[Bug 1803904] Re: User not created during 18.04.1 live installation

[Nick Zaccardi]

Hi Michael,

I am now noticing that the installer is indeed throw an error. I am not
sure if that was happening previously, I certainly didn't notice it in
any case. The attached log is from /var/log/curtin/install.log, will
that be helpful? cloud-init collect-logs says that the log file doesn't
exist.


Let me know if I can provide any additional information. I will not have access to this machine after today until next week because of my holiday travel in the US.

Best,
Nick

Title:
  User not created during 18.04.1 live installation

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  During installation of a new 18.04.1 (ubuntu-18.04.1-live-server-
  amd64.iso) the install would complete successfully, machine would
  reboot and I would not be able to login. After dropping into a root
  shell in recovery mode and looking at /etc/passwd, the user was not
  there.

  I also noticed that the host name was not being properly set to the
  assigned value during the install. Instead it was
  "localhost.localdomain".

  Moving to the alternate installer (ubuntu-18.04.1-server-amd64.iso)
  did not have this issue.
