Hi,
I add this cheatcode to script, but when I type the command: whoami. I still get the guest.
How to enable the auto root login?
Thanks

You shouldn't need a 'script' to do this - it's simply added to the porteus.cfg file located in /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg.
Mine looks like this for the GUI option i use: (Note the APPEND line)
Code: Select all
LABEL KDE4
MENU LABEL Graphics mode (KDE4)
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz changes=/mnt/sda1/porteussave.dat volume=60% kmap=gb copy2ram noeject login=root
TEXT HELP
Run Porteus the best way we can.
Try to autoconfigure graphics
card and use the maximum
allowed resolution

Add the "login=root" to this or whichever mode you boot into and voila, root access on startup.
