Sorry, I'm unable to verify or test for a week, but IIRC setting it as parameter (or using the alias keymap=fi) did actually change the layout in the installer console.
However the changes were not saved in the target system in /etc/default/keyboard as XKBLAYOUT="fi". I also tried setting these items in preseed without success: {d-i,keyboard-configuration} keyboard-configuration/{layout,layoutcode ,xkb-keymap,variant} -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553147 Title: xenial preseed cannot set keyboard layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1553147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
