I'm new to Linux.
My current goal is to build my own LiveCD of Ubuntu. Small size, tiny gui, controlled by vnc and/or ssh.
My workspace is a 12.04 full installation in Virtual Box.
As the "base" I try to use a copy of the "Ubuntu Mini Remix" (tried 13.10 and 12.04).
For remastering I tried the ubuntu-builder, the uck and Customizer.
(uck and Customizer (could) work great).
My problems is, no matter what tool I use, it ends up failing every time with the
same error. A screen filled with a lot of Authentication Failure
messages. Even when I only feed the iso to one of the programs and immediately recreate the iso.
I found out, that it maybe it has something to do with the dynamically created default user called ubuntu
, which the system uses as the user used to boot.
In the chroot environment I could not find the user in the passwd. I guess the generation process is defined in the casper.conf
.
I tried modifying the casper.conf
, but to no luck.
Why can't I just tell the system what user to use, when it boots?
Or why does the generating process of the default user called ubuntu
break,
if I touch the iso? (maybe it does work, but the authentication on boot dislikes the generated user.)
