC_ALL. They are empty.

If you watched the video you may have noticed, that  the login-screen
shows up, which shouldn't happen... This only occurs on my notebook, not
on my pc. Maybe a hint that the live-USB doesn't like the hardware of my
notebook anyway.

Title:
  No "Umlaute" in non-graphical tty when using live-CD of kubuntu 15.04

Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Release: Kubuntu 15.04 amd64
  What I expected to happen: correct handling of ö, ä, ü, etc.
  What happened instead: Ã¤ Ã¶ Ã¼

  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:

  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!
