Bug Description

Hi,

The startx session (event.d upstart job) hardcodes the ubuntu user; we should change casper to use the target username instead.

Bye,

Having read the wiki page, I don't think it makes sense to do any of this in user-setup. user-setup already exports the username in passwd/username, and casper can retrieve that in a post-installation hook (ubiquity-hooks/) and do whatever it wants with it.

Changed in user-setup (Ubuntu):
status: New → Won't Fix
Changed in casper (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Wishlist
status: New → Triaged
