[Bug 1361595] [NEW] OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

With 14.04, I've found that oem-config no longer prompts end users for
their final configuration details.  In fact, the system reboots abruptly
and no longer has the oem user account.

>From the contents of /var/log/oem-config.log (below), it appears that
oem-config is throwing an unhandled exception, exceeding its maximum
retries (5), and then purging itself from the system.  I've reproduced
this with a fresh 14.04 OEM install.

This is definitely a regression from the 12.04 release.
