No initial-setup on Cinnamon RC10

[Giulio E.]

Hi folks.

I've just installed the RC10 of Cinnamon with qemu-kvm. I chose not to
add an user during installation. On the first boot however, initial
-setup didn't pop up at all.

I hope this is related only to qemu-kvm and doesn't affect release
blocking desktop but... Here's the scaring question:

Has anybody tried to configure an user via initial-setup with RC10?

Unfortunately I'm unable to perform further tests due to my working
timetable.

I've just tried it with RC10 in Workstation Live and it works, so
don't panic :-).

That's awesome :). Thank you, Jan, I'm feeling more relaxed now :).
By the way, I forgot to mention that this Live was the 32bit one.
In the meantime, I've also tried with Xfce (always 32bit) and the
textual[1] initial-setup popped up, as expected.
Have a nice day.

make the graphical interface start and sometimes show the textual one
instead.

Workstation actually uses an entirely different firstboot tool:
Workstation uses gnome-initial-setup. It is the only spin that does so.
Others either use initial-setup, or nothing.

However, I've tested initial-setup with KDE, several times. It's not
great - it *still* has the bug where it sometimes comes up in console
mode on graphical installs - but it does work. pwhalen will also have
tested it on ARM (where it's most vital that it works).

It's permissible for spins to not include a firstboot tool, but for
graphical ones it's probably a good idea to have it, to give people a
second chance to create a regular user account if they didn't during
install.

initial-setup is working on all ARM images[1] except for SoaS (that may have
been running on console but I haven't investigated further).

Hi,
if I understand this correctly:
"Has anybody
tried to configure an user via initial-setup with RC10?"

I always set up a user during installation, this I also did with RC10.
All ok.
Kind regards
