Bug Description
Binary package hint: oem-config
oem-config-
If I proceed to fill in requested data, it also changes my hostname to
user-laptop :(
I am able to log in via a tty, stop the oem-config UpStart service
manually, and then restart GDM. That allows me to log in as usual.
However, after that, I cannot create a terminal, either from
gnome-termial or xterm. Both report:
"There was an error creating the child process for this
terminal"
Interestingly, if I do not answer any of the oem-config questions, and
proceed to stop oem-config, GDM starts up on its own. Now, logging in I
can start up terminal programs.
oem-config version: 1.99.21

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Add missing definition of self.controller for the noninteractive
page in the language plugin.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Use an explicit state file to determine whether oem-config runs, since
with Upstart it's no longer straightforward to just add/remove rc*.d
symlinks (LP: #432180).
* We already avoid copy-blacklisting files in packages that have a prerm,
since they might require non-trivial work before removing their files.
Now also avoid copy-blacklisting files in dependencies of such packages,
as otherwise we risk leaving programs in the target system for a while
that don't have their library dependencies satisfied, causing confusion
when other programs try to use them (LP: #436613).
