I just installed it with a lot of trouble on my system: Adama is really not user-friendly.
The problem is that during the intall I entered a password that consists of “@xxx1234”, where “xxx” are lowercase letters.
When I started Leap16, I found myself on the command line.
No loggin screen like sddm or anything else.
I checked the integration of the packages and didn’t see anything about Kde.
And I haven’t had any offer to ask me which environment to choose.
On the command line, we of course ask for the login.
Upon entry, I have to give my password and now it’s getting worse:
Since I can’t see which characters are taken into account, I have to type blindly.
I don’t know if my keyboard is correctly recognized, or if numlock is active.
And of course, after at least twenty fruitless attempts with and without numlock, I give up.
Since I can’t log in, of course I can’t enter any orders.
I don’t even know if my network is connected to the internet.
Do you have any advice:
to possibly be able to change my password if it has not been saved correctly
Sorry, but what you’re saying is Chinese.
I think I’ll start the installation again.
But how to create a password that is accepted and not rejected as he did because of a possible dictionary attack.
It must be possible to change my password after installing with passwd.
Possibly you are using a French keyboard but the root login defaults to EN_US? If that is the problem “@” should be SHIFT+2.
(Maybe also French uses an AZERTY keyboard while EN_US uses QWERTY)
Unfortunately, Zlinux1’s misfortune is by no means an isolated case.
My brother recently needed a new laptop. As Windows 10 is reaching the end of its life cycle and Windows 11 is what it is… he decided to break free from the bonds of slavery.
So I helped him install OpenSUSE LEAP 16 on is new laptopwithlinux.
I can confirm that Agama is not user-friendly. Our main problem was with partitioning; a bewildering mess that was almost impossible to understand.
Frankly, I’d prefer an installer based on Calamares rather than using Agama again to partition two SSDs.
The Agama installer from October last year used for Leap 16.0 was sort of an early release: you can do (almost) everything needed but the user interface was somewhat basic (being nice).
The current version available here is better but unfortunately only offers to install Tumbleweed, Slowroll and MicroOS.
An improved version should be available for Leap 16.1 though.
Since the partitioning section is a bit odd, preparing disks beforehand is a good option; otherwise you can still do almost everything but you must know what you are doing and where to look for that down multiple drop-down menus, not something that the average newcomer expects.
