New Snapshot password problem recognized [Solved]

[klamaux]

Hello MX Linux Team,
I think I have found a bug in new Live-Snapshots.
As I tried to get access to the live system by typing “demo” or “root”,
there was no success.
After some trying I found, that the system liked my real password from the system
i had made the snapshot of.

Perhaps there could be a possibility to choose a special password by starting MX-Snapshot?

Greetings to all happy MX Linux users

if you make a personal snapshot, the user names do not reset.

It was no personal snapshot

Dear everyone,

To me, once in a while, I had an experience in the past that I could not access from desktop menu like this.
In that case, I used mx-snapshot from a commandline (terminal) instead. The cause is not known to me.

Best regards,

What exactly do you mean by "trying to get access" do you mean you type demo password at the graphical prompt? Can you try CTRL-ALT-F1 and try to log in to CLI with "demo" username and "demo" password?

I wanted to open thunar with root access. Something like sudo thunar or gparted (for what you need administrator rights) to manage the partitions for example.
In the last time it changed from typing "root" to "demo". I think, because the sudo operation is more secure than to log in as root.
But now it was not possible at all to log in as any user. The system didnt like that passwords.
So in clear: although I had made a snapshot for "everyone", the password needed to access any rights on the live system was not the announced "root" or "demo", but the one of my snapshot-producing system.
