[Bug 1067134] Re: when booting fresh install on i386 system, screen output shows evidence of buffer overwrites

[Kate Stewart]

One of the concern points on the top of the sequence was: 
 pwconv: failed to change the mode of /etc/passwd - to 0600

which from discussion with slangasek:
<slangasek> the guilty party is lupin -> user-setup -> shadowconfig (passwd)
<slangasek> which is wubi-specific
<slangasek> so a bug report against wubi + user-setup is probably the place to start

However this is not as significant compared to the other issues, but
should be cleaned up at some point.

<slangasek> the root issue is the lack of graphical boot splash
<slangasek> for which we need 'apport-collect -p plymouth 1067134' from the machine

apport-collect not cooperating right now.   Will post as soon as able
to.
