Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
LiveCD has a fantastic new feature allowing you to upgrade from the previous
version using the cd environment.
However, upon starting the upgrade it asks you for your name, computer name,
username and password, even though these should already be set because you are
just upgrading an existing installation.
Also, is this a security issue? i.e. If I have a computer running 10.10
and an unauthorised person decides to upgrade it to 11.04 without my
permission, they can do so simply by using a livecd. There should be a
check to ensure the user has administrator rights on the existing
installation (by entering their username and sudo password) before
allowing the upgrade to proceed.
