I tried recreating this by booting a Precise desktop CD dated 20111129.1 and choosing Italian at the "Try Ubuntu" menu. I then went to settings and choose keyboard layout and my layout is infact Italian. Is there something I'm doing wrong in trying to verify this?

Hello Brian,

I just tested Alpha2 and I still find this bug. An easy way to check keyboard is trying Shift 2. The english keyboard has the @, the italian the ". I got the @ with the Precise 20120201 image.

Installed 12.04 beta 2 from cdrom on my i3-2120T. I could not get norwegian keyboard, only english. Then I installed both English and Norwegian at the same time, enabling me to choose between them in the top bar. When choosing Norwegian keyboard layout, I get english, and when I choose english keyboard, I get norwegian layout. Something is really mixed up here.
