[Bug 1218170] Re: ubiquity: Set up other Online Accounts too

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

u1 can store some credentials, e.g. for remote logins from lightdm. But
I do not believe that applies to the typical online accounts (e.g.
social networks, etc)

Title:
  ubiquity: Set up other Online Accounts too

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While I do have a Ubuntu One account (obviously since it's also a
  Launchpad account), I have accounts at several of the Online Accounts
  services. It makes sense to allow me to set up those accounts too
  while I install Ubuntu.

  On the other hand, if Ubuntu One ever gets the magical ability to
  store credentials for other Online Accounts services and sync those,
  then maybe this proposed feature isn't needed.

  For a different implementation of the easy setup of Online Accounts,
  see GNOME's "Inital Setup" module. Unfortunately it hasn't yet been
  packaged for Debian or Ubuntu. It uses the traditional Fedora method
  of having the Anaconda installer only ask system-level questions for
  the install and waiting until first log in to ask the user questions.
  While I usually prefer Ubuntu's unified approach, GNOME's does allow
  for new user accounts to also get asked the Initial Setup questions.

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-initial-setup but it's probably
  easier to just run the latest Fedora live DVD.
