Bug Description

Binary package hint: oem-config

This behavior has been observed consistently on both 8.10 and 9.04.

1. Install a system with the alternate installer and in OEM mode.
2. Run oem-config-prepare
3. Reboot
4. Choose a keyboard layout different from the layout chosen during the initial installation
5. Finish oem-config
6. Until you reboot the system the keyboard layout chosen during initial installation will prevail.

So for example
- in step 1 I specify a Danish keyboard layout
- in step 4 I choose a US keyboard layout

Result: I am left with a Danish keyboard layout until I reboot the first time.

I believe the selection in step 4 should be effective immediately?

HAL needs to be restarted for the oem-config-selected keyboard selections to take effect.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.99.18

ubiquity (1.99.18) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Do not provide an inaccurate remaining time estimate for the file copy
    process (LP: #199834). Thanks rugby471!
  * Call reboot as root. Thanks Mario Limonciello!
  * Don't let the user proceed past the timezone page until a selection has
    been made (LP 425011).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-auto
    89ubuntu1, partman-partitioning 71ubuntu1.

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * Add a default oem-config post-install hook that restarts HAL. This lets
    HAL pick up any keyboard changes we made. LP: #395625

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * More packaging simplifications: move dh_clean arguments to debian/clean;
    remove old $(BUILDDIR) cruft; move architecture-specific
    build-dependencies to debian/control, which dpkg has supported for quite
    a while; use dh-di for partman scripts.
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Fix method name to allow page changing in partitioner (LP: #427347).
  * Fix oem-config crash if the KDE frontend is detected, due to trying to
    delete UBIQUITY_MIGRATION_ASSISTANT from the environment when it's not
    there (LP: #414854).
  * Stop ubiquity-dm crashing if a process it's trying to kill doesn't exist
    (LP: #423700).

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Update path to kdesu in ubiquity-wrapper
