Hi,

I have built a raw disk via 'lwr -d stretch' and debian installed it
via GUI option.

Even having simple character only password only, I cannot 'su'.

Are all others getting the same? Is there a bug report to play with on
this one?

Regards

Phil

Hi Phil,

Start the disk in repair mode, then start a shell in the install and type #passwd root and it will ask you for the new root passwd, then reboot. But you may find more problems than that, I did. I've been fixing them as I go, but it's running and I can add and remove software now.
