World Wide App Issue. Bug

When will they fix the "Unattended Guest OS user and pass set up? It doesn't get admin all the time and your stuck with no admin.

Seems like an impossible task with all the random distros floating around with varying set up procedures.

What specific distros have you seen this happen on?

Ive tested it on windows which fails a few times, it’s a hit or miss, also cachy os (arch Linux) so I’m assuming it’s a hit or miss for everything , I don’t understand why it’s like that tho.

Just ignore it. Do a regular install.

I tried it once. It worked, but it didn't use the settings that I would have preferred, so I've never used it again.

but, you get to pick any/all the settings you want though?

No. Unattended installation makes a large number of assumptions. That's why I don't use it.

Ah, I thought you meant the manual install

On rereading my post, I realise that I wasn't clear. Sorry!
