[Bug 1549529] [NEW] The keyboard is still installed as US-English even if another language is selected during the installation

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

- Particularly serious in UEFI mode (when grub is the only boot loader).

- Affects at least Lubuntu and Xubuntu

- Affects not only Swedish, at least also French, probably all languages except US-English.
-----

Workaround:

If I install Swedish language in the live session *before* starting the installer, it works to get Swedish keyboard in the installed system.
-----

This bug is reported from a system installed from Lubuntu Xenial
alternate i386, but the corresponding desktop version is also affected.
It is a rather new bug, that seems to have appeared at about the same
time as the big problems with starting Ubiquity.

Selecting another language in the installer looks the same in the
alternate installer. But it looks different in the desktop installer.
The locale is not pre-selected, you click on the world map, and you are
asked if the selected keyboard is correct. The following window with
alternative keyboards is empty. But that would be OK, if the installer
would do, what it promises.

After installation a lot of text is in the selected language, Swedish in
my  case, for example the pulldown menus in lxterminal. But when I type,
the US English keyboard is still there. I have to run

setxkbmap se

to get Swedish keyboard.
