Bug during Alpha2 testing:

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

It also happens when you install UNE.
After installation, GNOME desktop appears.

Here's one way to address this:

I've track it down and /usr/lib/user-setup/user-setup-apply screws up custom.conf in both casper and ubiquity phases.

Making a patch today.

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

Add ubiquity as rebuild is needed to take last user-setup-apply script version

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package user-setup - 1.28ubuntu2

---------------
user-setup (1.28ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * user-setup-apply: preserve old values in custom.conf. Only replace
    what's needed (LP: #507121)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.1.11

---------------
ubiquity (2.1.11) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Remove ubiquity on successful completion of oem-config (LP: #210779).

  [ Didier Roche ]
  * Rebuild needed to take 1.28ubuntu2 user-setup-apply version (LP: #507121)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Log calls to partman's freeze_choices and thaw_choices.
  * Revert frozen choices change from 2.1.8. Instead, arrange to thaw
    choices for partman/choose_partition immediately *before* going back to
    it at the end of building the cache, rather than just after it's
    displayed when thawing choices has no immediate effect (LP: #506585).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-base 135ubuntu4,
    user-setup 1.28ubuntu2.
