Yes, see the most annoying bugs of Beta3. pam_fp is broken, the wiki describes how to fix it,
On Beta 3, it doesn't work for me. The wiki says:
]> Bug #437411: su and console login do not work. Workaround: sudo vi /etc/pam.d/common-auth and remove the pam_fp line. We will release a test update.
I have no "pam_fp line" and I see no update at all.
Symptoms:
- No text consoles. - In gnome, I can "su -" to root, but Yast only works in ncurses mode. I tried "yast2", "yast", "yast --qt", and in all cases I get the ncurses mode yast. - Going the menu route, yast does not start and I see no error. - If I log in as root, in Gnome, I get the graphical Yast.
Making the change suggested in the bug report worked for me on the 2nd issue. I'll create a bug report, if there's not one already, for the 1st issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
