Has UK keyboard definition changed for 26.04?

[philip-jackson]

Ubuntu Version:
UbuntuStudio 26.04 beta

Problem Description:
I downloaded the file ubuntustudio-26.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso and used it to ‘try’ this new version. I couldn’t find a keyboard choice to match my UK keyboard (purchased in UK). There are 9 variants to choose from in ‘UK Keyboard’, but none matched mine. All the choices available swapped the “ and the @, there was no £ (UK GBP currency symbol) (Shift+3 produced a #, which is the US idea of a pound symbol), I could find no way to produce the € symbol (on my keyboard, Alt GR + 4) - and there were other discrepancies.

I’ve used this 104key keyboard and its predecessors on UbuntuStudio LTS distros since around 14.04 and the basic UK keyboard choice offered at installation always worked fine. In 26.04, all the UK variants seem to be similar to the US keyboards.

Is there a way to modify the keyboard mapping within UbuntStudio?

Check Known Problems in the Beta Release Notes, there may be something there that can help.

Known Problems

• Ubuntu Studio uses the same KDE Plasma desktop environment as the official Kubuntu release, and thus, may be affected by some of the same issues. This is also true of the core packages of Ubuntu. You can see their release notes here (Kubuntu) and here (All of Ubuntu).

• You will be prompted, upon first login of any new user, to reboot to apply proper audio configurations for audio production. This is intentional and is a workaround for the installer’s inability to configure the first user as part of the “audio” group or for new users to be added to the audio group automatically.
