The install did not ask me for a user name. I installed in text mode and the only thing i did was switch the packages (I unmarked gnome and installed KDE instead)

Please help! :confused:

login as root and try to set up new users with the command

adduser

I guess it is a bug that you should submit to the developers.

I didn't have that problem with GUI installing. It did ask me for a user account and all that so I guess it's a bug in text mode then...

Much of the account password stuff (not sure how much, haven't tried yet) has been moved to firstboot.

So either it's assumed you want to be helped creating a user and use firstboot, or you are booting into text and know about useradd.
