Bug Description

In Kubuntu 6.10, RC1 I believe[1] when you put the CD you ca choose the keymap with F3. I did it, chose Dvorak and a weir square appeared on a screen with some text. I've booted and neither the console (text mode) nor the KDE session has the keyboard in Dvorak mode. This used to work on the previous version of Kubuntu (Dapper).
Thank you.

Is this the live CD or after you've installed it?

Most of this should have been fixed a while back, but the console is still broken; I'm fixing that now.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Hack around keyboard configuration not being done until after the keymap
    is set by having /etc/init.d/usplash reconfigure the console
    (LP: #68487).
  * Disable pam_lastlog on the console if doing autologin (LP: #126800).

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * scripts/casper-bottom/30accessibility &
    ubiquity-hooks/30accessibility:
    - Prevent gksu from grabbing keyboard focus for the v2, v3, and m1
      accessibility profiles. (LP: #67172)
  * Start Orca when a Braille device is configured from choosing the
    Braille option in the Accessibility menu. (Partially fixes Launchpad
    bug #122024)
  * Re-enable desktop sounds for the blindness accessibility profile, as
    eSpeak should be able to speak alongside audio playback.
