[gentoo-user] no prompt for password
Just built a system and all was going great, first time I have tried Linux in a very long time. After finishing up the build all worked fine till I was trying to get sound in place, followed the instructions for alsa in the handbook. Anyway, finished up, restarted the system, and now the system will show a login, I enter the user or root, but it never prompts to enter a password. Then just times out and eventually shows the login again. No X configured, just the console, like I said, a brand new setup. Using the Live CD booted up and tried to change the password, hopefully thought that would just kick things back in place, no luck, neither root or the one user I currently have added is being prompted to enter a password. Also looked at the modules that are to be loaded, it looks fine. Before configuring for sound the only module was s2io, obviously have more now. Any suggestions to get things working again, I would hate having to rebuild the system again. Thanks Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

OK, so what happened is that you un-emerged pam-login (to remove the block for the new version of shadow), but didn't emerge the new version of shadow (or didn't have the pam USE flag set for shadow). What you'll need to do is to boot the LiveCD again, mount your hard drive, chroot, env-update, source /etc/profile, and emerge the latest version of shadow, ensuring that the pam USE flag is set. If one of my assumptions above is wrong, let me know, and we'll get the problem figured out. :) -James No X configured, just the console, like I said, a brand new setup.

Isn't that one a default one? Anyway, added it manually as well to make.conf. Even though Shadow was in place, based on your message, I removed and added shadow again and am now able to log in. Still not sure what happened, but it is working. Thanks again, Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

No problem- May have just been a /etc/pam.d/* file that hadn't updated properly in the first emerge of shadow. Enjoy your new system (and Welcome to Gentoo, it sounds like!) :) -James On 6/14/06, Sean [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: James Ausmus wrote: On 6/14/06, Sean [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just built a system and all was going great, first time I have tried Linux in a very long time.
