I have installed 11.04 on 2 systems, one xubuntu and one kubuntu, both from alternate install disks. On both of them despite detecting the keyboard as a UK keyboard the default layout is US although the rest of the locale is correctly set to UK.

I know I can set the keyboard layout in settings but I would rather reconfigure the default to UK. Is the best way of doing this still to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?

thanks

default keyboard is (in natty) handled by /etc/default/keyboard, you can edit that and/or use

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Thanks Kubicle, that did the trick.
