Last modified: 2014-03-14 15:14:09 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 User password is only accepted after a second user was installed in a terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+F1) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 13.1 beta via network until login screen of first start. 2. Open new terminal session and a user 3. Reboot until login screen (now with two users) 4. Original user is now accepted with original password Actual Results: This happened in all three installs on the same computer
item 2 should read: Open new terminal session and add a user
This very much sounds like bug#841719 I think. Can you confirm that? In short: on a fresh install you have to explicitely select the user on the login screen, even if there is only one. Otherwise the login will fail. For further logins the user should be remembered then though.
Maybe the login screen should be changed. The password field should only appear after a user is selected.
Unrelated with kernel. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 841719 ***
