No go.
It keeps saying that authentication failed.
I don't know what you're doing wrong.
I just installed F30 Workstation from the LiveISO image. The install process didn't
ask
to create a root or user account. This is the new expected behavior.
I then rebooted and was prompted to create my user and I did so.
I then opened a terminal session and....
[egreshko@localhost ~]$ whoami
egreshko
[egreshko@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
su: Authentication failure
[egreshko@localhost ~]$ sudo passwd root
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
[sudo] password for egreshko:
Changing password for user root.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[egreshko@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
root@localhost:~
root@localhost ~]# exit
logout
[egreshko@localhost ~]$ exit
exit
All done and works as expected.
