doing an install in oem mode from a kubuntu install today in virtualbox the install works fine, and the oem setup is fine but on reboot it crashes on running oem-config. The crash is due to NM not running I think. This was from virtualbox, I did not have this issue on a hardware install.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Still an issue in beta 2 candidate images.

The Ubuntu (unity) images have a similar issue where the install only mode freezes while connecting to a wifi network.

May be duplicate for bug 1178638 "Exception in GTK frontend when attempting to connect to wifi: no logind support" which xnox is fixing

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.15.20
