Overobuntu now hosted on Gitorious

I've been using git lately for local version control because my programming style doesn't seem to fit too well with subversion's folder structure. I tend to prefer a bit more free-flow.

So, seeing as how I've been using git for versioning anyhow, I've moved overobuntu over to gitorious. You can get your copy of overobuntu by issuing the following command in your terminal:

git clone git://gitorious.org/overobuntu/overobuntu_builder.git

This contains the latest version of Overobuntu, 0.91.1, which has some neat new features including:
* proper Partition backup
* Automatic card formatting
* Several bug fixes.

thank you for your post, they are extremelly usefull. Do remain in this last version the same login and password? ubuntu - temppwd ? thanks

Sure! I'm glad it works for you.

This version has the same username and password as the previous (Set by default). However, you can change the username and password by changing the O.S. settings (among other things).

I suppose a good writeup about how to use overobuntu would be helpful.

thanks again. I tried with the old login and password but it doesnt work: login: ubuntu pass: temppwd
I am using the root you post in glitourius.

Hey Daniel,

The default account and password are the following:

user: overobuntu
pass: temppwd

You can change the settings by going to the following:

O.S. Options->Change O.S. Image parameters

Here you can change many of the O.S. parameters, including the domain, username, password, default packages, and size (among others).

Alternately, you can invoke overobuntu from the command line with the following flags:

overobuntu -l main_user -p main_password

Check out overobuntu --help to see more information on the flags available.
