Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debian-installer
I'm installting Ubuntu 7.10 with preseed over network. >From >https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html: "The passwd/root-password-crypted and passwd/user-password-crypted variables can also be preseeded with “!” as their value. In that case, the corresponding account is disabled." I think this should be true for 7.10 too. (The installation document doesn't seem to exist for 7.10) relevant part of my preseed.cfg: d-i passwd/make-user boolean false d-i passwd/root-login boolean true d-i passwd/root-password-crypted password ! So, the root password should be disabled (e.g. set to !). But it does not work: The Ubuntu/Debian Installer interrupts the automatic installation and asks me for a root passwort interactively instead of disabling the root account. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- preseed installation: root-password-crypted ! doesn't work as intened https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
