(Get the code!)
I have 2 PCs, one with Ubuntu (with Myth frontend added, but not currently used) & one with Mythbuntu front & back ends, both currently at 9.04.
I plan to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 online in 2 weeks time, after my vacation.
In addition, I created live CDs for both Ubuntu & Mythbuntu, as I plan to set up systems on friend's PCs (plus in case I have a problem with my own systems).
Just to test that the CDs were OK, I started each of them, as live CDs, using my desktop PC (Ubuntu).
Ubuntu 9.10 went straight through to the desktop, with no sign-on request.
However, Mythbuntu 9.10 presented me with the sign-on screen (user ID, then password). I haven't been able to go past this stage, as I don't know what user ID & password it would be expecting.
I tried using my Ubuntu user ID & password, but that didn't work.
I then tried using "mythtv" as the user & the "standard" PW that seems to be the default in Myth "L7....", but that didn't work.
In any case, I would expect (being a naive end-user) that the live CD wouldn't know too much about the info on the Ubuntu system on the PC. So, is there a special user ID & password built into the live CD for Mythbuntu?
On reading the comments above, about it taking 2-10 repeated attempts to finally login, perhaps I haven't tried enough repeats. However, I still wonder which user ID & password Mythbuntu is expecting...
Any suggestions?
Regards, Garry.
