Package: calamares Version: 3.2.4-3 Severity: normal Hi!
I've just done a test installation using a 10.7.0 live image. Calamares will happily let me tell it I want my username on the new system to be "root". The installation continues happily for a while, then fails when useradd fails. It would make much more sense to check for (at least!) this username up front (and possibly all the other names currently in use on the running live system) to make things more friendly here. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.6 APT prefers stable-debug APT policy: (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-12-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages calamares depends on: ii kio 5.54.1-1 ii kpackagetool5 5.54.0-1 pn libatasmart4 <none> ii libblkid1 2.33.1-0.1 ii libboost-python1.67.0 1.67.0-13+deb10u1 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libkf5auth5 5.54.0-2 ii libkf5codecs5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5completion5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5configcore5 5.54.0-1+deb10u1 ii libkf5configgui5 5.54.0-1+deb10u1 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5jobwidgets5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5kiocore5 5.54.1-1 ii libkf5kiowidgets5 5.54.1-1 ii libkf5package5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5parts5 5.54.0-1 pn libkf5plasma5 <none> ii libkf5service-bin 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5service5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5sonnetui5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5textwidgets5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.54.0-1 ii libkf5xmlgui5 5.54.0-1 pn libkpmcore7 <none> ii libparted2 3.2-25 pn libpwquality1 <none> ii libpython3.7 3.7.3-2+deb10u2 pn libqt5concurrent5 <none> ii libqt5core5a 5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4 ii libqt5dbus5 5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4 ii libqt5gui5 5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4 ii libqt5network5 5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4 ii libqt5qml5 5.11.3-4 ii libqt5quick5 5.11.3-4 ii libqt5quickwidgets5 5.11.3-4 ii libqt5svg5 5.11.3-2 ii libqt5webkit5 5.212.0~alpha2-21 ii libqt5widgets5 5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4 ii libqt5xml5 5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 pn libyaml-cpp0.6 <none> ii os-prober 1.77 Versions of packages calamares recommends: ii btrfs-progs 4.20.1-2 ii squashfs-tools 1:4.3-12 calamares suggests no packages.
