Steps:

  • download daily canary 20220513
  • run the installer and select a keyboard layout

/var/log/installer/subiquity-server-debug.log:

Running the same setxkbmap -layout xx command in the terminal works, though.

Is this because setkbmap needs to talk to X?

Allow Subiquity to run setxkbmap

Subiquity has been changed to run setxkbmap as the ubuntu user. The
last missing piece is to set the DISPLAY environment variable to let
setxkbmap access the display.

Fixes: canonical#832
