#129 Issues with Root Password On Live Media
Closed: Fixed None Opened 17 years ago by jsteffan.

Problems:

1) During the Revisor step where you can choose UTC and input root
password, I can't input the root password in the second input box so that
root can login when the livedvd comes up.

Summary: Root password input seems broken.

2) Also, liveDVD doesn't complete go to a login prompt. It gets to the
Fedora install screen where the user has to accept agreement for license
and input a user for the install. Is this the way it should appear?

Firstboot runs?


The default password for root, coming from the sample-ks.cfg is 'revisor'. This might mean the formToKickstart is failing?

The logic behind setting the confirm password entry box sensitive is broken.

Firstboot is just a chkconfig firstboot off. Tried to fix the root password thing in commit 7674b48

    # enable/disable services appropriately
    if os.path.exists("%s/sbin/chkconfig" %(instroot,)):
        for s in cfg.kshandler.services.enabled:
            subprocess.call(["/sbin/chkconfig", s, "on"], preexec_fn=self.run_in_root)
        for s in cfg.kshandler.services.disabled:
            subprocess.call(["/sbin/chkconfig", s, "off"], preexec_fn=self.run_in_root)

This is the code that takes care of any service to be run at startup. We should not be adding firstboot as a static statement, rather then allow the user to define that themselves, and have a note in the documentation.
