I got a locked /etc/shadow again now despite Ludovic’s patches (which would nonetheless give me a better feeling when pushed).
When booting an unbootable generation with Ludovic’s patches and then rebooting a normal generation with Ludovic’s patches, /etc/shadow is locked. Note that I get a message like “/dev/mapper/Guix: recovering journal” when booting (I did not pay attention to that before). I shut down the unbootable generation with Ctrl+Alt+Del. When I normally shut down with Ctrl+Alt+Del I get no such message. The unbootable generation was deliberately made unbootable like this: On Tue, Jun 04, 2019 at 04:12:17PM +0200, pelzflorian (Florian Pelz) wrote: > > I have multiple broken generation.
