 Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 5:16 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Gentoo Fresh Installation - Cannot Log In |
 |
|
Hi there everybody,
I started a fresh Gentoo installation in my other machine. I *think* I followed all the instructions in Gentoo's Handbook, and I have already installed Gentoo a handful of times. However, when I reboot and get into the Gentoo installation, the root password seem to not work. I've tried changing it, no changes. Its not a keyboard issue. If I use the LiveCD and chroot into the installation, the passwords seem all to be fine and correct. They are just not recognized when I boot from the hard driver.
Is there any extra thing I should do? Maybe due to new udev or grub2?

Maybe new pam sys-libs/pam-1.1.6-r2 settings have messed it, I guess.
rebuilding and etc-update in chroot might help. |

Thank you for your suggestion. Just tried, didn't work.
EDIT#1: I'm using pam-1.1.6-r4... should I drop back, maybe?
EDIT#2: Dropped to 1.1.6-r2, no change

Sounds tricky. I just want to make sure you ran the passwd as root? Maybe you could add another user and try to log in with it?

Yes, I did the passwd as root. I added 2 other users, they also do not work when I boot from the hard disk. For instance, after chrooting I do this:
| Code: |
Gentoo-20121221 ~# su user1
user1@Gentoo-20121221 ~# su user2
Password:
user2@Gentoo-20121221 ~# su user1
Password:
user1@Gentoo-20121221 ~# su
Password:
Gentoo-121221 ~#
|
So yeps, all the users are correctly set and I know the correct password of all of them. Also, the root password is "r". I don't miss the "r" key even when I'm drunk.
One interesting fact... when I'm chrooted, the commands "who" and "users" return nothing. Don't know if that's expected though...
EDIT#1: Booting from hard disk but using "recovery mode", I manage to log in as root. However, its not much use since the systems are mounted as read-only.

No one? Just providing some more information. Since I managed to boot using recovery mode, it shrinks a bit the possibilities, I think. The two main reasons I see are:
- some service being loaded is screwing the rest of the boot process
- there is a problem with permissions in the main partition, and thus only read-only boot works
This is the output of rc-update:

dmesg | sysinit

Honestly some of these permissions seem odd to me, but I don't know if this could be related, and what is the correct solution.

Indeed it was the permission.
I changed the permissions of the folders to the default (used another Linux installation to see what is the default) and then I managed to log in.
