OK at this point you're running into the GPT-swap commonbugs so you might go read all
of that to see what applies to your situation. You can ignored the swap thing or you can #
it out in fstab, systemd still activates it based on partitiontypeGUID.
The process to create a user in the 'firstboot' environment did not allow for
tagging the user to be an adminstrator. How do I do that?
No idea I don't ever use g-i-s, I give root and user their passwords in the
installer.
More importantly, once I got logged into the system, I have no idea what it set the root
password to. Definitely not what I provided, nor <null>. 'su -' with all
sorts of tries never got me into root.
Maybe you used one keyboard layout in the installer and you've booted with a different
layout? That's all I can think of and can't help with it because I've only
ever used default (U.S.) keyboard installs.
So how do I change the root password (hmm did it even create a root
user?)?
OK that's a bit of first day at the rodeo questions now! Pretty sure you can go back
to the chroot and set a new passwd for root and user if you can't remember them.
I would like to upload those firstboot messages, if you think they
tell anything (like the swap drive fail), but are they in /var/log/messages any longer,
and of course I need root to get to them (though I could probably mount that drive here
and check).
