Hi all,
to change keyboard on login screen is sufficient click on kbd icon and choose the preferred keyboard; but how can I do that via terminal?
I mean: to change clock settings, I just have to edit /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf but for the kbd? The only way to do that is to edit /etc/default/keyboard?
Thanks,
Sil
thanks, jlb
it was only my laziness 
ā¦ just for avoiding to switch from us kbd to italian one in my custom live-dvd; but since it can start in english, italian, french, occitan, greek and german, the best is to leave it as is and remembering to set keyboard at first login 
Off topicā¦ is this based on 24.04 or later? Do you have a writeup / blog describing (step by step?) how you produced the custom iso? Thanks in advance.
Cubic (Custom Ubuntu ISO Creator) ?
'jour jlb, and fossfreedom
in this last year Iām using Cubic for the same reason Iāve opened this thread ā¦ my laziness 
but until las year I was doing everything by myself; some time ago something went wrong in iso building part of the whole process and then I āswitchedā from Tilix to Cubic.
And yes, is 24.04, and yes somewhere I have a sort of bordereau of the whole thing but if my memory doesnāt fail, Iāve published a sort of howto in here some years ago (Iāll go looking for it right now, then Iāll edit this answer).
About Cubic, thereās a sort of bug in last (last? sort of outdated ālastā:
2024.09-39-experimental~202409012115~ubuntu24.04.1
or
2024.09-89-release~202409062212~ubuntu24.04.1) and building oracular or plucky it gets this error:
Unable to update the installer
sources toā¦ install-sources.yaml
the error has been added in issues list last april, 18 (ubuntu 25.04 Ā· Issue #392 Ā· PJ-Singh-001/Cubic Ā· GitHub) but Mr. Singh didnāt do anything, for the moment (and right now I havenāt nor time, neither desire for studying code and try to resolve it )

[EDIT] Iā havenāt found anything in here (and I was sure I posted that howto!) and on my PC I have only found sort of outline notes I update for myself, in italian and studded here and there with words that arenāt so nice, at least for a mother as I am 
: I can test it (is quite old), purge it and translate it in english, if you want.
Finally ā¦ Iāve also written down a script to fully install my own distro after standard install; like the notes above mentioned, is sort of a mess (but you wonāt find any notSuitableForAMotherAsIAm word in it ); if you want, I can share it here.

Je veux, mon neveu ! 
ā stupid popular French formula, youād be more like a niece, but that doesnāt rhyme.
ok - cheers for the info - I was hoping you were using ubuntu-image for the modifications with a cloud-init script and xorriso to write the ISO.
Ah well.
No, ok, sorry ā¦
Iāve tried (while eating my barley and spelt salad with seafood at my desk and instead of watching [part of] a movie as Iām used to during lunch break 
) to follow my old bordereau but Iāve already faced several problems, first and most serious of which is the fact that minimal standard.***.squasfs is really minimal and thereās for sure something else to be mounted if I want to avoid
chroot: failed to run command ā/bin/bashā: No such file or directory
error when chrooting, but now I must go back to work, lunch break is ended 
.
Iāll think on it in next days.
About installing first and customizing after, my script is just a small collection of yad windows for setting up basic IDE customizations, followed by - in few words - an apt-get --dselect-upgrade based on a selections file I keep updated and a yad window that the user can run after first login, if she/he wants, for deeper IDE customization.
Have a nice day, mon oncle and fossfreedom!
[NB: jāai dit mon oncle car tu as dit mon neveu (ma niĆØce, cāest mieux ;-)); ti tu auras dit ma petite-fille, jāaurai dit mon grand-pĆØre ā¦ btw, is nice, not stupid that formula!]
Maybe your dad, Sil, maybeā¦
