Description Adam Williamson 2014-07-04 23:56:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
Happens reliably on first attempt to create a user account after fresh install of Rawhide (f21). g-i-s crashes and vanishes, you are left with a desktop background and nothing else and have to reboot. Second attempt - g-i-s runs again after a reboot, and asks all questions again - always succeeds.

Version-Release number of selected component:
gnome-initial-setup-3.12.1-2.fc21

Proposing as an Alpha blocker, criterion https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Expected_installed_system_boot_behavior - " A working mechanism to create a user account must be clearly presented during installation and/or first boot of the installed system.
A system installed with a release-blocking desktop must boot to a log in screen where it is possible to log in to a working desktop using a user account created during installation or a 'first boot' utility. "

You can work around this, I think, by creating a user account during installation, but if you *don't* do that, you'll always run into this bug. It's not quite clear cut, but worth considering, I believe (and we really ought to get it fixed).

Discussed at the 2014-07-09 Fedora 21 alpha blocker review meeting. Accepted as a blocker for Fedora 21 alpha due to violation of the following alpha release criteria [1]:

A system installed with a release-blocking desktop must boot to a log in screen where it is possible to log in to a working desktop using a user account created during installation or a 'first boot' utility.

this still happens with the 2014-07-17 nightly workstation image, FWIW.
Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2014-07-23 16:58:03 UTC 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733555 is probably the same issue.
Comment 16 Adam Williamson 2014-07-25 00:45:17 UTC 
the fix mclasen applied and built in Fedora as gnome-initial-setup-3.12.1-3.fc21 appears to fix my case, I forced it into an install via chroot before booting it for the first time, and g-i-s completed straight through without crashing after the username screen, first time I've seen it do that since the bug started happening. thanks.

the build's tagged for f21 and i believe should get inherited by rawhide (though I think it'd be better to do an explicit build for rawhide), so closing.
