  • Ubuntu: Disable gnome-initial-setup Fixes #9628 "After completing the optional step 8.2b, rebooting the machine confusingly tries to walk you through the new user setup process even though local users have been created. The workaround for this on Ask Ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/a/1039368 is to modify /etc/gdm3/custom.conf ... Then one is presented with the typical login screen instead of always being asked to create a new user." It's been a while since I have tested an GUI install from scratch. I'm taking this report at face value until I have a chance to test again.

  • Ubuntu/Debian: Use a variable for the disk This simplifies a bunch of typing. This does more strongly encourage people to use /dev/disk/by-id naming, as e.g. ${DISK}-part1 does not work if $DISK is /dev/sda. This could be a considered a feature or a bug, depending on one's perspective.
