LiveCD Login issue

I can boot up Slitaz 4.0 core and a livecd created from the menu with no issues.  However, when I create a Customised LiveCD via tazlito commands I am not able to login. (http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:genlivecd)

The login screen defaults to the tux username.  The docs suggest to log in as tux|<enter> (no password) or use root|root, however neither works. This behavior exists for core and devel flavors.

Thanks!

Re: LiveCD Login issue

What is the command your using to generate the livecd that fails to login as either root or tux?

Re: LiveCD Login issue

I tried a number of different strategies, but the simplest 2 command example recommended by the above doc should reproduce my issue:

[c]tazlito get-flavor core[/c] # (don't make any modifications)

[c]tazlito gen-distro[/c]

Then I used the gui CD burning tool to burn the .iso under the /home/slitaz/<version>/distro directory. Perhaps I should try booting up on another computer...

Re: LiveCD Login issue

I've done the same thing as you but before these two commands

#rm -Rf /home/slitaz/*

#cd /home/slitaz

After that, it works.

Re: LiveCD Login issue

Nope, the login issue is still there.  It must be something simple...

Below are my steps/observations:

1) Start with Slitaz 4.0 core - verified md5 checksum

2) Boot up the above cd in LIVE mode, sudo to root in a terminal

-- (is this my issue? Do I need to install core to the hard drive first?)

3)  /home/slitaz does NOT exist, only /home/tux exists

4) mkdir /home/slitazcd

5) cd /home/slitaz

6) tazlito get-flavor core

7) tazlito gen-distro

8) Burn the iso in: /home/slitaz/4.0/distro

9) Boot up the above iso, hit enter twice for LiveCD/Enlish then the tux username is present at the slip login screen

10) Hit enter

11) Password fails, then enter root/root - that fails too...

Re: LiveCD Login issue

FWIW. I booted the new core cd on my Lenovo laptop and got the same result.

Re: LiveCD Login issue

FWIW. I created another iso via the Create liveCD Wizard from the menu.  This appears to be a gui version of the tazlito command process.  I selected core and built the iso without any packages or modifications.  The result was the same - I could not login...

Time for a workaround. 

Can I integrate autologin via echo "auto_login yes" >> /etc/slim.conf and save that via the tazlito command process so that it would boot just like Slitaz core 4.0 that does not have a login screen?  Entering a bootcode like "slitaz autologin" at the command prompt still displayed the slip login screen...
