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?

[01:40] really need answer please [01:40] last thing not workng in my custom live cd [01:44] anyone here? [01:44] need help :( [01:44] I think you should start by reading doc/README in the ubiquity souece package [01:44] source [01:45] it doesn't answer your question directly but it will help you ask less confused questions :-) [01:45] 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] i know cj... not a newb but thx anyway [01:49] so it could be normal cjwatson? [01:49] reading the README [01:54] the original live CD user is intentionally not copied across; changing that would need modifications to ubiquity to explicitly copy it [01:54] (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] sounds like you accidentally booted back into the live session, to be honest [01:55] d on t know [01:55] i created user smolleyes for exemple [01:55] when gdm boot after install i use those login and it s say no smolleyes user... [01:56] /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/components/usersetup.py | /usr/lib/ubiquity/user-setup/ [01:57] need to change one of those scripts? [01:58] 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] strange [01:58] maybe proble is due to the fact i keep the original live cd user in /home [01:58] not gerenated [01:59] could be? [02:14] yes [02:14] don't do that - have it be generated at boot time [02:14] 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] ok cjwatson but why it do not import all files in /etc/skel on defualt live user??? [02:25] just part of it [02:25] so ugly icon no wallpaper no gnome config... but adduser works fine [02:26] smo:x:1000:1000:,,,:/home/smo:/bin/bash [02:26] I suspect you made a mistake somewhere - it does just use adduser (ultimately) [02:26] have it now for the default user [02:26] again, make sure that /etc/passwd doesn't have that user listed in it on your squashfs [02:27] so i remove the homedir and those line in /etc/apsswd right? [02:27] see if there's anything from user-setup or adduser in /var/log/casper.log too [02:27] yes [02:27] they don't belong in the squashfs [02:28] and home will be complete on "generation "? [02:28] sorry for my englsih and thx for the help cjwatson :) [02:28] all I can say is "it should be". :-) [02:29] ok i ll try so [02:30] deluser too?
