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.

you mean v5.01

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?
