[Bug 1761644] Re: Delete the password for the live session on all flavors

[Tim Lunn]

I have manually tested this editing initramfs and it seems to work.

[Test Case]
1. Login to a tty should not require you to press "enter" at the password: prompt (for blank password)
2. Under gnome-shell you should not be able to lock the screen with <super+L> or through the user menu

Title:
  Delete the password for the live session on all flavors

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Right now, only when gdm3 is installed is a systemd unit created to
  run passwd -d. This is preferable over having a blank password because
  it provides consistency between Desktop and flavors, and it makes it
  quicker to use a tty (and less confusing for people who get stuck
  thinking there's a password they don't know).
