Boot messages indicating missing users "sddm", "polkitd" and several others.

Bug is actually rather interesting. Following happens 1. Live system has most users in its /etc/passwd. 2. Scripts used by various system-user-* packages basically do getent user || useradd user 3. During installation /run from Live system is bind-mounted on target /mnt/run (where /mnt is root of system being installed). This makes nscd socket available to scripts run by rpm which are chrooted to /mnt. 4. So during installation getent contacts nscd *in Live system*, and gets positive answer. As result, user creation is skipped. Possible fixes are 1. Do not use getent, parse /etc/passwd directly 2. Stop nscd during installation in Live 3. Do not bind mount /run onto /mnt/run, just explicitly mount tpmfs on /mnt/run I personally favor 3, I do not see why rpm would need access to "parent" /run during installation. Also there are packages that use getent || useradd directly.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1155687 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1155687#c6 --- Comment #6 from Neil Rickert --- I tried a new install with openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20191104-Media.iso As before, this result in failures because required users/groups did not exist. Following the suggestion in comment #3, I then repeated the install. But this time I stopped "nscd" before the install systemctl stop nscd.service This gave a mostly good install. I got a couple of errors near the end of the install, about a failure to access repos. This was after most of the install, and probably related to setup up the repos for the installed system. I ignored the errors, and the installed system booted without problems. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
