Re: Porteus-v3.2.2 bug reports here

^ This approach works: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=4632&p=33638#p33604 just disregard the first two points as they are not an option at this point.
Thanks Ed_P for the tip. Unfortunately their was no change to either of my issues. I've also discovered that the newly created USB key won't boot on my older home machine or a newer laptop. All I see is the first line that starts with SYSLINUX 4.06 & then it just sits there. I will ask for help on the forums & report back here if it is a bug.Ed_P wrote:^ This approach works: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=4632&p=33638#p33604 just disregard the first two points as they are not an option at this point.

That is what the login= cheatcode is designed to do.rchase wrote:"login=guest" takes me to the login screen
I've never used the login= cheatcode and I've always booted to the guest account without a prompt.-- is there any way to simply log users in as guest from the Porteus boot menu without requiring them to enter the credentials manually?
I edited my post; now the "login=guest" cheatcode takes me "to the guest account without a prompt" -- not "what the login= cheatcode is designed to do", according to you. By your reasoning, this behavior should be a bug; to mine, it is simply inconsistent behavior across boots that seems to have resolved itself into that I desired.Ed_P wrote:That is what the login= cheatcode is designed to do.rchase wrote:"login=guest" takes me to the login screen

Not a bug.
I already posted that in the above post... It's below "Here some ls from sda1 and sda2:"Ed_P wrote:^ What's the sda1 Boot folder look like?

No need; I just pointed out to you that your claim that use of "login=guest" is supposed to take users to the manual login screen is belied by the behavior of the OS, which (now) automatically signs me into the guest account when using "login=guest" and into the root account when I use "login=root".Ed_P wrote:Read the FAQ on what the login= cheatcode does.
