This is an interesting one. I have a computer I am building for a customer. For some strange reason, that is currently unknown to me, the 9.04 live cd would never boot. However 8.10 did, I installed 8.10, and upgraded to 9.04 directly after the installation of 8.10 was completed. I am used to under OEM mode, that it does not ask for a username/password, just goes to the desktop. Well after I upgraded to 9.04, it went to the asking for username and password. I can enter in the oem, and oem password, and get into the system. This is just a little strange to me. And I was wondering if anyone has an openion, or knowledge, My current theory is when I tell the machine, to prepare for shipping, that the next startup, it will not ask for a username and password, since it no longer has one on the system. Do you agree?
Also, something else interesting.
I happened to stop by the update manager, before it even checked for updates, it had in it's list, the cd burning software listed as needing an update. But the update was greyed out, It would never highlight, or let me select it to download the update. I have no other instance of 9.04 saying there are any updates as yet, since it is still very early in the release.
synaptic package manager, apt, and add/remove, programs work properly.
I would like to see if this can be resolved, if it is a problem, before I ship the computer.
