ISO testing: USB stick: OEM installation mode cannot be deselected after an OEM install from the USB stick

[Colin Ian King]

I created a USB stick containing todays ISO image (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20110901/oneiric-desktop-amd64.iso)
and first did an OEM installation test (ISO Testing, test case: http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopOem).

After this test, I then re-booted off the same USB stick and every time I did this I booted into OEM installation mode as default. This even re-occurs when I pressed F4, selected "Normal" and ensured I was NOT selecting OEM installation mode on the initial boot screen. The only way to seem to get rid of the default OEM installation mode is to re-create the USB stick image.

The problem is quite likely that something sets the oem debconf key and doesn't clear it at boot time, will try to reproduce and fix here.

This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.327

---------------
casper (1.327) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Tim Lunn ]
  * add gnome-shell favorites tweak to 25adduser
  * Add 16gdmnopasswd script, removes gdm password dialog for live user.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Fix casper when running on some RAID systems. (LP: #1047316, LP: #965735)
  * Apply patch by Tyler Gates to try and better handle dm devices, should help
    with the above change too. (LP: #865529)
  * Use /sys/class/net/ instead of hardcoded eth* devices.
    (LP: #905828, LP: #962546)
  * Allow overriding username/userfullname/hostname on the boot command line
    as is mentioned in the manpage but was never implemented.
    Note that when using persistence, those used for the first boot will be
    remembered through /etc/casper.conf (LP: #907482)
  * Reset oem-config/enable to false every boot. (LP: #838680)
  * Add Breaks/Replaces to ubiquity-casper to properly upgrade when both
    casper and ubiquity-casper are installed. (LP: #1046300)
  * Apply patch by cleary to avoid hang in 41apt_cdrom when .disk/info doesn't
    exist. (LP: #909919)
  * Eject by block device instead of mountpoint, this should avoid ejecting
    the cdrom on USB installations. (LP: #869238)
  * Add 'check' target to debian/rules based on ubiquity's (LP: #570243)
