penguin42state the nature of the help required13:43
sh1ngoHello, i'm trying to install ubuntu 13.10 with full encryption (+LVM) on my laptop. I live in Belgium and my keyboard is Azerty (be-latin1 I suppose). i give in my passphrase (contains a "!"), but on boot it says i entered a wrong passphrase. I googled the issue and I found it's a bug (Ubuntu 11.04...) which only accepts US keyboard layout on startup (which is a critical bug if u ask me), can't find a solution. Is there a fix to13:47
penguin42oh that is a bit nasty13:48
sh1ngo:(13:48
sh1ngoon windows with truecrypt, it always worked13:48
sh1ngosame passphrase13:49
penguin42sh1ngo: When you log in, do you get the right keyboard layout on the text console?13:49
sh1ngoyes, I select "dutch" language and it auto-detects my keyboard layout (belgian)13:49
sh1ngoof do you mean tty1 ?13:49
sh1ngoor*13:49
penguin42yeh I mean tty113:50
sh1ngosec13:50
penguin42if you type on tty1 is the keyboard layout correct?13:50
sh1ngoi'm on Live CD now, and tty is qwerty13:50
sh1ngogui is azerty13:51
penguin42sh1ngo: OK, but do you think you can type your passphrase in so it will let you login for real?13:51
sh1ngoi googled qwerty layout and tried to enter it accordingly but it failed, so i don't know13:52
sh1ngobut the problem is the "!"13:52
penguin42I'm wondering if you're seeing bug 1235104 - although that's filed against mint13:52

ubot2Launchpad bug 1047384 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "System Encryption Password set before setting keyboard locale" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104738413:53
penguin42sh1ngo: Try shift-113:53
sh1ngothat's what I did at boot... here in tty Live it works, but not after install :S13:54
penguin42sh1ngo: Actually, reading that bug, the problem is the other way around13:54
sh1ngoisn't there a way to just set keyboard layout to be-latin1 in tty so installer accepts it?13:54
penguin42sh1ngo: It suggests that the passphrase entry used qwerty but perhaps the boot process used it correctly13:54
penguin42sh1ngo: if your text console is in qwerty at the moment, then I'd try typing your passphrase like you think you did and see what comes out on the terminal; then try entering what it says13:56
sh1ngomaybe i should just try and  type my passphrase "qwerty-style" in installer so i can type it in azerty at boot :p but tats not rly a  real solution13:56
sh1ngoye probably13:56
sh1ngobut still, it should  be fixed tbh :(13:56
penguin42yeh, I agree13:57
penguin42sh1ngo: Reading that bug it turns out to be non-trivial for the installer to fix because it means they have to change the order around13:58
sh1ngowhy don't they do it? ^^13:58
penguin42sh1ngo: The other thing is that you can change your luks passphrase post install, so maybe use a simple passphrase during install and then change it later13:58
sh1ngoi'm just going to install now, typing the passphrase "qwerty-style", should work, thanks for your time ! it's a painful bug :/13:59
sh1ngocya !14:00
penguin42yeh agreed14:00
penguin42that's a depressingly bad, understood bug to be left so broken for so long14:02

hjdCould someone please mark bug 1245143 as Triaged/High? (It's an editor, so opening files is a rather essential feature).16:42
ubot2Launchpad bug 1245143 in python-defaults (Ubuntu) "Idle does not open .py files" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/124514316:42

penguin42hjd: Why is that against python-defaults ?16:46
hjdpenguin42: I wondered about that too, but when I checked the overview page (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults) it looks like it offers the idle binary. So I assume that is actually correct.16:49
penguin42ah yeh you're right16:50

hjdpenguin42: Thank you :)16:57
