I am running v5.1 cinnamon with >>>APPEND changes=/mnt/sdc/porteus/save.dat copy2ram login= <<<<
but it still boots directly to the main screen

What i am missing?

I want the system to ask for a user and a Password on login.

when i changed the default password of "guest" the system broke.. it shows now a blank screen and in the left bottom corner "S" and displays a general menu when selected.... no other option

completely broken

but it still boots directly to the main screen
until it will be fixed.......try this login=1 or any other character.

v5.1

try with nologin
looks like the docs omit this.

something to do with when we switched back lxdm, i think..

WHEN i login with guest(pw=guest) everthing works fine as i setup
BUT when i login with a new user (PW=strong) i get only a blank screen with a "S" in the lower right corner (Menu with all the options) but the exit and logoff greyed out, (can do it when hovering over it)
how can i send you screenshots?
