Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-kickstart

It is not possible to select keyboard layout. Cause of that, kickstart dies when 'Save file' is clicked:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/kickstartGui.py", line 296, in on_activate_save_options
    list = self.kickstartData.getAll()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/kickstartData.py", line 395, in getAll
    file.append("keyboard " + self.getKeyboard())
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects

Looks like this was broken by adding translation support to console-setup.

/usr/share/console-setup/kbdnames-maker doesn't output anything for me, I guess it only works on systems which have been installed in a particular way?

Accepted system-config-kickstart into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

  * The output of /usr/share/console-setup/kbdnames-maker changed with
    internationalisation support in console-setup. Deal with this
