Ubiquity not create user

[bradley51253]

I create my own distro for school computer and everything is good but ubiquity installer not create user :/

I try to edit casper.conf file and lightdm but it doesn't help me ;/

Maybe my live user is badly create or group/privilages is bad. After installation Live user not delete and new user from form in ubiquity not created.
When I run files from /usr/lib/ubiquity/user-setup/ nothing execute.

My code to create live users:



adduser liveuser
adduser liveuser sudo
adduser liveuser admin
sudo usermod -aG sudo liveuser
usermod -s /bin/bash liveuser
chmod 555 /etc/hostname
chmod 555 /etc/hosts
chown liveuser:liveuser -R /home/liveuser
echo "%liveuser ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers



And casper.conf file shows like:



USERNAME=liveuser
USERFULLNAME="Live session user"
HOST=live
BUILD_SYSTEM=Custom


Additionally: The line HOST=live must be equal file hostname?

Can you help me to repair ubiquity user create ?
Thanks :)

The live user should only be applicable when running from the LiveCD. Have you rebooted from the hard drive?

Are you using the OEM installation method?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview


System Restart
After rebooting the system you will automatically log in with the temporary oem user.

Configuration
Now you can install additional software, drivers or configure the system as desired. When you're done doing that click on the Prepare for shipping to end user icon on the desktop.This removes the oem user on next boot.

End User's First Boot

Once the computer was shipped to the end user and he finally boots for the first time he will be taken to the system setup wizard where he will be able to set his location, keyboard layout, user name etc.

Hello Bradley,

I am in your same situation, with my own Ubuntu Gnome remix, Xenial based (for the previous Trusty based, the user creation works fine, but here I've used only JLivecd..)

Now (for the Xenial remix) I left from an Ubuntu Gnome iso and I've edit it using Cubic (https://launchpad.net/cubic) and then using JLivecd (https://github.com/neurobin/JLIVECD)
and now all works fine except for the Ubiquity user creation process.

Using Cubic I've made as you a custom user and delete the old "ubuntu-gnome" user and using JLivecd added new software and manually customized initrd.lz

I've ask to the Cubic team for a suggestion, without any reply and many time for any other questions to AskUbuntu without never never any answer/help.
I've write to some Ubuntu Live developer (also on Ubuntu Gnome mailing list), without never any reply.

My previous release was based on Fedora and then I remember that there was a greater collaboration with the developers. Just with "Ubuntu environment" I'm noticing a strange omerta.



In conclusion I still don't know how to fix the Ubiquity user creation problem, but if you want we can exchange our emails and keep in touch for future mutual help, which you don't get easily, how to see ...

ciao!
