Shows as United States in 'Language Support'.

Thanks for your report.

The "Language for menus and windows" setting shows which locale is used to determine the display language. That's unrelated to the keyboard layout for typing. You find the activated keyboard layouts in Settings -> Keyboard.

Closing.

Thanks I will report differently. An English->English UK install should be setting UK language and numerical etc. not United States.

Well, that's a different issue. ;)

Which time zone location did you select during the install?

And another question, btw: Did you use the new flutter based installer or the "legacy" Ubiquity one?

Time zones would be London.

I used the first working AMD64 daily live ISO of yesterday 20231115.1 that I assume defaults to the new flutter based GUI installer.

I could reproduce it.

The old installer makes use of the time zone location to "guess" the desired locale, but that is apparently not the case with the flutter based installer (at least not for the English variants).

There is a similar issue reported at GitHub: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer/issues/2386
