Upstream report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719458 . Filed downstream to propose as a Final freeze exception: this is obviously bad behaviour in an initial-setup utility which cannot be fixed with a post-release update. With Fedora 20 Final TC3 - https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/20-TC3/ - I've reproduced this three times in a row. Also happens with TC2. 1. Install, setting a root password but not creating a user account (DVD or live, doesn't matter) 2. Boot, go through gnome-initial-setup. I set my user account with name 'test', password 'test'. 3. At the online accounts step, configure an Owncloud account. Result: after entering the URL, username and password for the Owncloud account, I am prompted to enter a keyring password. mclasen tells me this is not expected behaviour (typically a user's keyring is locked with the user account's password, and I already set one of those in an earlier step). Also, if I set a password as it asks and complete g-i-s, when I'm logged into the desktop, the configured account doesn't work right: if I run Nautilus and click on the bookmark for the Owncloud account, it claims the credentials are invalid. If I go to the Control Center's 'Online Accounts' panel, I see 'Credentials have expired. Sign in to enable this account.'
After discussion on IRC we decided to just disable the GOA page in new user mode for F20. The page is still there and fully functional for first time logins on regular accounts.

what the hell? somehow I never actually proposed this as a freeze exception. proposing. can I get some votes so we can pull this into TC4?
+1 FE
+1 to FE from me
thanks folks, that's +3, setting accepted FE.
verified with gnome-initial-setup-3.10.1.1-4.fc20 - the online account step is indeed gone from the 'creating a new user account' path. sad we had to lose it :(
