Thanks Arun,<br>I've followed your instructions and have now successfully created a new user=user, pass=pass. (I've called the VM cameron1 for the moment).<br><br>Tom,<br>How do you recommend we move forward if we wish to start from XUbuntu 9.10, instead of 9.04.<br>
<br>I can try to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, which should work, but I might not have a clean xubuntu 9.10 at the end.<br>Is it straight forward to create a new xubuntu 9.10 base image?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 3:07 AM, Arun Sharma <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:arun.s@tecnics.com">arun.s@tecnics.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello Cameron,<br>
<br>
I have attached modified common-password which can be placed under /etc/pam.d/ of vm.<br>
Once we place above file then we can create user "user" and set password.<br>
<br>
Here are the steps which we have followed.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
<br>
#useradd user<br>
<br>
#passwd user [Set the password as "user"]<br>
<br>
#usermod -u 499 user<br>
<br>
</div># su user<br>
<br>
Above command will create directory once we login using user "user".<br>
<br>
About ubuntu release version, yes for gisvm which we build earlier stage was ubuntu904 as per requirement.<br>
<br>
Please mail us if you find issues.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Arun sharma<br>

Tom,<br>
I'm afraid that I'm still stuck on the prior issue, and have another issue:<br>
<br>
I did try the steps below, but couldn't work out what lines I was<br>
supposed to comment out. (I did try a few different combinations).<br>
<br>
I'm able to create a new user "user" but it doesn't create a home<br>
directory at /home/user (as I'd expect). And I haven't been able to set<br>
the password.<br>
<br>
However,<br>
In debugging, I've realised that the Xubuntu image that has been set up<br>
is for version 9.04, and we are targeting 9.10.<br>
What is the process for creating a new Virtual Machine? Is this<br>
something that I can do?<br>
If you are creating a new image, can you please set the default<br>
user=user. (If you are using the normal Xubuntu LiveDVD installer, then<br>
you should be able to set the default user during the install process).<br>
<br>
I've started documenting our click2try livedvd build process at:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Build#Creating_a_Click2Try_Virtual_Machi" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Build#Creating_a_Click2Try_Virtual_Machi</a><br>
ne<br>
Feel free to update this wiki with the build process if you wish.<br>
