Public bug reported:
Release version) This bug pertains to Lubuntu 25.04 on a live session.
However, it was also the case in the most recent previous Lubuntu
versions on live sessions.
What happens) On the initial screen where live users may "Select Your
Language" and "Internet Connection" and "Try Lubuntu" or "Install
Lubuntu", there's no way to password-protect the live session user (CLI
version is $ passwd lubuntu). This means that it's possible (arguably
even suggested) to connect to the internet without having first
password-protected the lubuntu user. Even attempting to do so by
dropping into terminal with CTRL+ALT+T fails: on this screen, CTRL+ALT+T
does nothing.
What I expect to happen) On the same startup screen, live users should
have an option to set their password prior to connecting to the internet
(or anything else). This could perhaps be accomplished through an
optional menu (akin to "Select Your Language", there could be a "Set
your password"), or permitting CTRL+ALT+T, or through some other
mechanism.
