No, I don't think that's it. None of those changes is meant to preclude explicitly setting a root password. I think this is actually a bug in Rawhide since 20211215.n.0 . I did not investigate it in detail since I'm on PTO, my colleague Frantisek Zatloukal (CC'ed) is looking into it. We see the same problem with any login attempt on console after a minimal install; it works OK after a Server install. The Workstation live images also fail to boot, they just get stuck at the splash screen. We're not sure yet if it's two different problems. The most likely suspect seems to be: Package: authselect-1.3.0-3.fc36 Old package: authselect-1.2.4-2.fc36 So CCing pbrezina. It's notable that the bug doesn't happen on upgraded systems - there's a test that starts from a minimal install of F35 and upgrades to F36, and that test works OK. So I suspect the problem occurs when the installer tries to do initial authselect configuration of the installed system. That's about as far as we got up to the weekend. Frantisek has logs he could forward to pbrezina. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.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
