When the live boots no longer had an issue, but it had remained on my installed system & I was unable to work out why; I just non-destructively re-installed the system as fix. FYI: This system is a single-partition install (plus ESP), being installed using a testcase that didn't create a separate /home. Xubuntu used `ubiquity` when I re-installed using daily 2023-08-29, ie. fix my issue & a QA install. Whilst I sometimes disable secure-boot (virtualbox is easier) the machine is still uEFI & I use it regularly there in QA too (mostly Xubuntu, with calamares). Personally I'd prefer the boot as 'non-ideal' as the passwd/sudo issue can be easily resolved & just documentation suggesting FORMAT is used. The loss of this re-install feature (something I've always loved about Ubuntu, and regularly use) would be a large loss, esp. on a LTS release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058638 Title: User account is missing from /etc/shadow & /etc/passwd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-provision/+bug/2058638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 2058638] Re: User account is missing from /etc/shadow & /etc/passwd
I did some testing Friday on this. While Ubiquity has a degree of support for this (I never saw it work on UEFI) others have pointed out to me that the Reinstall checkbox in Ubiquity was removed because it was flaky, and this is the vestiges of that. To move this forward I have requested to the ubuntu-desktop-provision team that the format checkbox be enforced. I'm am interested in adding preservation of /home and similar well-defined use cases in a future cycle. ** Changed in: subiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: subiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058638 Title: User account is missing from /etc/shadow & /etc/passwd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-provision/+bug/2058638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have zsync'd a Ubuntu Desktop ISO.. and attempted the same type of install there - Ubuntu Desktop noble ISO - booted ISO, (0320 or 0320.1 I'm unsure sorry; whatever was current at time I ran zsync) - installer offered upgrade; so I accepted that.. closed & restarted install - selected the same partition (partition layout created by full disk install of xubuntu noble week+ ago) for / WITHOUT FORMAT, clicked extra options where offered - used 'guiverc' as username, and 'please' as password.. install completed & asked me to reboot... all good as with Xubuntu. ON booting the new install... it appeared to go into OEM mode. I was ASKED for a Username, am being asked to enter PASSWORD THESE ARE DETAILS I GAVE THE INSTALLER. ** my opinion of what I'm seeing I"m not familiar with OEM installs sorry; haven't QA-installed it in years, but this is acting like a Xubuntu type of install issue where the Ubuntu Desktop boot has just triggered an OEM type of setup thus the repeat of question... Either way why have the installer ask me these questions if they're ignored on initial boot (if this is intentional behavior; which I very much doubt!!) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058638 Title: User account is missing from /etc/shadow & /etc/passwd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-provision/+bug/2058638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm suspecting subiquity might be a culpret here rather than the flutter frontend, so I'm bringing that in just to see if the team there (Dan in particular) might have an idea. ** Also affects: subiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058638 Title: User account is missing from /etc/shadow & /etc/passwd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-provision/+bug/2058638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
