Title:
  [20.04] Keyboard layout changes during installation before typing
  username/password

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Focal:
  Triaged
Status in ubiquity source package in Hirsute:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  During a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, selecting Norwegian keyboard
  is provided and keys are responding correctly at that stage. But later
  when entering user information the keyboard setting is wrong.

  It looks like it have fallen back to English keyboard-layout.
  I failed to log in after my first install, so a new attempt I tried to write some special letters in the name field, and noticed that I got the wrong characters for the key.

  The install is done in VMware workstation 15.

  In the attached screendump, the characters (';[":{) after my name
  should have been (æøåÆØÅ) that is norwegian characters.

  Problem analysis
  ================

  * ubiquity installs open-vm-tools.
  * open-vm-tools calls "udevadm trigger" in it's postinst script (line 8).
  * udevadm triggers all udev rules which includes all input devices.
  * gdm-x-session reads /etc/default/keyboard and sets the keyboard layout.
  * gnome-shell sets the keyboard layout as well.

  ubiquity already sets /etc/default/keyboard, but does not change the
  keyboard layout in the GNOME session.

  Proposed solution
  =================

  Let ubiquity also configure the GNOME session to use the selected
  keyboard layout.
