** Branch linked: lp:~mterry/unity8/set-real-name ** Description changed:
After going through the new wizard, the user's "RealName" setting is still "Ubuntu" (the default). - This is because usermod (used by AccountsService in the background) - chokes on read-only /etc. It needs to be modified to handle that - gracefully. - - If you have a writable device image, you won't see this bug, which is - how it escaped into the wild. :( + This is because: + A) unity8 incorrectly tries to set RealName (AccountsService makes you use SetRealName, not normal dbus property setters) + B) usermod (used by AccountsService in the background) chokes on read-only /etc. It needs to be modified to handle that gracefully.
