[Bug 1451044] Re: No "Umlaute" in non-graphical tty when using live-CD of kubuntu 15.04

 

Okay, I prepared another USB with an ISO of the Kubuntu CI project
(https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ci). It's working fine on both
computers. It seems to me that the "weekly stable" of the 15.04 release
is more stable than the actual 15.04 release (no empty kwallet
integration and stuff like that...) However, thank you for your time
anyway. You can close this if no one can reproduce.

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: 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:

  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!
