Hello,
Just began to install Lcnc on Lmint and after running the script successfully and using "Grub Customizer" to select the RTAI kernal, after a reboot, the system comes up to a logon screen and goes into a loop. Nice wallpaper but will except my password that I used all through the installation. Any suggestions on getting out of this loop?

Thanks in advance.

Is it actually asking for username in the first dialog box?

(Debian does this: "Login" means username, "Password", well, you can work that out)

Thanks for the quick response Andy!

Yes the first login box asks for your user name the the second asks for the pass word.

When you install LinuxMint if you check auto log in or something to that effect you don't need your password to log in.

Hey Guys!

Its a new year and I'm trying to figure this out. I'm not sure if it is critical or not. Being a newbie sucks!

I followed the readme posted by tjmarch to the letter multiple times, however I still haven't been able to get the menu to populate as demonstrated in other post-installs, posted to this thread. I have done about 10 clean installs without upgrading anything and this is still my outcome. I did not notice any errors or anything out of the ordinary.

Any help would be most appreciated! Let me know what I need to post to help with troubleshooting. I haven't been on Linux since 2006 and have forgotten most of what I knew.

Linux Mint 17.2 [MATE (32-bit) using 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae kernel

I have axis working in sim mode using RTAI for testing, but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong It seems that I have a permissions issue. I had to run as administrator for the first run.
