[Bug 2142391] Re: Attempting to create a user named root fails on 24.04.4

[Olivier Gayot]

I've checked our two UI (the TUI and the flutter UI of ubuntu-desktop-
bootstrap) and they both reject root as the username.

So I think this is a scenario where autoinstall was being too
permissive.

Title:
  Attempting to create a user named root fails on 24.04.4

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  We used ansible to deploy Ubuntu 24.04.4 Desktop&Server automatically.
  During installation, we encountered the dialog, please refer to
  attached deploy_vm.png. And the log files under /var/log/installer are
  attached. Could you please help check it? Before this version, it
  always worked well. BTW, configs for this vm are as below: NVME disk,
  VMXNET3 network and EFI firmware. In fact, auto installation failed
  for all configs.

  Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
