Fedora 29 users
I tried Fedora 29 in a virtual machine, during installation is set the root password and a new user is created but during the first boot is prompted again to create a user (the one created during installation is ignored) and I have not access to the root user, why?
sounds strange.
i suggest a complete reinstall.
Installation probably didn't go well. So complete reinstall would be reasonable.
It seems to me that even with Fedora 28 (in a virtual machine) I had the same problem. Could it depend on whether new versions of Fedora recognize that they run in a virtual machine and block root access? The installation has been executed without errors.
In F29 they changed the user creation, i.e. they don't prompt for a root password anymore, because you shall use sudo to execute root cmds. It does not improofe security, but it's hyped atm. How to fix:
"sudo su" will ask for the users password. "password root" will asked twice for the new root password.
OK thanks!
