Description of problem: I re-installed f9 and re-used my existing home partition. When firstboot created the a new user and re-used the same home dir, it got confused with my (somewhat non-standard) home directory. It barfed when it could not change the owner of /home/user/.mozilla, which is a (broken) symlink. starck trace indicated line 152 of /usr/share/firstboot/modules/create_user.py, self.admin.addUser(userEnt). The user was created in /etc/passwd, but the corresponding group was not created, nor was the password set. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.97.1.fc9 How reproducible: i'm guessing always, only tried once... Steps to Reproduce: 1. create home partition, create broken symlink 2. install f9, re-use home for existing user 3. Actual results: firstboot hits and error and quits Expected results: firstboot logs error and continues running Additional info:
This will be fixed in the next build of firstboot.
