Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: oem-config
I installed gutsy 20071016.1 i386 d-i in oem mode in English (with auto-
resize of another gutsy test install):
During the oem boot I:
* Fiddled a bit with the Software Sources to remove the CD entry
* Installed libadns1-bin using Synaptic
* Created a user called "guest" using System / Administration / Users and
Groups, in the most obvious way
Then I double-clicked on "prepare for shipping to end-user" which
appeared to work, and rebooted.
When I rebooted the usual "enter your details" dialogue appeared as
expected. I provided my language (Dutch), keyboard (British English)
and timezone (Language) and was asked for my name and username and
password.
When I confirmed my entering the password for the second time, the X
server died immediately (black screen) and I was presented with a gdm
prompt. The user and password I had provided during user firstboot did
not work (I didn't try the guest user). I rebooted into the other
install for forensics and found that the main admin user did not exist.
I am filing another bug about the fact that this problem was apparently
caused by the fact that I created a user during the OEM preparation
which I think ought to be supported.
This bug is about the fact that the oem firstboot program crashed
leaving me with an unuseable setup. When the oem firstboot fails it
ought to at least present the user with a useful error message and
preferably it should try to avoid getting into a situation where the
install is irrecoverably broken when it fails.
