[Bug 1959310] [NEW] Ubuntu install program forgets selected keyboard layout

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The Ubuntu install program is broken since 18.04 LTS. When selecting the
keyboard layout and testing it, everything works ok, but once the
installation commences and one can enter user name and password, always
the english keyboard is active again automatically. This is annoying if
someone enters a password with special characters and upon logging in
after install, the password won't work.

Steps to reproduce:

- download Jammy live USB jammy-desktop-amd64.iso
- create a new Virtual Machine for Ubuntu or install on a normal PC
- once the option screen appears: "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" select "Install Ubuntu"
- in the keyboard selection screen choose "Germany" and "German" layout; typing in the console window shows correct layout is installed
- progress through the installer until you arrive at the user name/password entry page
- type in any of the line edits --> english keyboard is active again
