the installer should force users to set a password; not having one should never be an option on linux. Same goes for not allowing users to have autologin

CCrono But it works

Crono•7/29/24, 6:25 AM

Also need to install corefonts for Wine games for the fonts to render properly

asen23•7/29/24, 6:25 AM

when im lazy i just set the username and password the same thing

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

since autologin can cause problems too

Kyle Gospo•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

I agree

Kyle Gospo•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

if I had full control over anaconda I'd do that

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

sad

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

can't fork it and make a change for bazzite?

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

use the fork for bazzite images

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

that's what id do

Kyle Gospo•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

forks are more work for us, we'll revisit it when the WebUI installer is ready

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:26 AM

ooooh webui

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:27 AM

do we have a preview of the webui installer?

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:27 AM

I didn't keep it because I tend to put my Go to sleep multiple times in a short span because I play it at work when I have free time. Didn't want to have to keep using a password, plus I didn't realize I could bring up the keyboard with one of the left controller rear buttons

Kyle Gospo•7/29/24, 6:27 AM

you don't, deck images don't have a login screen

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:27 AM

yeah deck images auto login to game mode

Kyle Gospo•7/29/24, 6:27 AM

you never have to enter your password unless you severely fucked up your install

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:28 AM

but you still need a password for any and all linux installs unless you know exactly what you're doing

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:28 AM

also its just horrible practice to not have a password for anything

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:29 AM

a linux install without a sudo password is more dangerous than windows xp with no antivirus in 2024

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:29 AM

I have a password on all my stuff normally. Just didn't want to originally on this laptop because I was giving it to my brother

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:29 AM

teach your brother about the necessity of having a password on everything

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:29 AM

I'm talking about a desktop password?

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:29 AM

Sorry if I'm a bit stupid, but I normally do have passwords

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:29 AM

Just didn't want to put on one it because it stays home

SSuper VeJobby I'm talking about a desktop password?

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:30 AM

for bazzite at least, sudo password is the one you set during install

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:30 AM

if you dont set a password during install, any application can run commands as root with no user input

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:30 AM

that's not good

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:31 AM

a linux install without a root password can be remotely ssh'd into without you even knowing

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:31 AM

for example

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:31 AM

which means someone external to you (even far away who just knows your ip) could just

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:31 AM

sudo rm -rf /sudo rm -rf /

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:31 AM

remotely

AAshlynn `sudo rm -rf /`

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:32 AM

(recurssively remove all files in the root filesystem, which would brick your OS)

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:32 AM

I'm sorry, I didn't know, this is the only other time I've attempted to use anything Linux other than the deck

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:33 AM

even if you don't care too much about actual security, what passwords do help with is prompting you that something is requesting elevated permissions

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:33 AM

if that makes any sense

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:33 AM

the password doesn't necessarily need to be secure; my linux install just uses a 4 character pswd

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:34 AM

because im typing it all the damn time

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:34 AM

If i get onto the Bazzite lockscreen and it asks for a password, I should have a password, right?

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:34 AM

mm.. im unsure

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:35 AM

if you dont have a password but dont have autologin enabled, then you'll probably still be prompted to log in

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:35 AM

but since your password is nonexistent, and the login screen expects something in the password box that isn't empty, it'll be impossible to log in

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:35 AM

I guess I'll just have to redownload the OS again and reinstall it because I don't have the ISO anymore

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:35 AM

yeah just reinstall

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:35 AM

its easy

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:36 AM

if you still have the installation media you used (usb, etc) you can just plug that back in

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:37 AM

I formatted it because I was gonna help someone else install it to their PC, but I'm realizing now I shouldn't because I know jack about any of this. Have to wait until tomorrow night to even attempt to redo everything on this laptop because it'll take forever to download it

the installer should force users to set a password; not having one should never be an option on linu
