After choosing location, keyboard should be guessed

[Jacek Sieka]

I'm installing lucid from the kubuntu daily cd. It lets me choose where I am to set timezone information - based on this it would be reasonable to guess my keyboard layout as well (I'm in Sweden, I'm likely to have a swedish keyboard layout). Instead, I'm presented with the default us layout.

Installing Ubuntu Saucy with the language as English, Ubiquity guesses English (UK) for the keyboard with the location as London. Similarly, for Oslo, Helsinki and Paris it also makes reasonable guesses. However, for Stockholm and Berlin it guesses English (US).

With the language as Svensk and the location as Stockholm, it guesses Svensk for the keyboard, though.

My previous comment was for Ubuntu, but the bug reporter was using Kubuntu. With Kubuntu 13.10, Ubiquity always guesses English (US) for the keyboard, at least for all the countries I tried in comment 2. I only tried English as the language.

Please be aware, that the setting of the keyboard should be done as soon as possible. E.g. with the keyboard you could enter a city in the time zone picker. See related bugs, where an early keyboard selection is very important:
