jaraeez 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue. I've installed Mandriva 2008.1 RC2 3 or 4 times now (various reasons!) & each time entering the password for 'root'. Once i'm in my user account & need to use an application that requires root priviliges I have not been prompted for a password! After doing a 'passwd root' all was well... a bug or is it just me?

yossarian 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 It's not that I'm complaining or anything, but I'm running Mdv 2008.0 with Gnome (installed form live CD) and have no such problem. How come? Is this bug not universal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamw 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 It's just a bug in 2008 Spring RC2 One, somehow the One installer doesn't properly set the root password. The bug is tagged release_critical, it'll be fixed before final. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
