(Get the code!)
On booting the box back in LIVE mode, the home directory appears to be there (my data present, which is why I'd be using this type of install; my music & sample files are still there in my user directory)...
HOWEVER on viewing /etc/shadow & /etc/passwd I don't see any entry for 'guiverc' ???
To successfully login, I `apt install openssh-server vim` on the live system (running on dc7700), so I could `scp` copies of a 'guiverc' line for both SHADOW and PASSWD that had known contents in, and I was able to login...
ie. the problem appears to be NO SETUP of SHADOW/PASSWD for login..
I rebooted & was able to login this time :)
Alas, I now noticed my account wasn't in the sudoers file either...
guiverc@dc7700:~$ sudo /etc/passwd
[sudo] password for guiverc:
guiverc is not in the sudoers file.
Is there anything else?? Either way this is probably what has happened the 3 times I've tried this.
Anyway now that I login, excluding the inability to login & my not being in `sudoers`... all else appears correct.
The prior install included `audacious`, `figlet`, `fortune` & other selected apps, which appear to have been re-installed (what I wanted) correctly.. as far as I can tell anyway.
I wasn't able to view contents of `/var/log/
