Hi Vaclav,
Once you have worked things out, I suggest capturing information for
others as well.
Probably at least update or extend:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Virtual_Machine
And if you have a reliable process you are prepared to maintain long
term, then maybe update or create a new Quickstart:
http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html
These review pages might also be worth looking at:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Review
If you think they need updating then lets talk about it on this list.
Warm regards, Cameron

Hi Vaclav,
yes, /etc/skal is used but settings are specific to "user"

I'm not really familiar with the process, so just to be clear on what is
happening. /etc/skel is used (can be used) to create home for a user,
but
so far it contains all the user names hardcoded as 'user'?

We can probably fix many errors by having everything added under the
user dir also under /etc/skel. If a new user is created, it copies
that data.
For your setup: take care that user has sudo rights. I am not sure
this is what you want.
Kind Regards,
Johan

Hi Vaclav,
We have not tested this use case in the recent releases, so there
might
be
more than QGIS and GRASS.
It would be very useful to have a volunteer run all the quickstarts
using
a custom user
Well, I can ran it for few more desktop projects I'm interested
in, but
not
for all.
to confirm what is working.
Now we know that it doesn't work for QGIS and GRASS GIS. There is
hight
chance it will fail for anything PostgreSQL-related. My question
is what
to
do about it? Is the solution just to use user name 'user'?

Hi,
my university made OSGeo-Live available for students through
Apache VCL
(Virtual Computing Lab). It is customary that on Linux machines
you get
your user name, however the examples and defaults in OSGeo-Live are
expecting user name to be 'user'.
I have tried GRASS GIS where you have to change the grassdata
directory.
In
QGIS, you have to change the paths in the project when opening the
project
(the GUI allows you to edit them manually). I'm not sure what
else is
influenced. The browser's default page was not localhost.
Do you thing is it worth trying asking to change user name to
'user'?
Or,
from your experience, do you think that few broken project files
wouldn't
be such a problem when people follow tutorials? Or is is feasible to
change
the user name everywhere? Few sed commands would take care of QGIS
project
file and GRASS GIS defaults but I have no idea what else is there.
Thanks,
Vaclav
