Bug#369664: Graphical DebianInstaller does not save passwords
Package: DebianInstaller Version: Etch Sorry for any confusion, the homepage of the DebianInstaller is not very clear how and where to send bugreports for the DebianInstaller. If the human maintainer of the bugtracker could be so kind to forward this report to the developers, i would be grateful. The actual bugreport: When using the graphical frontend of the Debian installer the user is asked for a root password and for a password of any newly created user. Unfortunatly these passwords are not saved, so that a login after installation fails. I used the Etch netinstall snapshot from the 28th of May 2006 and repeated this once with the same result. I don't know what information could be useful for you, so i just drop in some random data. I designated four partitions: / on XFS (hda6) /home on XFS (hda5) /boot on ext2 (hda2) swap on swap (hda3) I did not use DHCP but a static adress in my C-class LAN. After two failed attempts i used the normal textmode installer and installation succeeded on first try. HTH, Björn Janßen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Unfortunatly these passwords are not saved, so that a login after installation fails. That sounds fairly strange because the code is actually...the same. Which type of keyboard were you using. If not using a US keyboard, did you put special characters in the passwords? The current keyboard handling in g-i is not perfect because of the gtkdfb version we use. So, your problem might be here. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

If not using a US keyboard, did you put special characters in the passwords? The current keyboard handling in g-i is not perfect because of the gtkdfb version we use. So, your problem might be here. i did a complete graphical installation some times ago and everything worked, including saving of root's password. I'm also pretty sure the PASSWORD handler of the GTK frontend works, as i tested it many times. A question: what's the password you used ? maybe it contains strange characters?

Bug#369664: Graphical DebianInstaller does not save passwords
I'm using a german (qwertz) Logitech Cordless iTouch keyboard on a PS/2 port. I selected german on all three accounts (language, location, keyboard) in the installer process. Both passwords, root and 1st user, ended on ## (w/o quotes), so you seem to be spot on. Unfortunatly i didn't try any password without special characters, but i will install another Etch on the weekend and i will try the g-i with a mixture of plain passwords and some with special characters and report if i notice a pattern. Well, then that's probably the problem. Just try entering your passwords in a field where you can see what's displayed, for instance, the system name input dialog box, at the beginning of the install. You'll see that the # characters are not inputted (dunno where they are on a german keyboard). There are also problemns with capitalized letters (already reported). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
