 Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2011 5:39 pm Post subject: Cannot login with "Login incorrect" |
 |
|
I just installed gentoo from ubuntu.
I rebooted and select gentoo, try to login with the root password set in gentoo install process.
The problem is that I cannot login with the password.
I also created ordinal user in chroot-ed environment, and set password, but I cannot login with it either.
Both passwords are longer than 8 letters, and show no strength warning.
If I login as root with chroot from ubuntu, then , and , I can use the passwords. All go successfully.
Let me know how to debug this issue
The error messages are like:
Authentication failure
| Quote: | pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser= rhost= user=root
FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'root', Authentication failure |
I checked following threads, but nothing helped me.

boot cd,
if ubuntu
| Code: | sudo su --
mkdir /mnt/gentoo |
mount the gentoo partitions, enter the chroot, nominally: | Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
passwd |
create root password

Thanks for reply.
I've already followed these steps.
But, I booted with rescue mode, set the same password, and rebooted,then I came to be ale to login!!
I have no idea why the root password is not correctly set from Ubuntu.
Anyway, the problem is solved :-) |
