Issues with logging in as new created user. (Both in TTY and LightDM)

MaxSpec · 2020-05-19 08:20:05

Hey there. I've recently installed Arch Linux and I'd really need help with logging in as the user I've made separate from root. For some reason I can't really enter as him despite the login and password being the same and home directory existing in the folder. I've even tried to install accountsservice for it to work.
I don't really know what happened as the folder with passwd shows everything is fine.

Show us the out put of your failed login attempt at a TTY and the system's journal after that.

Doing su - dan works fine for some reason.

What keyboard layout do you use and how does your /etc/vconsole.conf look like?
Also please use code-Tags for posting terminal output.

I'm sorry but I'm quite new to forums so I don't quite know how to format..
But about /etc/vconsole.conf:
KEYMAP=us

You click the link at the bottom left of every text box that says "BBCode", and then you fix the post.

Okay, got it.

Then why didn't you fix the post?
Also we're missing your system log for a failed TTY login.

passwd -S dan # assuming "dan" is the failing login

Also try to alter the password for the user to something trivial, keyboard agnostic (unless you're on a US QWERTY layout, but even then stick to sth. like "qwert" and especially stay away from the numpad.

Last: how did you create the user and set its password?

OP: Please update your original post and add those code tags. It's really hard to read otherwise.

Sorry for me being a little dumb.

I wrote it differently each time:

useradd -m dan -p a123 -s "/bin/bash"
useradd -m dan -p dan -s "/bin/bash" -d "/home/dan"
useradd -m dan -p dan

I don't quite get what could be the issue.

man useradd wrote:

-p, --password PASSWORD
The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3). The default is to disable the password.

You don't pass cleartext password with -p. As also outlined in the Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … ing_a_user), I doubt many of us even use -p as an option and prefer to use passwd instead.

man useradd wrote:

But instead use what's described in the Wiki to set your user's password (i.e. as root, use passwd <user>).

Edit: Damnit, Seth beat me to it.

Okay, passwd dan worked.
Thank you for helping me out with my idiocy.
