This issue does exist in Trusty (probably in Utopic as well). It didn't exist a few versions ago (I don't remember which one introduced the bug).
If I boot from the Live USB (created using "dd"), select another language (Portuguese, for example) then "Try Ubuntu", the live session has English keyboard layout, UTC time and almost all text in English (some things in Portuguese). The text being in English is OK, but the keyboard layout and timezone not being what I selected is not OK. And, as mentioned in comment #7, when the boot process reaches the "purple screen with some icons at the bottom" (like this: http://pix .toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445119.png), if I press some key and then select Portuguese from there and "Try Ubuntu", the live session will have the correct keyboard layout (not sure about the timezone). So, there's a bug somewhere. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297234 Title: Live session set wrong keyboard layout and time zone Status in “console-setup” package in Ubuntu: Expired Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: Expired Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “console-setup” source package in Trusty: Invalid Status in “ibus” source package in Trusty: Invalid Status in “ubiquity” source package in Trusty: Invalid Bug description: When I boot the Ubuntu Studio 14.04 beta 2 testing it will start with keyboard set to English US and time zone as UTC.
