Description Ben Bucksch 2008-10-29 14:34:10 UTC

Reproduction:
1. Start with KDE LiveCD
2. Install
3. In installer, set up user "fred"
4. Boot into installed system

Actual result:
1. Graphical system (xdm/kdm) logs into user account "linux" (no prompt for username), which is the one used for the LiveCD.
2. /etc/passwd has both "fred" and "linux".

Expected result:
1. Log into user account "fred" (or rather show as default in login prompt), which I set up during install.
2. User "linux" does not exist in installed system, /etc/passwd has only "fred", not "linux".

Filed bug 439876 for that.

Caused by bug 432732 - installer didn't finish.
