Comment 1 for bug 669219

(Please note that the oem-config upstream project is not used for bug
reporting, and that oem-config has been merged into ubiquity. I've
moved your bug to the ubiquity package on Ubuntu.)

They aren't supposed to be in the audio or video groups any more, and
the installer does not do this by default. Your audio and video
problems are not related to the installer.

user-setup (1.20ubuntu3) intrepid; urgency=low

  * debian/user-setup-udeb.templates: Drop the initial user from some groups
    which have better dynamic replacements, in an effort to reduce the misuse
    of groups for assigning privileges:
    - audio, video, floppy: Hal assigns ACLs for local foreground console
      users; remote users should not have these. 'cdrom' has to stay for
      apt-cdrom (Debian #464899), 'plugdev' has to stay for static mountpoints
      created by the installer.
    - dip: Not used anywhere in Ubuntu.
    See intrepid-device-permissions spec.

Note that, since that changelog entry was written, the responsibility
for assigning ACLs has been moved to udev. See e.g.
/lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules. You'll need to have ConsoleKit working
as well.

Users created by oem-config should still be in the lpadmin group. If
this isn't happening, please provide debugging logs.
