[Bug 1706859] Re: Auto-selected keyboard layout no longer matches chosen region on "Where are you" page

[Rik Mills]

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

** Description changed:

  Kubuntu 17.10 Alpha 2 iso image
  Build 20170725
  
+ 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.
+ 
  Steps to reproduce:
  
- On "Where are you page" set region and time zone to "United Kingdom"
- Go to next page "Keyboard Layout"
+ - On the "try or install screen", select try kubuntu, then launch ubiquity via -the desktop icon in the live session.
+ - On "Where are you page" set region and time zone to "United Kingdom"
+ - 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.
