Bug Description

I selected the English (UK) keyboard layout in Ubiquity during installation (from the live session) but after I had installed Ubuntu the keyboard layout was English (US), meaning I had to change the keyboard layout setting again. This is an inconvenience which should be resolved.

Further, things like Firefox history aren't carried over from the live session into the install and this probably should be, but this is more of a feature request, the keyboard layout really should persist in the install.

Computer info:
VirtualBox Graphical User Interface Version 5.0.24_Ubuntu r108355

Host OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit
