Thanks for testing and reporting. We can't find all the bugs by ourselves.
The distribution name in the boot menu should automatically be Refracta if etc/issue contains "Refracta" or else it will default to lsb_release (Debian) or else it'll be whatever you type in when a text entry box pops up that says, "This is the distribution name that will appear in the boot menu
for the live image. If it's blank, the menu entries will just say
GNU/Linux (kernel-version)"
I see that default entry text is blank in that window, and it shouldn't be. There's a typo on line 550 of /usr/bin/refractasnapshot-gui. A space needs to be added between the last double-quote and the backslash at the end of the line. Change this:
- Code: Select all
\"GNU/Linux (kernel-version)\" "\
to this
- Code: Select all
\"GNU/Linux (kernel-version)\" " \
to fix it. If you don't want to do that, then type in a name when it asks.
Simple install does not give you the option to change user name, and I think it does not ask for new passwords. I haven't done a simple install in a long time. I'll have to run it and see what it does and if I have a problem with the creation of the swap file. Please check /var/log/refractainstaller_errors.log for any error messages.
The sudo question is handled better in code that dzz wrote, but it hasn't been incorporated into the installer yet.
There should be text in the password entry boxes to tell you if it wants a new root or new user password. I'll make sure that's clear in the next version. (I think maybe dzz's code already did that.)
