### (Solved) Live user setup

by vsido » Wed Jan 18, 2017 3:45 am

Greets and happy new year!
I am trying some new builds and sandlots and have started from ground zero for the first time in almost 5 years
New debian sid installs up to the point of successful builds and ISO creation
Problem is that no user seems to be getting setup at LiveCD login... and for the life of me I am forgetting (old age) the settings for the live-config to setup the live user name, password etc..
Help in jarring my memory please!
Thanks

Add 'user-setup' to the boot command. (I'm pretty sure but haven't tried it.) See 'man live-config' for more options. Note that if you add an option by itself, that option is added to the default options. If you add 'components=option1,option2...' then you only get the ones you name.

I have very little hair to begin with... and spent the last couple of days pulling the rest out
Then realized that you needed (not file) an application to setup users... user-setup
I installed that and everything fell into place.. Do you think that might need to be a requirement for the installer? Just curious
Thanks fsmithred

A file? There's a user-setup package. I've got it installed, but I've never used it. Refracta always has a preconfigured user.
Did you have to do more than just add 'user-setup' to the boot command?
Where do you put your default desktop configs?

Not a file.. an app
I did not have the application user-setup installed.. Once it was installed the setup of the user on the liveCD was done as expected
To answer your question, I do all default desktop configs from /etc/skel upon first login no matter if it the livdCD user (vsido) or your login after you have built VSIDO
When a new user is added/built /etc/skel is the default setup of that users /home
