I DL'd and upgraded with the MDK 8.2 beta4 cd-ISOs yesterday on a working
8.0 installation.
I was able to log in as root from the graphic login screen one time. After
that I tried to log in as root, ROOT, and Root, getting a "login failed"
message. Same result from the command line.
I was able to log in as a user, and su to root using the same password that
did not work for root.
As su, I did "passwd root" and entered a password. Didn't help with root,
worked fine with su.
I thought the su and root passwords were the same? Or was the login failing
because there was no user named root somehow?
I'm fixed now, I did an install to get rid of the upgrade, since there were
several problems. But I would still like input on how to fix this should it
happen again.
