Have created iso using SBS, worked flawlessly, now have two bootable iso's, one from cli sparkybackup -dist and one from the gui, choose backup option. Both boot from usb stick, no problem.
So far, excellent.
But, I can't get past the login screen. live live is rejected, so is my username and password and every other combination I can think of.
I have installed Custom Iso Builder and unpacked both iso's but cannot chroot into either. Terminator says "unable to find shell". /bin/bash is there in both.
The system I am working on is one I built up by installing Sparky CLI and then adding stuff so it is very likely my difficulties are caused by me not having installed something SBS and CIB expect to be there.
Sparkybackup.log below. Also terminal output while gui was running.
