Hi,

I've remastered, in the past, many times Ubuntu for needing specific needs,
this time I'd also like to change the default user, the host and make gdm automatically starts a WM.

I added the new user,
I modified the machine name and /etc/casper.conf
I edited /etc/skel/.dmrc for instructing gdm
and so on,

but when the machine boots it displays the WM for few seconds then it's forced to logout and it gives me the gdm login screen. I also tried using .xsession and .xinitrc but they are about startx commands and have nothing to do about gdm.

Another strange thing it's that user and host still remain the original and not that I've written as host and in casper.conf.

I've surfed for long time without findind anything,
so I hope anyone knows :-)


yours sincerely,

I am confused. Does remastering mean rebuilding the installation media, or setting up default logins?

Hi,



this is what I mean:
"Remastering is the process of customizing a software distribution for personal or "off-label" usage"
