In this case, the installer asks me for a username and password, but doesn't create the user either. -- User creating via preseed not working in 9.04 (32 bit) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
