I have created an iso using Pinguy Builder and used both Startup Disk Creator and Etcher to create bootable usb external hard drive. No errors, boots ok, but cannot log in. My original Ubuntu installation that I used to create the iso displays my name, ie John Smith and just asks for password, it shows also as Guest Session. My user directory is john and in terminal mode it shows the prompt as john@john-HP-Notebook. If i type in whoami it tells me i am john.
I have tried all combinations using john, john@john-HP-Notebook, guest and am aware linux is case sensitive, I have also tried defaults like Ubuntu/blank, ubuntu/blank, ubuntu/ubuntu, Ubuntu/ubuntu - I can log in easily on the system from which the iso was created but cannot log in on the system created from the iso - lost for ideas - please help - thanks guys
It seems with Pinguy builder if you use dist option there is no user or pass required when you boot from usb / cd but if you use backup you have to enter the user/pass of the system from which the iso was created - however it does not actually match any combinations so you cannot log in to your backed up system - furthermore it then remembers these settings so after doing a backup dist systems also require user / pass of original system which seems to be a bug - if you create a new distribution you should not have to give your user / pass away to all users - but does not really matter as you cannot log in even with your user / pass so if anyone knows what pinguy builder backup uses as user pass that will be great so I can actually use my backed up system...... please help
