"Login incorrect" in TTY after update [SOLVED]

mark-o-solo · 2020-08-28 09:51:01

After updating the system recently (last update around 2-3 weeks ago), I can no longer login neither login as my account, nor as root, on any TTY console. I have read all forum posts I could find on this issue and none of the solutions worked for me.
I did have the shell bug which I hope I fixed by moving the /usr/bin/zsh entry to the top:

#
# /etc/shells
#

/usr/bin/zsh
/bin/zsh
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/usr/bin/git-shell

# End of file

My .xinitrc:

conky -c ~/.aureola/acros/conky-blue.conf &
nm-applet &
setxkbmap de &
xbindkeys &
redshift-gtk &
firefox &
thunderbird &
#exec awesome
#exec startlxde
exec qtile

I have now implemented autologin and get "module is unknown" on TTY1 and still "login incorrect" on the others.
Since it was asked for in another post:

Please use code tags, not quote tags for file contents and shell I/O, also don't paraphrase but post the actual complete error message.
