[Bug 210287] [NEW] PS3: KDM login not working after install from Kubuntu 7.10 Alternate CD

After installing from Kubuntu Gutsy(7.10) Alternate install CD for PS3 I was unable to get the KDM login screen.  The PS3 would always boot to a command prompt.

I traced this issue to a double entry in the "/etc/default/locale" file
which was causing the "/etc/init.d/kdm" script to fail when checking
locale.  The file contained two identical lines...

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

Running the "/etc/init.d/kdm" script yielded the following...

user1 at ps3:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
sed: -e expression #1, char 32: unterminated `s' command


Deleting the extra line in "/etc/default/locale" resolved the problem and allowed the "/etc/init.d/kdm" script to run from the command line and on boot.

Perhaps this was triggered by bug# 154083.  I got to a point in the
install where the installer wasn't able to find the "linux-cell" kernel
image.  It produced a menu where I had to select a kernel image.  I
selected "linux-image-2.6.22-14-cell" and the install continued.  If I
remember correctly, it went through some of the install steps that had
already been performed (keyboard, timezone setup, etc.).  Perhaps this
caused the second entry in "/etc/default/locale".
