LiveUSB login problem
  • talsitalsi March 2011



    Hi,

    First of all sorry for newbie question, but I am new to the linux.

    I was hoping to make system for back-up and recovery with SliTaz (30mb for complete system is sooo cool) from my old pendrive, with the ability to save my setting. So, I have burned ISO image, booted it and with Tazusb I have make USB bootable drive - as described in documentation. But, after booting, error message “Failed to execute login command” pops up and it takes me to login screen. Now, I can not log-in as user “tux”, I can log-in as root, but then the desktop is back, with no icons or wallpaper, and my setting is not saved :-(

    So I thought I create new user, but when I try to log in, there is the same error as above.

    Anyone knows how to make it work? I have tried both stable and cooking versions, but with no success.

    Also, every time I log out, the screen is switching between 800x600 and my monitor’s native resolution...... can’t figure why.

    I do not use tazusb much but I seem to remember that it is sensitive to format so you could check that you created a partition and you might want to try the best format (is it ext3?) and check that you set /home correctly.

    Some people reported that writing lzma was broken but gzip worked.

Howdy, Stranger!
