USB drive ubuntu netbook edition is asking for log in user

[thaidog]

I am trying to run ubuntu netbook edition on a usb drive and after it booted up it gives me a login screen asking for a user. I have no idea what to put in here... any ideas?

If this is just a live/install iso made with USB Startup Disk Creator, you shouldn't have to do anything. It should auto login as default user "ubuntu". If you have persistent data, you can create other users.

If it is a regular installation on USB, you should have remembered who you set up as user. And in that case I hope you put grub on mbr of USB (instead of default to mbr of main drive).

User is ubuntu with no password. Sometimes the live CD/USB will fail at auto login.
