edit (adding more info):
the new installation process of ubuntu is not new under Mantic Minotaur. It had already started from Lunar Lobster where it had some (serious) issues that in the process were getting better and better. Now that a new version is under way, I fired it up and I noticed the following:
1) the installation doesn't hung and the display of the first image of the installation process has improved a lot, time-wise
2) it is still slow overall though, without showing any progress
3) there is no meaning of choosing a non-english keyboard, since installation cannot be completed this way
the last one is directly related to this bug report: during installation one has the option to choose one's keyboard. I can do so by typing only a couple of characters and greek keyboard is readily recognized. I follow the slideshow with the available options until the credentials of the new installation are required. Typing any name as my name, using different keyboards chosen at the beginning of the installation (either greek or english), that process is working fine. The problem arises when the computer name and user name is required: it doesn't pick up non-english characters. Maybe in general non-latin ones.
In old ubuntu versions (e.g. 10.10) the user has the ability to switch keyboards by tapping Alt+Shift during the installation process. This is not the case now. I tried also Super+space to no avail. |
