Have you tried to log in using 'su arch'?

drcouzelis · 2014-01-01 18:03:57

Where are you logging in from? The TTY? GDM? Slim?

graysky · 2014-01-01 18:07:25

I suspect you're changing the root password. Log in as root then su to the arch user like this and then run the passwd cmd:

# su - arch
$ passwd

kiru · 2014-01-02 04:42:45

when i type

#su - arch

output is like this
su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/arch: Permission denied
su: failed to execute /bin/bash: Permission denied

i am loging in from tty1

kiru · 2014-01-02 04:46:23

if i give the wrong password ,it says that password incorrect
when i type the correct password tty blinks and new login appears not error is displayed

One time when I modified the $PATH in /etc/profile with incorrect syntax, I re-logined and encountered the same behavior as yours, and fixing that file solved this. Have you ever done something similar to that?

kiru · 2014-01-02 07:35:41

no

# /etc/profile

#Set our umask
umask 022

# Set our default path
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
export PATH

# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
done
unset profile
fi

# Source global bash config
if test "$PS1" && test "$BASH" && test -r /etc/bash.bashrc; then
. /etc/bash.bashrc
fi

# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP

# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH

Is this btrfs? Did you install into a subvolume?

Does the directory "/home/arch" exist?

What are the permissions on that directory?

Please show

grep arch /etc/shadow

Actually, you probably shouldn't post the hash part (everything between the first and second colons).

I don't see why any of it needs posting. This is unlikely to be an account problem if the OP is even unable start a login session via su from root (i.e. no password needed).

Yes, i should have given a warning, however i suspected, that there is a "!" instead of the hash.

Your /etc/shadow doesn't show the user "arch".

Why is there an Ubuntu account in your Arch Linux configuration?

Also, you didn't answer my very important questions:

Does the directory "/home/arch" exist?
What are the permissions on that directory?
