Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.1 USB Issue

[Jayelz]

Hi, first post so please be nice.

My main machine is FUBAR at the moment and all I have to console myself is my work laptop which I obviously don’t want to screw around with and is pretty locked down anyway. I have installed Ubuntu Netbook 9.1 Remix to a 1GB USB using ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso file.

This works a treat but is not persistent so........I have then used the USB Start Up Creator program within 9.1 using another 1GB USB flash drive and set the persistence parameters to what I want and created another boot disk.

Again this seems to work a treat, it loads flawlessly but I have hit a major stumbling block as it is asking me for login credentials although at no point when creating the image does it ask for me to set users up. Is there a default I am unaware of? I have tried the following Usernames with the same/blank passwords, Ubuntu, Root, User, Username and am getting nowhere. I do not understand why the non-persistent version I created logs in automatically and yet using the same image with persistence I need a user/pass?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The default username should be ubuntu, lower case, no password.

Any idea why this is required with persistant image yet not with non-persistent?

No idea. Could be a bug with the 9.10 image. You might try a more recent release. 9.10 reaches end of life April 2011 anyway.
