Custom-Spin doesnt boot to GUI when /etc/skel is changed
Heyas
So i have my custom Fedora with AwesomeWM spin with alots of customizations using the kickstart method for a liveimage.
A few weeks (2-3 months) ago, i've done some changes i cannot remember.
Those changes made the image from bootable to gui, to not booting to gui any more.
Just figured that out about 2 weeks ago, and after i spent 8 hours today (about 14-16 builds), i could pintpoint the bad to a script that is executed within %post section.
However, to me its a deadend, as i really dont understand how that could be the cause, however, when that script is started, the image wont boot to gui, and if its not executed, i'm missing all my customizations.
My system is Fedora 20 : 3.16.2-201.fc20.x86_64
This one is just to be complete:
This one is what i've pinpointed after 8 hrs of trial and error builds: post-skel.sh
This is how it looks (note i've removed the pwd & ls commands above for better readability):
I've checked the file permissions with my host system, and they look the same..
I am aware of the 3 command errors, but they dont seem to have any effect on the no-gui-issue, because either with them - but unused post-skel.sh - i CAN (just did last build) boot to GUI within the VM.
Please understand, that for useradd, chown and restorecon, i've just added their folders like 4 builds ago as they were not found without, nor are with it (fixing the typo now).
Any ideas why the change of the /etc/skel results in an image that doesnt boot to GUI?
Thank you in advance
Simon

In Unix, is there any way in which I can create a GUI like Realplayer? I mean the Windows Look & Feel.
