Description Bryan Perry 2005-08-10 16:20:42 UTC

When doing a full install on various hardware platforms of SuSE Linux 10.0 Beta
1, the installation get to the very end of all 5 cds where it is writing the
system configuration "Running SuSEconfig.tetex" and never completes this step.
Manually switching to another console and killing the tetex process allows the
installation to continue and complete successfully.

I will attach hwinfo and y2logs shortly.

OK, please, attach those logs and I'll have a look at it...

Comment 2 Klaus Kämpf 2005-08-11 06:19:09 UTC

This is already known. There is a password expiration for user nobody 
 
-> werner

Comment 3 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-11 09:46:37 UTC

Please run as root

        grep nobody /etc/shadow

and report this line in your comment, thanks.

Comment 8 Jiří Suchomel 2005-08-11 15:08:02 UTC

Fixed in yast2-pam-2.12.2

which will go to beta2.

FYI: I've found a workaround (temporary solution):
kill the "su - nobody" process
passwd -x 99999 nobody
After that SuSEconfig finished normally.
