[Bug 886692] [NEW] Ubuntu Installer and Bluetooth Keyboards

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

1) Ubuntu 11.10 (OneiricOcelot)

2) Ubuntu 11.10 installer

The Problem
-----------------
I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 and noticed that bluetooth services are shutdown while at the same time the Ubuntu installer is asking the user to press the "Enter" key on the keyboard.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
1) Download the Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit image from the Web site and burn it to a CD
2) Prepare you hardware. You may ONLY use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. You may not use a wired keyboard.
3) Perform a clean installation. Once the installation is complete, there will be a dialog box saying something along the lines of "you need to restart . . .". Click the restart button.

At this point, the UI will shutdown and drop you out at a basic console
as the shutdown sequence is initiated. The installer will simultaneously
eject the CD and instructions are given to remove the CD from the tray
and press "Enter" to finish rebooting. However, at this point Bluetooth
services have already been shut down so using a bluetooth keyboard is
impossible. This can be verified by (1) noticing that the bluetooth
keyboard no longer functions, and (2) seeing the report that Bluetooth
services are stopped in the output further up the screen.

Of course, the solution is a hard reset, and it's not particularly
dangerous at this point, but it should not be necessary.

What I expect to happen
-----------------------------
I expect the keyboard to still be functional if I am given instructions to use it! The install media should be ejected, the instructions presented before the shutdown sequence is initiated. Or, don't worry about asking the user to press "Enter" and just eject the media and restart without requiring user intervention. The world will eventually move away from optical media as the primary installation medium in time.
