2008-10-23 13:36:36 Emmet Hikory description Binary package hint: ubiquity Ubiquity 1.10.7 prompts the user for step 4 (name, username, password, hostname, auto-login) when run with --automatic only when not also run with --debug using the following preseed file: d-i passwd/user-fullname string Ubuntu MID User d-i passwd/username string ubuntu d-i passwd/allow-password-empty boolean true d-i passwd/user-password password d-i passwd/user-password-again password d-i netcfg/get_hostname string ubuntu d-i mirror/http/hostname string ports.ubuntu.com d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu-ports d-i mirror/suite string intrepid Binary package hint: ubiquity Ubiquity 1.10.7 prompts the user for step 5 (name, username, password, hostname, auto-login) when run from the .desktop file with the following preseed file: d-i passwd/user-fullname string Ubuntu MID User d-i passwd/username string ubuntu d-i passwd/allow-password-empty boolean true d-i passwd/user-password password d-i passwd/user-password-again password d-i netcfg/get_hostname string ubuntu d-i mirror/http/hostname string ports.ubuntu.com d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu-ports d-i mirror/suite string intrepid When run from the command line, the expected behaviour is seen. Further, adding --debug to the .desktop file does not appear to produce debug output.

2008-10-23 14:14:35 Emmet Hikory kourou: statusexplanation The cause of this bug is that kourou is not passing the arguments provided in the Exec: block of the .desktop file to the launched application. As a result, ubiquity is not being launched with the --automatic option, although the .desktop file clearly indicates this is the correct behaviour. This was verified by modifying .desktop files for other applications with arguments and noting that the arguments were ignored on launch. Once kourou honours arguments, ubiquity should just work.
