https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445512 Summary: Changing User Settings unsets Root Password Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 5 Platform: 64bit OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jvc.potter@comcast.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Community User During installation, I defined a user and a separate root password. I then changed the user account and found that the root password was no longer set. During the initial installation, I defined the user "Test Account" with a username of "test1". I unchecked "use password for system administrator" and "auto login". On the next screen, I set the root password (to a different password.) When I got to the Installation Settings screen, the User Settings were listed as: User: Test Account (test1) Root Password: set I then clicked on the "User Settings" link and (eventually) was shown the user definition screen. I changed the username to "test" and continued without making any other changes. When I got back to the Installation Settings screen, the User Settings were: User: Test Account (test1) Root Password: not set Because I really DID want the root password to be set, I changed it with the "Root Password" link. After that, the Root Password changed back to "set" and I continued with the rest of the installation. (The user and root password were as I expected them to be when done.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
