just to make it even more clear : administration-user and groups starts but doesn't ask for password even when I add new users (I tried it right after logging in) -- edgy knot3 installs without asking for a username https://launchpad.net/bugs/60888 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 60888] Re: edgy knot3 installs without asking for a username
I suspect that in my case (commandline-only-installation with Edgy Beta) the whole user-adding step/question was skipped. A simple $ adduser username doesn't entirely solve it because : -there's no admin group. Maybe others are missing as well. (update-passwd saw no problems) -the first user needs to be added to several groups This is what I did to partially solve it : # sudo addgroup --system admin (does the gid matter?) # visudo (and I added admin and and my user) $ sudo users-admin (I added my user to the admin group, and I gave my user all privileges) I think I might need to add some other groups as well because : - alacarte doesn't show up in the menu - I can't start some things like : system-preferences-screensaver and administration-user and groups -- edgy knot3 installs without asking for a username https://launchpad.net/bugs/60888 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 60888] Re: edgy knot3 installs without asking for a username
I removed .ICEauthority and .Xauthority, logged out (ctrl-alt-backspace because log-out also didn't work) and logged back in. alacarte still doesn't show up in the menu but IMHO it might be unrelated. system-preferences-screensaver starts administration-user and groups starts but doesn't ask for password I'm just giving this information in case it's of any use. I haven't investigated further. I'm going to do a clean install once Edgy RC is out. -- edgy knot3 installs without asking for a username https://launchpad.net/bugs/60888 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

just to make it clear : after that removing .ICEauthority, .Xauthority and logging out and logging in again everything seems to work except that a password isn't asked when it normally should be asked (or sudo is remembering it too long or something). -- edgy knot3 installs without asking for a username https://launchpad.net/bugs/60888 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had a similar experience with the Edgy Beta alternate installer. I did the command-line-only installation. No normal user account was created. ** Attachment added: questions.dat http://librarian.launchpad.net/4827725/questions.dat -- edgy knot3 installs without asking for a username https://launchpad.net/bugs/60888 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
