I tried to log into tty (to fix a problem I already fixed), and I noticed that I can’t log in with that. After some digging, I found out even root can’t log in to that.
Anybody know how to fix this?
You should be able to use ctrl-alt-[F3-F6] to open a text login screen when the system first boots and before logging in. The same should work even after logging in to the desktop.
Root login is disabled by default and if you want to login as root you would need to first login as your regular user then create a password for the root account before you could log in as root.
Most likely a user name or password issue.
Please fetail the steps taken and the outputs given so we can see what is going on.
Can you login to you desktop?
In case you can’t log in to a graphical session either, and wrong password or keyboard layout are ruled out, it could be an SELinux issue.
Does it change anything if you temporarily boot into permissive mode (by editing the GRUB entry and adding enforcing=0 to the end of the line starting with linux)?
Problem solved, it used a different language as default.
Changed KEYMAP="il" to KEYMAP="us" in /etc/vconsole.conf
