FYI: don't install with username "qubes"...

[Eric Duncan]

...because after waiting nearly two hours to install onto a USB stick, you'll get an error at the very end stating the Python script had an error and installation has been halted.

Error message: can't create user. user already exists (something like that)

I actually went through three installations on two USB sticks until I dug in to see what the error was.

It would be nice if the installer stated not to use "qubes" as the username when creating a user (better yet, have validation that prevents going forward with that username). :)

That sounds like a bad bug, but one that can be remedied pretty easily.

I've created an issue in QubesOS/qubes-issues for this here:

Humm. Thanks, but a simple validation error would have sufficed. :)

I was wondering where to add bugs. I'll do i there from now on.

The repository I linked, https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues is a
good place to report usability bugs like this.

Thanks for making this issue known!
