Incorrect login [Solved]

After a fresh installation and configuration as root, I got an error message "Incorrect login" when I tried to logon (with the correct password) as a user and root. The same error on the second reinstallation. I installed Arch many times already and no problem. (The only change is Arch with Fedora and Windows as triple-boot. But dual-boot with Fedora was ok.) Do you know where the fault may be?

If you use zsh as your shell, check if you haven't run into https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36305

zsh uses installation, if I'm not mistaken. Then is standard bash? After installation from CD, I did not install zsh or anything, only created user and reboot. With the useradd I added user to /bin/bash as in the tutorial. Without the ability to login as root is only way to change something unusual during a new installation.

Hi, fastest way to solve this, chroot into your fresh installation and change the passwd for root and user, done.
But, could you show the command you used to create the user?

useradd -m -g users -G audio,video,optical,storage,power,games,wheel -s /bin/bash akisha
I can chroot from Arch installation CD, right? I'm not sure how. Via commands: arch-chroot /mnt and passwd or /usr/bin/bash?

Re: Incorrect login [Solved]

Your command looks okay.
Yes, you can use your CD for that.
Don't worry, there is a  wiki page, explaining how it works, it's really quite simple, if I may say so.
Once chrooted, do your thing , again follow the wiki if you leave chroot, and you should be done after that.

You almost certainly do not want to use that command if you are using systemd. Membership of many of those groups can case problems. You probably want

useradd -m -g users -G wheel -s /bin/bash akisha

I'm not certain about games, however.

mount file systems

arch-chroot /mnt /usr/bin/bash
passwd
passwd akisha

Re: Incorrect login [Solved]

Hi, what is wrong with the useradd command, I always use something like that, when creating a user.
I hope you mean to not use it in chroot, because I didn't say that, I wanted to know what command was used, to create the user.

The way to change a passwd in chroot is like cfr said, but I would still advice to take a look at said wiki.

Re: Incorrect login [Solved]

Using the installation CD and ArchWiki I successfully set a password in chroot and login is ok. Thank you very much for help! smile

Thanks for your answer, ah now I see, I was still using some of the mentioned groups like that.
Although, I don't recall having any issues with it, I changed it right away.
