|
|
When I install the distribution Mandrake 9.1 and only Mandrake 9.1
I cant login on my root account since the console xxxxxx@host33.linode.com
I have an anomaly on the level of the login cursor
This problem appears only with the MANDRAKE 9.1 |

Why not log in as root via your IP address?

Yes I can always use this solution
But if the firewall is badly configured I did not access any more
with this solution :lol:
Thus I am obliged to use the mode console :xxxx@hot33.linode.com
That enables me to be connected with a firewall weakening |

I just tested this with the Mandrake 9.1 small image, and it works fine for me.
Code:
[caker@home ~]# ssh linode2@hostXX.linode.com
linode2@hostXX.linode.com's password:
[linode2@hostXX lish] Fri Oct 22 12:00:42 EDT 2004
[linode2@hostXX lish] Linode Shell (lish) Console starting...
[linode2@hostXX lish]
Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Bamboo) for i586
Kernel 2.4.27-linode34-1um on an i686 / tty0
li7-3 login: root
Password:
[root@li7-3 root]#

You could always login with a regular user from the console, then su to root.
I'm actually having the same problem with Gentoo. I used to be able to login as root at the console, but it stopped working maybe less than a week ago. I wasn't too worried about it, but it is an interesting error. |

I think he's having more of a terminal emulation problem...

Add ttyS0 (or tty0) to /etc/securetty, perhaps?

this is result of my login :
Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Bamboo) for i586
Kernel 2.4.27-linode34-1um on an i686 / tty0
Password: login: root
The word password crushes text "LOGIN" I cannot seize the
password completely because I have an automatic carriage return
before the end of seizure of the password |

ttyS0 was there, but not tty0. It might of been removed in a recent etc-update, but I'm usually pretty good about watching changes there. Not sure it fixed it yet, I'll just wait til the next time I need to reboot to find out, unless you know if killing agetty will make it spawn a new process with updated settings (it would be agetty right?). |

| actually I bet etc-update did remove it, because they did recently push that file out I noticed. |

No need to reboot -- just make the change and you should be able to log in as root on the console...
