** Branch linked: lp:~mathieu-tl/debian-cd/kernel-cli-separator-trusty

** Changed in: debian-cd (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => In Progress

** Description changed:

+ WORKAROUND:
+ After hitting F4 and enabling OEM mode; also hit F6 and add a single dash (-) to the end of the command-line, to replace '--' with '---'.
+ 
+ ----
+ 
  On both 14.04.03 and 14.04.04 the OEM Install option doesn't start OEM
  install, but the standard install.
  
  Tested both versions on physical machine and on VM.
  
-  OEM install option under F4 does not launch a OEM install.
+  OEM install option under F4 does not launch a OEM install.
  
  Steps taken
  
  F4 at main menu
  
  No popup indicating OEM install or use of "oem" as username.
  
  The installer asks for a username to be set.
  
  Boots directly to tty login at first boot, oem username not accepted.
  
  Using username set in install to login and search for any of the oem-
  config files returns no results.

- The exact same process on 15.10 yields a working OEM install that will launch into end user setup on the following boot if oem-config-prepare is called.

  Posting it as a bug as multiple users on askubuntu are experiencing the
  same issue in addition to myself. Works as intended on 15.10 but not at
  all on 14.04.
