Why can I not get 13.2 to set my keyboard to UK English?
This is on an old Samsung R60 that was fine in 13.1 but now I cannot get it
to set the keyboard for the @ sign, looks as if it is set to USA or other
foreign setup.
Have changed the setup in system settings and also the ctype in sysconfig
but still no joy…
I have tried this on 2 complete 13.2 installs and no luck.
Maybe me being stupid but it worked OK on earlier versions.

If you are using KDE then there should be a little symbol
in the bottom right on the panel. When I did my install it
said US. That’s where I set mine to UK/extended.

Cheers for that but for some unknown reason it does not seem to want to
stick at UK.
I have even gone back on my spare ( testing ) drive and done a complete new
install of 13.2 and still the language and the keyboard layout is wrong.
Now don`t get me wrong but I should know by now how to set this up.
Have been using linux since 1994`ish 
I will try again with another fresh install, cheers all the best.

For a permanent change, you may need to go to System Settings>Input Devices>Keyboard>Layouts

Well success
Though what I actually did to get the settings to stick I am not quite sure.
I did go back to system setting keyboard layouts and all looked OK but still
it was not right, however after closing down the System Settings all was
working fine.
Bit of a puzzler because I had done this a few times with no effect.
But I am now a happy bunny
Cheers.
