RANT: installing fedora is now a real punishment!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I wanted to install fedora 25 after my defeat to have an encrypted raid
install with fedora24 (system cannot shutdown and I filed a bug report
with all possible log files as explain in systemd, but up to now nobody
cares...)

Install of f25 was (almost) easy *but* I am unable to login! I created a
user with a password but when I want to login system claims that the
password is incorrect. OK maybe I made a mistake, so I try to login as
root from the console : password is incorrect too!

I try to rescue the system: it takes ages to accept the passphrase for
encrypted /home (why does the recue need to mount /home?????) After
that, I am unable to set a new root password: if I ask "chpasswd" the
answer is: "missing new password on line 1"  (of course I can see my new
password... but "missing new password..."

If I ask passwd, I have 1 second to type the password before falling
back to prompt... So I can't type anything!

WHAT A MESS!
