Hi ! What about a 16.04 version of Peach OSI TV ? It will be one? You said in a comment that the TV version doesn't need a user and a password to login. In this case, how do you call this ? *****://justpaste.it/xtdf I'd say it is a log in screen. And no way to pass through. I tried some combinations (live, peachosi, empty fields, and so on), but no succes. I hope you'll clarify this. Thank you.

Yes there will be a Peach TV 16.04 version. As in our article (Read More), dated July 31st, 2016, Peach TV 16.04 will be released September 1st, 2016. We are hard at work getting both the 32bit and 64bit versions ready now.

As for a pre setup password on any of the Peach distros - we never set any password for any of our distros. The fact that your install is requesting one is usually an issue with how you burned the ISO to either a DVD or to USB, the downloaded ISO that you used, or with the hardware on your computer that you used to make the burn. You should always start by not only downloading the Peach ISO distro that you desire but downloading the md5 file "or" the SHA256 file and checking your ISO against those checksums to make absolutely sure that your download is error free. Most issues with Peach occur because this step was skipped. Then we suggest that you use Yumi Multiboot to burn the ISO to a USB drive. Yumi Multiboot is free and you can get a copy from here. This is a Windows program. If all else fails (the md5 or sha256 checkout correct and the burn went OK with Yumi Multiboot) and you still get a login request page while running live, you may be able to enter the Peach system with the username custom and with a blank field for the password. If you are able to get in with that username (custom (all lowercase)) and no password it definately proves that something was wrong with either the ISO that you have downloaded, the method in which you burned the ISO to disk or USB drive or the disk or USB drive itself is not reliable or you have a USB 3.0 card in your PC that is not reliable. Typically we see this issue burning the ISO via a 3.0 USB stick on a faulty USB 3.0 addon card in a computer. I.E. That is the only time that we've ever been able to duplicate this issue. For more on USB 3.0 issues go here.

I would like to point out that the Peach TV 14.04 version has been out 5 months now and it has been downloaded over 700 times. You are the first one to report this kind of an issue. As a matter of fact there have been no issues reported with Peach TV  14.04.

Thanks. I'll wait for Peach TV 16.04. As for the login issue I reported, the ISO for Peach TV 14.04 was downloaded three times, so I don't think it is about a error. And the screenshot was made from Virtual Box, but the login data request doesn't happened with none of the other versions I tried in the same virtual environment. All right, let's look to the future now.

All of our Peach TV distros - the one out now and the ones in the future, are hybrid distros and are not meant to work fully in a virtual environment. Displaying web based content requires all of the resources of your machine and the very purpose of a virtual machine is to use shared resources with another OS.
