Description Adam Williamson 2021-05-27 02:08:43 UTC 
Live images built with libxcrypt 4.4.21 do not reach a login screen on boot. This affects at least KDE and Workstation live images. It's happening on today's Rawhide compose, and also on the libxcrypt 4.4.21 updates for F33 and F34 in openQA testing.

Booting an affected Workstation live with `systemd.debug-shell=1` so you can get a shell on tty9 and examining the journal shows these errors from gdm:

May 27 01:00:04 localhost-live systemd[1]: Starting GNOME Display Manager...
May 27 01:00:04 localhost-live systemd[1]: Started GNOME Display Manager.
May 27 01:00:05 localhost-live gdm-autologin][1422]: pam_unix(gdm-autologin:account): expired password for user liveuser (root enforced)
May 27 01:00:05 localhost-live gdm[1403]: Gdm: gdm_session_handle_secret_info_query: assertion 'self->user_verifier_interface != NULL' failed
May 27 01:00:05 localhost-live gdm-autologin][1422]: pam_pwquality(gdm-autologin:chauthtok): conversation failed
May 27 01:00:05 localhost-live gdm-autologin][1422]: pam_pwquality(gdm-autologin:chauthtok): user aborted password change

indicating some kind of issue between libxcrypt and pam, I think.

Non-live images seem to be working OK - we can run an install from the netinst or Server DVD and log in as a user created during install, for instance - so this is probably somehow specific to the 'liveuser' account created during boot of live images by the `livesys` initscript.

Affected image for testing: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-Rawhide-20210526.n.0/compose/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20210526.n.0.iso
Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2021-05-27 02:09:35 UTC 
Marking as an automatic F35 Beta blocker per "Complete failure of any release-blocking image to boot at all under any circumstance - "DOA" image (conditional failure is not an automatic blocker)" - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Automatic_blockers .
Comment 2 Björn 'besser82' Esser 2021-05-27 09:41:36 UTC 
Thanks for the quick report.  A fixed release of libxcrypt is currently building and will be available soon.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2021-05-27 16:13:26 UTC 
Thanks! The openQA failure that happened on the updated f34 update was not a real bug, this time, but me not quite getting the version numbers right in a test for handling a difference in Cockpit behaviour across versions. I've fixed that (hopefully) and rerun the test.
