1. Which version of Ubuntu are you using? To tell us open a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T and enter:
---------------------------------------------------------------
lsb_release -a; uname -a
--------------------------------------------------------------

Copy and paste the results back here.

Also try

----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo xkbmap us
----------------------------------------------------------------
or
----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo setxkbmap us -variant intl
----------------------------------------------------------------

Does either of these work?

options for keyboard layout can be found here
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
in your file system

A final option may be to re-install. You are asked for keyboard layout when you install.

Can you help with this problem?
