For the sake of completeness, I repeated the test with the latest daily build of Xubuntu Bionic (timestamped: 2018-04-04 06:05). Again: the Xubuntu iso shows precisely the same results as with the Ubuntu iso.
This seems to rule out gnome-settings-daemon as culprit... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation. It's now "English, US" but should be: "English (US) - English (US, intl., with dead keys)". Or, in other words, it should be: XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="intl" (additional remark in order to prevent any misunderstandings: the original Dutch keyboard (nl) has completely disappeared long ago, so all keyboards sold in the Netherlands have US keyboards which need the "intl" xkbvariant with dead keys, in order to be able to type accents) This is a regression, at least compared with Ubuntu 16.04 and earlier (I don't know about 16.10, 17.04 and 17.10).
