Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Ubuntu Gutsy x86.
After installation (in a kvm/qemu virtual machine) from the Desktop ISO
image keyboard preferences > Layouts listed only U.S. English despite
the host using a standard British en-gb keyboard and qemu being passed
the "-k en-gb" option.
Time-zone is set to London, 'locale' reports en_GB.UTF8 for all
environment variables.
I manually added the United Kingdom layout to gnome-keyboard-properties
and set it as the default. I also disabled "Separate layout for each
window". The UK layout wasn't used by applications so I restarted the
guest.
At the gdm login the layout was still en-us (shift-3 was # not £, etc.).
After log-in and confirming the default setting was still 'United
Kingdom' in gnome-keyboard-properties the 'U.S. English' layout was
still in effect. Doing Alt+F2 and typing shift-3 resulted in # not £.
The keyboard-indicator panel applet shows "GBr" which I assume is short
for Great Britain (shouldn't this text match the layout code and show
'United Kingdom' ?)
According to the help text the "Reset to defaults" button should
"restore all keyboard layout settings to their initial state for your
system and locale"
If I now use the keyboard-indicator to select the 'United Kingdom' group
the layout changes and shift-3 correctly produces £.
It seems as if all the settings report United Kingdom (including
keyboard-indicator showing 'GBr') but until keyboard-indicator is used
to select a layout the system still defaults to U.S. English.
