Hi all,
I created an xubuntu 9.10 live usb by doing the following:
1) rsync mounted livecd image to empty /media/ubuntu
2) install grub to usb stick
3) create ext2 partition named casper-rw on usb-stick.
So now I have a live usb with persistance and more than 4GB of space for persistant data.
I created a new user, j, and disabled autologin by modifying the
15autologin file and creating a new initrd.lz file.
All is well so far, but then I wanted to have a user with an encrypted home directory. So as root I use
Code:
adduser --encrypt-home joe
and set my password etc. All should be well I would think. Doing su joe as root logs me in properly and mounts my encrypted home directory no problem. However, I cannot use the xfce graphical login as joe.
logging in as joe causes the screen to flicker a few times and then come back to the login manager.
In the file /var/log/gdm/:0-slave.log.1 I see
Code:
gdm-session-worker[5204]: pam_sm_authenticate: Called
gdm-session-worker[5204]: pam_sm_authenticate: username = [joe]
gdm-session-worker[5204]: pam_unix(gdm:session): session opened for user joe by
(uid=0)
gdm-session-worker[5204]: pam_ck_connector(gdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PA
M_TTY :0
gdm-session-worker[5204]: pam_unix(gdm:session): session closed for user joe
xsplash: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
I've tried a bit of googling to no avail. Anyone know what I should be looking for, or any other log files to look in?
