Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: migration-assistant
This is the actual real-world use case:
While trying to pitch Linux (Mint) to older users (50/60s) as a
replacement for an aging WinXP installation migration-assistant fails to
copy and create the selected accounts from the Windows XP install.
The Windows XP accounts are named: admin, dad, mom, sis ; each family member
having their own account and settings.
The resulting linux accounts should be similar, but renaming account names is
tolerable.
Using the Ubuntu-9.10-Daily-Live-CD (2009-10-16) and checking 'Dad',
'Mom' and 'Sis' accounts; the install completed but the desired result
did not occur.
Expected result: For each checked account a new user would be created and the
settings imported to make the logins match.
Actual result: All files and settings copied in to the single setup account.
** Affects: migration-assistant (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
--
Copies all accounts in to the single-initial account instead of copying
accounts to -new- accounts of the same name.
