[Bug 562640] Re: "Guernsey" being chosen automatically sets USA keyboard layout instead of UK.

[Glyn Modiford Burton]

This still appears to be the case two years on in 12.04!  To be Precise
(see what I did there??  Oh, never mind...) I was using the Alternative
Beta 2 installation because I am using Intel Fake RAID (though that in
itself is broken!) - during the setup process:

Select A Language ... Select Your Location.
  United Kingdom is shown.  Select instead Europe, then Guernsey.
Configure Locales
  United States is shown.  Change to United Kingdom.
Configure Keyboard
  English UK is shown.

The time locale is determined to be correct, GMT / London / Guernsey
later on in the installer.

This also relates to other Channel Islands of Jersey, Alderney (the
smaller islands of Sark and Herm) and possibly Isle of Man.

For reference, I reported this to Team FreeBSD and they resolved it,
should you need to crib some notes from them.

Best regards - and looking forward to 12.04 officially being released,
and the subsequent Mythbuntu spin-off.

Title:
  "Guernsey" being chosen automatically sets USA keyboard layout instead
  of UK.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  For those of us in the Channel Islands, I would expect both Jersey and
  Guernsey users would prefer that the default keyboard layout is "UK"
  and not 'USA" :)
