Keyboard layout test doesn't seem to work in firstboot

[Matt Zimmerman]

Binary package hint: oem-config

I used a dvorak layout in d-i, but then chose plain U.S. English in firstboot. The text input box for testing the layout still used dvorak, though.

Once I clicked through to the next screen, the layout was correct and I was able to enter my login details as expected, and the layout was correct from there onward.

The type to test setting in keyboard preferences does not work for me either.

Still the same on 2008-02-25. It works on ubiquity though.

I noticed this in the RC-candidate Hardy DVD. How odd.

The gnome-keyboard-properties test textbox does not work for me on an installed system either right now.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Having figured out what's wrong, the gnome-keyboard-properties problem is an unrelated bug.

This bug was fixed in the package oem-config - 1.37
