We have a little laptop for travel use, and I just finished installing Solus 4.0 Budgie on it. After setting up and configuring everything for my own account (email, browser, etc.), I tried to add a user account for my wife. I verified the account settings in Users, but was not able to assign ANY password that my wife would be able to remember.
Eventually we decided to use something that she would actually be able to type, figuring that we could put a label near the keyboard as a memory aid. (This travel computer is never outside of our physical control.)
With the memory problem solved I used the terminal to assign her a password. Testing her login, I couldn't get past the login prompt. The screen would go black for a few seconds, then display the password prompt again.
Figuring that the passwd command at the terminal might accept passwords that the GUI login didn't like, I went back to the Users settings in the GUI and created yet another password that the Users dialog would accept. Still no joy with the logon screen. Same fade to black, then re-display the logon prompt. So I eventually got tired of it all, and added her email account and her calendar to my email app (Thunderbird). We can make do with one account for traveling.
I've installed Solus dozens of times, on VMs and on hardware, but always with just my account. This was the first time I've tried to add a second user. Has this issue been raised by anyone else before, and hopefully a solution found?
