anaconda.log from the installation

Description of problem:
When no root password is set in Anaconda and only Administrator user with no password is created, gnome-initial-setup wants me to create a new user. User previously created in anaconda is locked.

Fix of this bug might be related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=964299

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 19.30-1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start F19 installation
2. Do not set root password
3. Create new user, check the "Administrator" box and uncheck "Require password..." box
4. After installation, gnome-initial-setup will tell you to create a new user.

Actual results:
User created by anaconda is locked.

Expected results:
The user should be usable.

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2013-05-30 09:44:54 UTC
Reproduced with F19 Beta Live x86_64. I instructed anaconda to create a password-less user account, but the account was locked instead and (therefore) gnome-initial-setup was executed on the first boot and forced me to create yet another user.

Proposing as a blocker. Our criteria are a bit lagging behind, but I think this depicts the spirit:
" After firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a graphical install must boot to a log in screen where it is possible to log in to a working desktop as the user created during firstboot. "
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Alpha_Release_Criteria

Replace "firstboot" with anaconda, since anaconda now can create users as well.

Discussed at 2013-05-30 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-30/f19final-blocker-review-1.1.2013-05-30-16.02.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per criterion cited in c#3: esp. on the KDE path you could wind up being unable to log in with this bug.
