There are two scripts in
/usr/libexec/initial-setup/
initial-setup-graphical
Could someone in charge of the documentation make these two script visible in the documentation, please? To my knowledge these two scripts are not mentioned in Documentation | Qubes OS .
Yesterday, I did an experimental installation of QubesOS on a secondary computer and while booting into the new installation the initial-setup-graphical script was skipped or errored out quietly. More-luck-then-Google found me
You can start the post-installation wizard with sudo /usr/libexec/initial-setup/initial-setup-graphical .
See issue #5003 for a discussion of this problem.

### Qubes OS release
Qubes OS 4.2.0-rc4 (R4.2)
### Brief summary
We hav… e written a anaconda addin, therefore we need to touch the /.unconfigured file, to bring up the initial setup at the first start. Unfortunately the anaconda installer fails to start, with the following error:
```** (process:4836): WARNING **: 12:54:16.077: failed to load module nvdimm: libbd_nvdimm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

### Steps to reproduce
All the steps have been executed inside the ***dom0***
```bash
sudo touch /.unconfigured
sudo /usr/libexec/initial-setup/initial-setup-graphical
```
### Expected behavior
Anaconda installer gui boots up and shows all the components to configure
### Actual behavior
See supplied error message above.
### Important note
We removed our anaconda addin from the ```/usr/share/anaconda/addons```to ensure it is not caused by our own anaconda addon.
These steps were taken by me to complete the installation:
added /dev/mapper/luks to btrfs / --subvol --name=root in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg
sudo touch /.unconfiguredcommented out proxy.Register("anaconda") in /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/lib/network_secret_agent.py
sudo /usr/libexec/initial-setup/initial-setup-graphical
Thanks and greetings to @GWeck and @John222 .
