Title:
Welcome wizard does not successfully set name
Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
After going through the new wizard, the user's "RealName" setting is
still "Ubuntu" (the default).
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. (If you have a
writable device image, you won't see this part)
