I am trying to use a live Ubuntu DVD (ubuntu 8.04 Sixpack) and after
choosing the language and "Try Ubuntu without any change to your
computer", I eventually get a request for a "User ID" and a "Password".
My machine is a multiboot with XP, Ubuntu Studio 7.10, Ubuntu Graphics
and Fedora 8. With a Live DVD, should I even be getting a request for a
User ID and Password? If so, then what might they be? I have tried
everything but to no avail. Is the installation DVD seeing something
that it interprets as me already having the above? I have used other
live CDs including Knoppix and Kubuntu and they don't ask for a an ID or
Password.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? If so, I certainly
could use some help with this.
I have tried the Ubuntu 8.04 Sixpack, Ubuntu 8.04 double sided DVD for
both 32 and 64 bit, the "official" Ubuntu 8.04 CD and downloaded a
Ubuntu 8.04 iso file, all with the same results of asking for a User ID
and a Password.
Thanks for your help,
Jerry

These were commercial CDs and DVDs. I had better luck with the ISO that
I burned, but it still would not work. If this is a common problem, is
it a problem with burned CDs or commercial CDs?

ive never personally used a commercial cd, so cant say. but, I would
try burning at the lowest speed available by k3b or whatever it is your
using. what are you using to burn anyway?

Please Jerry tell us what you see on the screen when you start up
the DVD. Is it at start you run into a password or is it later? My
experience is with the LiveCD for Harty and it worked with zero issues.
Where you got passwords on the DVD is a mystery.

Have you tried the username ubuntu, with a blank password? I think
that's the default one for the Live CD

The first thing I see is the selection of language. Then I chose "Try
Ubuntu without any change to your computer". It was only at the end
that I was presented with a user id and password. The user id screen
said, "User ubuntu will be logged in in 10 seconds". If I let it run
its course, I would be presented with a screen with 2 folders (examples
and install) in the upper left hand corner. There were no panels
present. If I chose one of the folder, I was again presented with the
user id screen.
Go figure!

Kevin,
I did try ubuntu but it did not work. If I left it blank and let it log
in by itself after 10 seconds, I would get a screen with the Hardy
Heron logo but no panels.

None of this makes any sense... I'm not implying that you are wrong,
just that it doesn't make any sense for any of the CD's or DVD to ask
for a userid and password unless of course you are installing from and
then they ask as part of setting up a new user. This is your's correct?
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/39033
<quote>
During the setup process it asks for a User ID and a Password
</quote>
Where _exactly_ are you being asked for the UID and password? During the
installation? If so, that is normal; you need to give Ubuntu a user name
and password for the user that you are setting Ubuntu up for during the
installation process. There is no _preset_ username and password, you
are telling Ubuntu "I want to set up this user with this password".
Perhaps these will help:
