[SOLVED] rootcopy permissions problem
Posted: 08 Jun 2011, 18:22
I have a customized live-cd of v09, x86.
The live-cd logs a "guest" user in by default. A VMware Workstation 7 module is included. I'm trying to copy a virtual machine into porteus/rootcopy with a directory structure of "/home/guest/vmware/'vmname' ".
I copy the virtual machine directory tree into porteus/rootcopy, and make the ISO via the .sh script. An ISO is produced, and I can attempt a boot from it. Booting seems to work properly, without any errors during the "copying content of rootcopy" or anything else.
The problem occurs when KDE is starting up, an error message is produced that states, "The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE: No write access to $HOME directory (/home/guest). KDE is unable to start."
with an "OK" button. Once pressed, another message states:
"Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation." with an "okay" button. After clicked, the cursor changes to the "thinking" two orbiting orbs, and stalls there.
I am copying everything into the porteus/rootcopy folder on an ubuntu system, and I tried changing the permissions of the files I was copying in to no avail.
Thanks in advance.
