Keyboard layout always resets to US on reboot

So, on each reboot my keyboard always resets to US!

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration gives temporary relief.

Is there a way to make it permanent?

I tried:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

This did not work, and on reboot gnome3 was no longer responsive so I am back to gnome classic....

Please stop breaking Ubuntu, it used to be great now its as bad as Windows used to be..... which now only costs £70 and is no where near as high maintenance.

Not sure if this will help - but resolving keyboard layout issues on Arch Linux the following command always works :

setxkbmap gb

Replacing gb with your preferred keyboard layout, I have never had this issue with ubuntu, or tested this command on ubuntu, but it should work. Let me know :o) :
