can't login as root after fresh install debian 9
after installing debian 9 kde I can't login as root in konsole. I have installed it twice just to make sure I put the right root password. I get this message:
su: Authentication failure
I know I can fix it with a live image but does this happen now, is there a reason or just a bug?

There was a bug which resulted in this issue at the time of Stretch's release. Where/when did you get the iso? Which type is it?

It's a live kde amd64 iso I got from the official website just a few hours before I posted. Should I try another, like netinstall ?

Yes. You should avoid the live image at the moment.

You don't need to reinstall. Open a terminal and type Enter your password for your user account. And then you should be able to set a new root password.
Code: Select all
sudo passwd root

Since he has set up a root password, his user would be out of the sudo group.joseph059 wrote:You don't need to reinstall. Open a terminal and typeEnter your password for your user account. And then you should be able to set a new root password.Code: Select all
