This will probably require coordination with the Anaconda folks,
as their first-boot environment will check whether the user or root
was created during installation and prompt for it there if not. I'm
not certain which will occur first, Anaconda's first-boot or
GNOME's, but that will need to be worked out together.
I don't think we should hide the root user creation from there,
only the normal user creation.
I agree; I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
The root user creation is useful for recovery in case everything
goes wrong, and as such I think we should label it as Recovery
(root) Password or something similar, and have a little explanation
text about what it is, so that users won't just write some
gibberish there and dismiss it but understand that it's like a
"master key" for their computer and they should remember it or
write it down in a safe place in case they need it for error
recovery.
That's a good idea.
Alternatively (since root might be a concept too complicated to
explain) we could skip root user creation too and coordinate it
with the Anaconda people so for Workstation this user will be
passwordless and inaccessible by default (users created by gnome's
initial-setup have sudo rights anyway). Can we do that, or is it
something we'd need FESCO / Base WG / Someone else approval for?
I'd advise against this (personally) for most of the reasons above;
that you won't have a recovery path such as single-user mode.
What I meant was just that hiding the user-creation from Anaconda is
more complicated than just suppressing that UX element because it will
come up again post-install unless somehow coordinated.
