Gnome first-run user-creation (scenario 2)
Created attachment 1149636 [details]
gnome-control-center user-creation screen (screnario 3)
Gnome shell won't let me take a screenshot with the menu open. "jbloggs" is the third option in the dropdown menu though.
Anaconda and gnome-control-center are different programs that often have different ideas of how to do things. The gnome-control-center username generation algorithm is complicated (so we're not going to copy it) and unavailable as a library (so we can't use it even if we wanted to), and besides, both gnome-control-center and anaconda are generating valid usernames from the full name. So I don't see a problem. |
Created attachment 1149633 [details] Anaconda user-creation (scenario 1) Description of problem: If the user creates a user during the Anaconda installation the suggested username is of the form: {first_initial}{surname}. If the user instead decides to create a new user during first-run process, or through "Add/Remove users" in the gnome-control-center the suggested username is of the form: {first_name}{surname} Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 23.19.10-1 gnome-control-center 3.18.2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: # Scenario 1 (screenshot 1) 1. Download and run Fedora 23 installer 2. Create a user by typing "Joe Bloggs" as their full name -> suggested username is "jbloggs" Scenario 2 (screenshot 2) 1. Download and run Fedora 23 installer 2. *Don't* create a user during the Anaconda steps 3. Restart machine and follow first-start guide 4. Create a user by typing "Joe Bloggs" as their full name -> suggested username is "joebloggs" Scenario 3 (screenshot 3) 1. Open gnome-control-center 2. Create a user by typing "Joe Bloggs" as their full name -> suggested username is "joebloggs", there is a dropdown menu with 6 alternative suggestions for the Username too Actual results: See each of the scenarios Expected results: The default suggestion for the different ways of adding a user are consistent.
