[05:04] <Nerdz> Hi
[05:06] <Nerdz> My problem is: When I try to install ubuntu, I select the Start/Install menu, then I see the ubuntu logo with a progress bar at the bottom. When the progress bar reach the end, I see a black screen and then, I see a orange/yellow screen and I only have my mouse. I have waited 10minutes to this window and still nothing. What can I do to solve this? Thanks
[01:39] <smo> hi all
[01:39] <smo> need help with ubiquity 2 things
[01:40] <smo> first does ubiquity create a $user variable for exemple and how can i use it ??? and during install i chosse new user and password but after install this user is not created still need to use the original live c user any idears on those 2 points?
[01:40] <smo> really need answer please
[01:40] <smo> last thing not workng in my custom live cd
[01:44] <smo> anyone here?
[01:44] <smo> need help :(
[01:44] <cjwatson> I think you should start by reading doc/README in the ubiquity souece package
[01:44] <cjwatson> source
[01:45] <cjwatson> it doesn't answer your question directly but it will help you ask less confused questions :-)
[01:45] <cjwatson> and also, five minutes is not a long enough period of time to start panicking and asking "anyone here?". Please don't do that. IRC takes a while.
[01:46] <smo> i know cj... not a newb but thx anyway
[01:49] <smo> so it could be normal cjwatson?
[01:49] <smo> reading the README
[01:54] <cjwatson> the original live CD user is intentionally not copied across; changing that would need modifications to ubiquity to explicitly copy it
[01:54] <cjwatson> (ubiquity copies the read-only squashfs, not the running live session, so it doesn't include the live CD user which is only created at live CD boot time)
[01:55] <cjwatson> sounds like you accidentally booted back into the live session, to be honest
[01:55] <smo> d on t know
[01:55] <smo> i created user smolleyes for exemple
[01:55] <smo> when gdm boot after install i use those login and it s say no smolleyes user...
[01:56] <smo> /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/components/usersetup.py |  /usr/lib/ubiquity/user-setup/
[01:57] <smo> need to change one of those scripts?
[01:58] <smo> i need to kepp my /home/user or casper not create the user right during live cd boot just add part of my /etc/skel adduser works fine copy all /etc/sskel
[01:58] <smo> strange
[01:58] <smo> maybe proble is due to the fact i keep the original live cd user in /home
[01:58] <smo> not gerenated
[01:59] <smo> could be?
[02:14] <cjwatson> yes
[02:14] <cjwatson> don't do that - have it be generated at boot time
[02:14] <cjwatson> and make sure /etc/passwd on the read-only filesystem doesn't have any non-system users (e.g. no uid 1000), otherwise user-setup won't bother creating a user
[02:25] <smo> ok cjwatson but why it do not import all files in /etc/skel on defualt live user???
[02:25] <smo> just part of it
[02:25] <smo> so ugly icon no wallpaper no gnome config... but adduser works fine
[02:26] <smo> smo:x:1000:1000:,,,:/home/smo:/bin/bash
[02:26] <cjwatson> I suspect you made a mistake somewhere - it does just use adduser (ultimately)
[02:26] <smo> have it now for the default user
[02:26] <cjwatson> again, make sure that /etc/passwd doesn't have that user listed in it on your squashfs
[02:27] <smo> so i remove the homedir and those line in /etc/apsswd right?
[02:27] <cjwatson> see if there's anything from user-setup or adduser in /var/log/casper.log too
[02:27] <cjwatson> yes
[02:27] <cjwatson> they don't belong in the squashfs
[02:28] <smo> and home will be complete on "generation "?
[02:28] <smo> sorry for my englsih and thx for the help cjwatson :)
[02:28] <cjwatson> all I can say is "it should be". :-)
[02:29] <smo> ok i ll try so
[02:30] <smo> deluser too?
[02:37] <cjwatson> deluser is not involved
