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.

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

Comment 10 Ulrich Windl 2005-08-17 12:28:59 UTC 
FYI: I've found a workaround (temporary solution):
kill the "su - nobody" process
passwd -x 99999 nobody
After that SuSEconfig finished normally.
