> However, users of Ubuntu on any other platform will find Ubuntu *harder* to use on vagrant after your change. Since vagrant users do not make up a majority of Ubuntu users, there is thus more value in Ubuntu acting the same across platforms than there is in Ubuntu changing its behavior to fit vagrant
Sounds like some religious b#@*S%^t or a f#%@*&g vendor lock. We use Ubuntu for development, testing and production. It's great, but not unique. We could use let's say Debian instead as well. I didn't even know/care about the ubuntu user until faced this issue. What is that extremely common and massive use case that requires a user with an OS specific name? I need root user to create other users I need. E. g. some internal users to perform tasks like www-data to run my web server and application code or automation user with extended privileges to perform software/configuration updates, and real user accounts for team members. And I need an abstract user for local development and vagrant is there for me in every project I work on, not depending on any particular OS. And if there's one box of a million that doesn't respect that, I don't care. But when it's one of the major vendors out there, it should be ashamed because it's wasting time, traffic and nerves of it's users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569237 Title: vagrant xenial box is not provided with vagrant/vagrant username and password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1569237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
