[Bug 533003] Re: Keyboard selection - Guernsey should be UK not USA

[Glyn M Burton]

Hello Colin,

I have just installed the recently released 13.04 and at the graphical
region selection stage during initial setup Guernsey appears somewhere
in Africa!  Then the very next choice - USA keyboard - again!

Then once in the Unity desktop proper under the Time and Date settings I
can type Guernsey and get everywhere from Arkansas to Wyoming, USA but
not within Channel Islands.  The neighbouring island of Jersey is also
absent.

I ovewrote the keyboard selection to UK during the setup stage but
Regional Settings within Unity still has "Display numbers, dates..." as
"English (United States)".

Essentially everything for Guernsey (Alderney, Herm, Sark - collectively
Bailiwick of Guernsey) and Jersey should be treated per UK / Great
Britain in terms of defaults derrived from selecting those locations,
including GMT and regional variences.

Thanks,

Glyn 'Modiford' B.,
Guernsey,
Channel Islands.

Title:
  Keyboard selection - Guernsey should be UK not USA

Status in “console-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: base-installer

  Firstly it's great that yo have included Guernsey and the other UK
  islands into your distribution as locations.  It's a nice touch to
  include us Ubuntu users in our small island homelands.

  When selecting Guernsey as a location the next page defaults to a US /
  USA keyboard layout.  It should be UK as per England / Great Britain.
  Though not checked, I suspect Jersey, Isle of Man and others may
  default the same way and should also be set to a UK keymap.

  If it helps, I posted a similar 'bug' to the folks in the FreeBSD World.  I have tracked down a copy of it online:
  http://freebsd.monkey.org/freebsd-bugs/200806/msg00119.html

  Many thanks for taking the time to read this and for the effort you
  all put into Ubuntu as a whole.

  Best regards,

  Modiford
  Guernsey, Channel Islands.

  PS - I'm sorry if this is not specifically within the "Base Installer"
  package.  Please relocate as appropriate.
