I have forgotten to say that the keyboard is a wireless keyboard,
probably this can be important. I have installed Debian on three PC in
these days and only on the wireless keyboard I have had that problem
during the installation process.
I was wondering if it could be something like that. Sounds to me as if the
communication with the keyboard is unreliable resulting in random changes
in caps state. That would also fit with the capslock problem and could
explain the password problem.
Yes, you are right, the password problem on that PC can be also for that.
Probably the installer do not handle very well wireless keyboard.
Anyway if I press CapsLock and press the 'è' key I get 'È' in my main
system (Debian Squeeze). If I press the Shift-è I get 'é'.
OK, that's probably a difference between the Italian keymap definition in
console-data and the one in X then. Unrelated to the installer.
Yes, I never noted these differences
I'm still not sure it's a bug though as what you're getting now sounds very
inconsistent. If I understand correctly you now get this:
US key IT key IT w/ capslock
no shift [ è È
with shift { é é
not exactly
US key IT key IT w/ capslock
no shift [ è È
with shift { é É
If it was consistent, you should be getting É with capslock on and shift.
yes
The keymap can be changed to generate capital accented characters, but that
would have to be done by filing a bug report against the package that
contains the X.Org keyboard definitions, and I would strongly suggest
discussing it first on the debian-l10n-italian mailing list.
OK
2) Selezionare la disposizione della tastiera (Choose keyboard layout)
-> Non configurare la tastiera e mantenere quella del kernel (do not
configure, use kernel configuration)
Well, keeping kernel configuration means you get a US keyboard layout, so
that means you're not actually testing what we want tested.
but I don't understand why first it ask me if I want the Italian
keyboard layout and than if I don't want it (probably the sequence of
the question is wrong).
And you forgotten that
10) Installare il sistema base (base system installation) -> Italia
(keyboard layout) -> linux-image-2.6.686 -> mirato: solo i driver
necessari a questo sistema (only driver needed by this system)
where the installer ask me again the keyboard layout and I select again
Italian. Now I can understand why he asked me again the keyboard layout,
but that don't work
If you can get someone else to reproduce the problem using a current daily
image then we can look further, but based on the current information and
my own test I don't think there is a problem, at least not in the
installer itself.
I have asked in the debian-italian mailing list.
Ciao
Davide
