Please note that it was the groovy daily image (from 2020-06-25) I used.

UEFI

Install Ubuntu (safe graphics)

But just now I tried again, and made an observation which may be important.

When achieving the result in comment #20 I did:

* Selected the Swedish language on the Welcome window

* When the window for keyboard layout selection showed up, the Swedish layout was pre-selected, so I just clicked "Continue".

* In the window for entering name, password etc. the English (US) layout was effective.

However - this is today's experiment:

* Selected the Swedish language on the Welcome window

* When the window for keyboard layout selection showed up, the Swedish layout was pre-selected. But I still changed to some other layout, and then changed back to the Swedish one before clicking "Continue".

* In the window for entering name, password etc. the Swedish layout was effective.

This indicates that the issue with English (US) always being effective when entering name, password etc. only happens if you accept the pre-selected layout without touching other layouts, and not when you explicitly select a layout of your choice.
