Cannot complete first boot wizard

[Alex Ling]

What happened?

I used image https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/26.2.0-trunk.606/Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.606_Ayn-odin2_noble_current_6.18.19_gnome_desktop.img.xz and I found the device cannot boot into desktop. It stuck in the first boot wizard after message "Please use this account for your daily work from now on."

How to reproduce?

Download image from https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/26.2.0-trunk.606/Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.606_Ayn-odin2_noble_current_6.18.19_gnome_desktop.img.xz

Flash it to TF card using Armbian Imager

Insert the TF card to Odin2 device and power on

Wait for it to boot to desktop

Observation:
It stuck in the first boot wizard after message "Please use this account for your daily work from now on."

I tried to build a image from the current main branch (kernel: 6.18.20) and I found the problem is the same. I changed KERNELBRANCH to "tag:v6.18.18" from "branch:linux-6.18.y" and rebuild. It can boot to desktop as expected. It seems some change in the 6.18.19 kernel causes the problem
