unlike #1 - on Ubuntu Budgie we see this issue occurring from the
Try/Install screen as well EXCEPT (oddly) if encrypting/lvm the drive
when the UK keyboard is then automatically chosen.

Doing iso testing this morning, I indeed see this on the Try/install
screen as well.

So seems this issue has regressed further to effect both install paths.

** Description changed:

Kubuntu Or Ubuntu Mate 17.10 Alpha 2 iso image
Build 20170725

or

Ubuntu daily iso build

EDIT: This only seems to happen when you launch ubiquity in a live
session. Starting the installation from the "try or install screen"
instead seems to correctly set the matching keyboard layout by default.

+ EDIT2: 28/09/2017 - beta2 testing - This has now regressed so it seems
+ to occur when installing from BOTH the Try/Install screen, and from the
+ live session install links
+
Steps to reproduce:

- - On the "try or install screen", select try 'your flavour', then launch ubiquity via -the desktop icon in the live session.
+ - Start installation via either the Try/install screen. or the live session install links.
- On "Where are you page" set region and time zone to "United Kingdom" (London in Mate & Ubuntu's case)
- Go to next page "Keyboard Layout"

What happens:

I am offered by default the English (US) keyboard layout and variant.

What should happen:

In 17.04 and previous ubiquity versions, the appropriate English (UK)
option was chosen/presented by default to match my location settings
from the previous screen.

A regression like this could result in someone who is inattentive, or
perhaps does many installs and simply assumes that the matching happens
so does not notice, getting the wrong default keyboard setting on fresh
install.

I certainly can't reproduce this anymore. I've updated console-setup a
few weeks ago to fix a clear issue in the config script that would
affect this as well.

At this point, I consider this is fixed, closing the bug as Fix
Released.

Please don't hesitate to re-open or file a new report if keymap
selection doesn't work for you.

Mathieu - still occurs in todays release candidate for Ubuntu Budgie.

Popey saw this when he was demonstrating as part of the 17.10 community
iso testing ubuntu-on-air event.

i.e. english language - defaulted to London UK - next screen was US
keyboard.

The same on Kubuntu when I tested earlier with latest isos

Tested locations of London UK, and location/time zone of France with
French language installer, and in both cases the installer preselected
English (US) keyboard.

When installing Ubuntu 17.10 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-
live/20171018/artful-desktop-amd64.iso in Italian it proposed for
English keyboard instead of Italian.

Ok; there's different behavior depending on whether someone picks
language at the splash screen or at the welcome screen in the installer.

The behaviour is also different if you start ubiquity from the live
session or directly from 'Install Ubuntu'

1. I installed 17.10 server today
2. I use English for language
3. and Swedish as the keyboard (select it with F3 before start the installation)
4. installation goes OK but it doesn't let me select the keyboard when installing, it seems to use the locale - which in this case will be US for the keyboard.
5. I tried to go back in the installation to select another keyboard but it will not allow me
6. After reboot I can't enter the encryption key since it has characters that doesn't exist in the US keyboard
