Login fails with
Login incorrect
on a system newly installed from the 1.0.1 ISO image — on only some
reinstalls. Maybe it was my fault, but maybe not, it is kind of
spooky. Can others reproduce?
The first time the password was correctly set to x in /etc/passwd and
in /etc/shadow the line looked normal. Maybe I made a typo when
setting up the password?
I tried to reproduce with a less sensitive password “y” for root and I
believe an empty user password or maybe “y” too; now I got no user
entry in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow but can log in as root.
This was the content of /etc/passwd:

Maybe I turned off my computer at the wrong time when booting into the
installed system? But the passwords get set up before the first boot,
don’t they? I reinstalled again since then. Now it works.

Florian

No. (I did many installs in VMs before the release… :-))
Note that you can check by doing an install in a VM using the attached
script.

So a password was set, as expected. Maybe you tried the wrong password,
or with the wrong keyboard layout?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

OK. I consider it likely that a typo was the reason for the wrong
password on the first install.
However, the second install had no normal user account, as you can see
in my /etc/shadow (which is attached again). It should not have been
possible to install without user account. Now that I think about it,
I believe when I got shown the user account creation page in the
installer, I accidentally immediately pressed some key (maybe Enter)
and it threw me back to the locale selection. I configured everything
again, but I believe this was the reason no user account was created.
I could now make the user account creation page crash again by
entering a wrong password confirmation, but after going through the
installer again, the resulting config contains a user and I can login.
I do not know how I managed to break this.

Thank you. For now I’ll try on real hardware though.

Could you file a bug specifically for this one if you managed to
reproduce it?

Well that’s even better. :-)
Should we consider this bug closed?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
