Hi Israel,

I'm looking forward to the new iso file :-)

Best regards

Hi again Israel,

I tested a third time, this time similar to the first instance which
came to a black screen with a blinking cursor.

This must be related to the sudo issue (at least I hope)
And it worked. I thought that maybe it was a temporary glitch during
the first test, maybe I did something that is hard to remember and
reproduce. Anyway, this time it booted into a working desktop
environment.

It could have also been related to the advanced issue... considering
that you selected advanced, and then had to redo things...
Not sure....
So I tried again, this time not selecting login without password, but
arriving at the login screen in order to select user id and enter the
password. And it failed like the first test instance. So it seems that
the problem is with the login screen, the greeter or the log in manager.

I do hope this is related to permissions.  I have not seen this error at
all, in my testing.  So I am not sure how to reproduce
There was neither anything in /var/log/dmesg during the installation
nor during boot of the installed (failing) system. I hope the other
attached files are useful for you.

dmesg would have told me if your computer needed firmware blobs that
were not present.  And would have installed them as well, and
(hopefully) logged everything nicely... but since there were no errors
your hardware must have been supported nicely.... that or perhaps I add
them in incorrectly and it works too well
Best regards

I have indeed fixed the basic/advanced issue as well as the lack of info
in the grub-installer device chooser.  I will be rebuilding these
packages soon and rebuilding the ISO.  I did rebuild a much smaller ISO
recently (777MiB) but will rebuild one with the current OBI changes.  I
will test my currently rebuilt version to see if the sudo issue is present.

If everything is fixed, then perhaps this will be the best ISO yet :D
