An other password for user pi than "raspberry"?

Hi,

I installed Q4OS on my Raspberry Pi 3. After booting, a password is required. I chose the (only) user pi from the list and tried the password "raspberrry", but I cannot log in.

Is there meanwhile an other password used than mentioned here? q4os.org dqa010.html
Greetings

The password is 'raspberry' , with double 'r' , not triple 'r' as you have written in your post.

Oh, sorry, I meant raspberry, of course.

But "raspberry" doesn't work: Login failed

Is there a root password?

And now the surprise: Logging in remotely as pi with the password "raspberry" (with WinSCP) works. I can also use Putty from within. But no login via the login-panel is possible(!).

But I need the password for root.

sudo -u root bash

and

passwd

helped to change the password for root.

But also as root there is no graphical login possible.

(Perhaps I got an untested release, accidently?)

Re: An other password for user pi than "raspberry"?

First check your local keyboard works properly to write the password.

But also as root there is no graphical login possible.

root GUI login is intentionally disabled in Q4OS, please use 'sudo' command to gain root permissions.

(Perhaps I got an untested release, accidently?)

Please download the official Q4OS image here http://www.q4os.org/downloads1.html , and check md5sum for sure.

Re: An other password for user pi than "raspberry"?

I think, I got exacly this package. Nonetheless, I will test explicit this one tomorrow.

In the meantime I got access with remote Desktop by installing xrdp with

sudo apt-get install xrdp

Chosing German as language, but the following applications are in english language.

The desktop profiler must have been started again. Error code 60 After this message, the message appeares again.

Error Paket libfaac0 kann nicht gefunden werden.
Error simulation not successful.

the same error occures with the second and third option of the desktop profiler.

OK, I'll test tomorrow.

Thanks for your help!

Re: An other password for user pi than "raspberry"?

07E7F282097493A2CDC4FB82E40262BD

This is the md5-hash of the installed q4os-1.4.11.3-rpi.img file.

And the new downloaded file has the same md5-hash:

07E7F282097493A2CDC4FB82E40262BD

So it makes no sense to test anymore, I'll better wait for a new release, ok?

Re: An other password for user pi than "raspberry"?

It sounds like a keyboard language configuration mismatch somewhere.

At the login screen put the cursor in the user name box and type the word 'raspberry'

Does that appear correctly? If you have not yet downloaded the German language customisations and you have a QWERTZU keyboard then it would go wrong but pi would type correctly.

Wrong md5 !
The correct md5 hash is published here http://www.q4os.org/downloads1.html , scroll to the bottom.
$ md5sum q4os-1.4.11.3-rpi.zip

Re: An other password for user pi than "raspberry"?

Bingo.

raspberry --> raspberrz

In raspbian I use the same keyboard, but there is no such a problem.

What can I do to solve the problem?

BTW: Now, the desktop profiler runs without the error message ("The desktop profiler must have been started again. Error code 60"), but only when I'm not logged in remotely.

Re: An other password for user pi than "raspberry"?

1. At first, make really sure the md5 is correct, this is very important.
Correct md5: ed78f39a4db960c3bc8cd6d4bd50f757  , file: q4os-1.4.11.3-rpi.zip , check it here http://www.q4os.org/downloads1.html

2. You can fine tune your keyboard settings in Q4OS:
Control Panel -> Regional and Accessibility -> Keyboard -> Keyboard layout

3.

BTW: Now, the desktop profiler runs without the error message ("The desktop profiler must have been started again. Error code 60"), but only when I'm not logged in remotely.

XRDP remote login didn't initialize user profile and Q4OS environment variables correctly. You could report a bug in our bugtracker http://sourceforge.net/p/q4os/tickets. XDMCP remote logins work correctly, we have tested it.

The md5 for the zipped file:
q4os-1.4.11.3-rpi.zip

ED78F39A4DB960C3BC8CD6D4BD50F757

(The former md5 was from extracted zip-file.)
