Clonezilla Live on hd falls back to login prompt after error "No account with NOPASSWD sudo privilege was found!"

Hi all,

I'm using Clonezilla Live 2.3.2-22-amd64 and I'm trying to install it on hd of my laptop.
Since it boots from EFI, I managed to add a stanza in my ReFind Boot Manager configuration file, as already flawlessly done with OpenSuSe 13.2 and gParted Live.
I supposed it would be easy as it was with equally Debian-based gParted Live, but I was wrong.
Apparently everything works well in the booting process, the squashfs is loaded but I get the message:
"No account with NOPASSWD sudo privilege was found! Program terminated!"
before being left with a login prompt. Using default user "user/live" has no effect and I'm locked out of the system with no choice but reboot.
After reading Clonezilla forums, I already checked that boot parameters (live-config, user, etc) are set accordingly.
Also, I read this discussion and I suppose it has something to do with, even if I'm not running off the net. Actually, I expanded the squash filesystem and inspected /etc/ocs/ocs-live.conf to find cues. After that, I rebooted and noticed no messages about actual termination of ocs-live processes, hence my guessing.
I'm stuck and out of ideas.
Could someone please give me any hints?

Thanks and regards

I believe you hit another bug. Somehow the live-config was not correctly run.
Is this issue reproducible on different machine?
BTW, after you login "user" with password "live", please run:
cat /proc/cmdline
then post the results. Just want to make sure all the boot parameters.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately I'm unable to login with that user...

How about giving Clonezilla live 20150217-utopic or 20150217-vivid a try?
http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
They come with different mechanism and linux kernel, so the results might be different.
Please let us know the results.
Thanks.

Steven.

Steven,
I'll check and let you know.
Thanks for suggestion.
BTW, boot parameters (from refind.conf) are as follows:

boot=live live-config username=user noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_live_run=ocs-live-general ocs_live_extra_param= keyboard-layouts=it ocs_live_batch=no vga=788 ip= nosplash live-media-path=/boot/clonezilla/live-hd bootfrom=/dev/sda3 toram=filesystem.squashfs

Regards

Steven,
I tried to install 20150217-utopic on hd to no avail.
Boot params as above. I get the following messages:

Waiting for live-config to be finished... grep: /var/log/live/config.log: No such file or directory (loops over this forever)

Any hints?

Did you try Clonezilla live 201502*-vivid? Not the utopic one. Maybe the one with newer Linux kernel has different results.
