[opensuse-factory] interrupted install without root pass
Hello Trying to install alpha in the VirtualBox VM, I tested the "minimal grafical" I was asked for cd #(more than &) and did not give it (I haven't already dl them). This led me to the usual root screen, without having defined the root passwd. But the usual workaround don't work :-( starting the rescue, mounting /, chrooting to / and launching "passwd" led me to an error because of a bluefish (not sure of the word) /dev/random unavailable any idéa? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

"blowfish", not "bluefish" :) It is an encryption algorithm In the past few releases, you can't just do a chroot from the rescue system. You have to (assuming the root partition is mounted on /mnt) mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys mount -o bind /dev /proc/dev then you can do the chroot --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

ok. I needed some thought to understand (didn't know the bind option) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
