user created in firstboot screen doesnt have admin privs

[Michael Brown]

Binary package hint: oem-config

Gutsy daily image 2007-10-05.

Ran oem-config-prepare at the end of the install.

On firstboot, created a user using the GUI dialog presented. The user created does not appear to have administrative privs needed to run 'sudo'.

Because the install was scripted with no root password, this leaves the system in a state where you cant get to root at all.

This was due to this user-setup bug, since fixed:

user-setup (1.14ubuntu4) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Only call archdetect if we have it, in order not to break use of the
    .deb outside ubiquity.

I'll upload oem-config shortly to incorporate this.

oem-config (1.22) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Only run gnome-settings-daemon if it exists, removing dependency on
    gnome-control-center (LP: #147852).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Make sure the next button remains the default widget despite being
      hidden and re-shown.
  * Update translations from Rosetta.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: user-setup 1.14ubuntu4
    (LP: #149582).

I am still seeing this problem on the 08 Oct live CD. Verified that manifest appears to have oem-config 1.22 and user-setup 1.14ubuntu4.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Argh. OK, I'll see if I can reproduce this (though tomorrow now).

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I am unable to reproduce this. Could you please show me /var/log/oem-config.log?

[Michael Brown (michael-e-brown)]

upgraded to oem-config 1.22 and this is fixed. Hopefully the next Live DVD has this (the Live CD already does).

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Excellent, good to hear it. Thanks!
