[Bug 1826409] Re: [19.04] Input method (keyboard) not respected

[Tom Reynolds]

Quick summary (from my POV, after discussing this with Marco in #ubuntu-
bugs):

The issue described here is that the keyboard layout chosen during the
Ubuntu 19.04 amd64 (default flavour) installer step does not carry to
the installed system, where only the US-English keyboard will be
available no matter what was set during the installer.

This is not an issue with ordering of available / configured / installed
keyboard layouts. The layout chosen during the installation is simply
discarded, is not configured on the installed system, the installed
system always has the US-English keyboard layout installed exclusively.

This may turn out to be a result of the issue described in bug 1826567
(although some of the initial description here suggests differently).

Title:
  [19.04] Input method (keyboard) not respected

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I installed 19.04 in a VM using VirtualBox 6.0.6 from the .iso image
  (Live DVD).

  I selected "English" as the language and the input method I selected
  was "Portuguese (Portugal)" which is my keyboard layout.

  I created a password with special characters.

  However, when we get to the login screen, the keyboard is
  automatically the one from the language installation, so the special
  characters always give a wrong password warning.

  After I found a way of matching the special characters with the
  English keyboard, I get into the desktop and insert a Portuguese input
  method in the settings and change it in the top right of the window to
  "pt".

  However, in every boot, in the login screen we still have "en"
  although "pt" appears below it if we click, but I have to change on
  every boot to "pt" since Ubuntu doesn't remember it.

  Basically, this bug report is about the keyboard layout that uses the
  installation language and not the keyboard we select during
  installation.
