[opensuse] Unable to login to Opensuse after successful installation
I have successfully installed OpenSuse10.3 in my system, It now shows a prompt with the Host name which i gave during the installation, somehting like "Linux-4js Login:", Linux-4js Login is the host name that was by default there during the installation. And if i enter the user name which I created or thry to Login as root, it says that the "Login is Invalid" Please help.

Sounds like you may have been bitten by the bug where the entered installation password is encrypted incorrectly, thus preventing a login. Follow the instructions in the link posted earlier: http://en.opensuse.org/Recover_Root_Password Just note you'll almost certainly have to follow the INIT or /bin/bash mode idea. Another way is to just boot off a live CD and mount the filesystem containing the boot partition and edit /etc/shadow that way. Do you, perchance, use the XFS filesystem? I've heard that is one culprit in this problem. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Linux Brain Dump - Linux Notes, HOWTOs and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbraindump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
