#46 Install with no user account boots to login screen (not gnome-initial-setup)

Reopen Issue

One of the openQA tests we run involves installing with no user account and booting the installed system. We expect in this case that GNOME will boot to gnome-initial-setup , in the mode it runs in where no user accounts exist, that allows creation of one.

However, with the Workstation ostree image, this doesn't happen. The installed system boots straight to GDM, showing a 'Username:' prompt. I haven't tested if logging in as root works, but it's not a good idea in any case.

Has the expected behaviour on this path for Workstation OStree been considered? Should it run gnome-initial-setup, as the 'regular' images do - is it actually possible to create a user account at that point in an OStree install? If not, what should happen instead?

https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/182478 is an example of this happening.

Hum, never mind, this is actually affecting the regular live image too - probably not ostree-specific.

Random aside, I prefer use of the terms "traditional" and "atomic"/"ostree"/"rpm-ostree". ("regular" or "normal" for the former implies the latter is the converse)
