I am attempting to automate an install of the Ubuntu 12.10 LiveCD (on a USB). The Installer will do everything except automatically pick a keyboard layout. Below is the portion of my preseed3.cfg that should select the language and keyboard layout. Ubiquity will correctly install everything, It just requires that I choose a keyboard layout before it will proceed. Is English (US) the correct argument (I have also tried USA, en, and English) or is there another preseed option which selects the layout.
Code:
ubiquity languagechooser/language-name select English
ubiquity countrychooser/shortlist select US
ubiquity time/zone select America/Los_Angeles
ubiquity debian-installer/locale select en_US.UTF-8
ubiquity localechooser/supported-locales multiselect en_US.UTF-8
ubiquity console-setup/ask_detect boolean false
ubiquity console-setup/layoutcode string us
ubiquity console-setup/modelcode string SKIP
ubiquity keyboard-configuration/variant select English (US)
ubiquity keyboard-configuration/layout select English (US)
ubiquity keyboard-configuration/model select Generic 105-key (Intl) PC
ubiquity console-keymaps-at/keymap select us
ubiquity keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us
console-setup console-setup/layoutcode string us
console-setup console-setup/layout select U.S. English
console-setup console-setup/variantcode select U.S. English
Here is the portion of my menu which launches the installer and loads preseed3.cfg into the initrd. My understanding is that I may need an argument which specifies the layout before ubiquity actually launches. I do not know which argument to use if one is needed.
Code:
label unattended menu label ^Unattended Installation kernel /casper/vmlinuz append cdrom-detect/try-usb=true file=/cdrom/preseed/preseed3.seed boot=casper automatic-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash noprompt ---
If anyone also knows a location where I can find all the arguments which can be used in the preseed, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/instal...le-preseed.txt does not contain them all I might be able to solve this problem.
