Title:
  User not created during 18.04.1 live installation

Bug description:
  During installation of a new 18.04.1 (ubuntu-18.04.1-live-server-
  amd64.iso) the install would complete successfully, machine would
  reboot and I would not be able to login. After dropping into a root
  shell in recovery mode and looking at /etc/passwd, the user was not
  there.

  I also noticed that the host name was not being properly set to the
  assigned value during the install. Instead it was
  "localhost.localdomain".

  Moving to the alternate installer (ubuntu-18.04.1-server-amd64.iso)
  did not have this issue.
