I'm able to reproduce Sebastien's success by following the steps in comment #9.
At the same time I'm able to reproduce the failure as reported by both Pjotr12345 and myself via these steps: - boot the iso - patiently wait, without pressing any key, until Ubiquity boots [yes Seb, I can be patient sometimes] -> Ubiquity is booted with English preselected (see attached image) - Change to Nederlands -> The display language changes instantly - Click the "ubuntu installieren" button -> The basic English (US) layout is selected So it seems like the language must be selected before Ubiquity boots to get a reasonably guessed preselected layout. But how would the user know that pressing a key initially makes a difference when they are not told so? The official installation instruction here: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop does not mention the syslinux menu either. The desired behavior is reasonably that when you change the language on Ubiquity's welcome screen, the preselected layout should be changed to match the selected language (just as the display language is). Btw, with the press-a-key approach, "Try Ubuntu" enters a session with the correct layout in /etc/default/keyboard. So yes, this is probably a pure ubiquity bug, not affecting gnome-settings-daemon. ** Attachment added: "ubiquity-welcome.jpeg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1758647/+attachment/5101934/+files/ubiquity-welcome.jpeg ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: High => Undecided ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Bionic) Assignee: Sebastien Bacher (seb128) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1758647/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
