Switch to another VTTY (Ctrl+Atl+F1 for instance), 'passwd', specify the |
2 |
desired password, switch to Xorg again (Ctrl+Alt+F7 if I am not wrong), 'su' |
3 |
and that's it. |

Subject: [gentoo-user] root password on 2008.1-i686 minimal install |
10 |
|
11 |
I'm unable to log in as root on the installer OS for 2008.1_beta iso. |
12 |
|
13 |
I see nothing telling me what the root password is but the installer |
14 |
prompts me for a username and password. When logging in as root |
15 |
fails I'm eventually logged in as user `gentoo' but can do none of the |
16 |
things necessary to create an install. |
17 |
|
18 |
This seem pretty ridiculous so I'm pretty sure I'm missing some note |
19 |
or something. |
20 |
|
21 |
Starting the install with or without framebuffer appears to make no |
22 |
difference in the end result. |
23 |
|
24 |
I get a sorry little xfce desktop with no way to get to a root |
25 |
terminal. |
26 |
|
27 |
How can I ditch the sorry little desktop and use text mode and get |
28 |
logged in with the necessary root premissions? |
29 |
|
30 |
There is a `help' option on the boot screen but when I select it I get |
31 |
a very fast scroll thru a massive file then jumps back to login |
32 |
screen. Absolutely useless for any help. |
33 |
|
34 |
This install is inside a vmware as guest so maybe some of this works |
35 |
better in a normal install... I hope so. |
