Bugzilla – Bug 115194
Can't log in because no user was set up
Last modified: 2005-09-10 12:28:00 UTC
I just installed beta 4, and all went smoothly until it asked for disc 5. I inserted disc 5 and went away, and when I came back there was a login prompt in text mode, as X had failed to start. I couldn't log in as root, and the install had never asked me to create a user, so there was no other user to try. I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot the machine, and when it came back up it was in graphical login, but still wouldn't let me log in. I've checksummed all the discs and they are all correct.

Created attachment 49101 [details] Yast logs Sorry it's taken a while - it took a bit of fiddling getting the logs off a machine I couldn't log into, and doesn't have a network connection or floppy drive ;)
Is seems that there might be more errors, on the other hand, this is not a normal behavior. You might have your donwloaded ISOs corrupted. Could you, please, try to check your media (from 1 to 5) when starting the installation? There is a [Check Media] option.

I just checked all the media and it said it was OK. When I was installing SuSE it did fail to install several packages, but when I clicked on Retry they succeeded. Anyway, I've just installed RC1 and it worked ok, after burning the CDs at only 4x, so it probably was a media error that just wasn't detected.
