Bug Description
In Kubuntu 5.10: Upon entering runlevel 1 I am asked for the root password, which
should not exist in Ubuntu. The first user password is not accepted.
Ubuntu gives me the option of pressing Control-D to continue, but this takes me to
runlevel 2, which does not appear to be any lighter than runlevel 5 - in Kubuntu kdm
runs in runlevel 2.
To post a comment you must log in.
Do you have a password set for the root user, or have you set a password and
subsequently locked the account?
