Those are okay work-arounds (I didn't know about the systemd.debug-shell, have to see if I can remember that one), but the base problem remains: in the default root-locked config, boot errors stop and require a password that is not set (and systemd internalized the sulogin call so there's no way to override it with local config). That is bad user experience and should be fixed. I always thought the change to prompting for a root password for repair and single-user mode was odd, since the default boot loader config is not locked down to prevent going right around such a requirement. Either lock it all down or make it configurable. Part of my default system config was to change the sulogin call, until systemd took that option away. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
