Trisquel Live asks for login and password

Description

I've downloaded Trisquel 5.0 (Trisquel i18n). Checked md5sum. All it's ok. Created LiveUSB (with help of MultiSystem). The program confirmed that LiveUSB was created successfully. But when I try to boot Trisquel, the system asks me for login and password. What I should write?

The same result with Virtual Box (see enclosed file).

Thanks in advance.

I don't know MultiSystem,but have you tried to create the usb disk using the usb-creator-gtk tool included in trisquel?

You can find it in System -> Administration -> Startup Disk Creator.

Actually, no. I will try to use usb-creator-gtk in Ubuntu as I'm working in the system now.

UPDATED.
I've tried, but with the same result - I was asked for login and password.

Maybe information about my laptop could give a clue what to do:

Aklis, I've noticed a note "needs more info", could you please specify what information I should provide?

Sat, 12/10/2011 - 14:46

The status change was before the try with usb-creator, now i think we got all the info.

Just one thing more, are you using 32 or 64 bits version?

Sat, 12/10/2011 - 17:23

On my laptop I have Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit), and Trisquel, which I tried to test, is Trisquel 5.0 (1,5Gb DVD iso image, 32 bit).

The missing firmware is not unusual depending on your hardware. Try this, reboot from the live media and wait until you get to the login part. Then hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to virtual terminal 1 and then punch in

cd Desktop

(note the capital D) followed by

cp /var/log/syslog .

(do not overlook the tailing dot)

Then enter the command

sudo service gdm restart

Once the GUI fires up, please attach the syslog on your desktop to this bug, it might help us figure out what's wrong.

(In the future you only need to use the last command to get to the GUI.)

Thank you, for the help. I did invest some time so progress is welcome, perhaps the bug report is also welcome so new users have an easier time.

I hope the attached file helps. I did start with an older lap-top HP-nx9420 before installing and moving on to the desk-top.

note: No Problem booting from LiveUSB
Followed http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-create-liveusb
Problem only booting from DVD.

P.S. not sure who updates status RESOLVED
