The followings are the test plans for testing gnome-initial-setup.

First Boot Initialization

This test case is intended for OEM or pre-bootstrapped image such as Raspberry Pi image, where the account setup is after the installation.

Prepare and launch

Do not use a production system to run this test! To test this behavior, we need a system that has no user account created, that means all users needs to be deleted for the test.

To delete current user, first we have to set up password for root:

sudo passwd

Then log out current user, switch to text terminal by Ctrl-Alt-F3, login as root, then:

deluser --remove-home [username]
systemctl reboot

If deluser failed, ensure the user is not logged in, wait and try again.

• A page with Ubuntu logo on top, a rotating Welcome and its translations below the logo, a search bar for the locales, and list of common languages on the bottom should be shown, and an option of vertical ellipsis (⋮) on the bottom, which can be expanded to more available languages.

• Click on the locale to switch between languages, and the language for the Next button should change. Try it for a couple more times to see whether it would crash.

• If there is a locale-bound EULA file available at /usr/share/desktop-provision/eula/EULA_[locale].pdf, a localized EULA page should be displayed.

• If the above is not available, but there is a file /usr/share/desktop-provision/eula/EULA.pdf, there will be a EULA page displayed.
