suse 9.3 cant login!!!!!
Hi i have this strange as well as serious problem.. In suse 9.3 cant login as root (or any other user) from console (alt+f1-f6) the login works fine in kde (konsole for example)
In the default console i write the user name and then the password and then the console frosts there without replying sth like wrong password ..... Any suggestion? |
Do you have any strange settings in /etc/profile.local? Maybe the console settings are messed up.
Other files that I could imagine are: /etc/login.defs /etc/inittab /etc/permissions /etc/bash.bashrc Sorry, this is a little vague. |
thx
thx... but the problem existed from the clean installation of suse 9.3...
I cant understand why i can login from konsole (kdes terminl) and not from the original console |
su to root, and edit the following file:
/etc/securetty It might look like this: Code:
# Code:
# What you need to do is modify the file by uncommenting each tty and/or virtual console on which you wish to enable root logins. If you want it enabled on every one make the file look like this: Code:
# (edit) For more info: man securetty man login Enjoy! |
What I love about this forum is that I can always learn something :)
I hope the above hints will help. I just find it a little strange that a clean install comes with such restrictive settings. Another idea that came to my mind was about you console keyboard layout. Maybe your password looks different when entered on console. But then it should give you at least a message 'wrong password'. Very puzzling! |
You have to go to kde to activate the root which is set as hidden.
then logout and you should have the option of root. When in the root you'll need to go to kde- look and feel -behaviour/panels/screensaver/wallpaper/ and reset all the desktop ikons, toolbars, mouse clicks window pages background and especially the screensaver which has been set to one minute and password. :Pengy: :Pengy: :Pengy: |
