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

[Timo Jyrinki]

I just installed Ubuntu 19.04 with UEFI boot, selecting Finnish as both
the language and the keyboard layout. The layout happens to be correct
for me after installation, ä and ö are working and only Finnish is
listed in Input Methods / layouts.

(My only problem is that the installer does no longer offer Finnish
keyboard by default if choosing Finnish language, a regression that I'm
trying to find a bug for)

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.
