This is a really strange issue, and I totally understand if you think I'm just making a dumb mistake, but somehow I think Solus changed my admin password.
This is on an old laptop that I wanted to repurpose as a media streamer etc, so password security wasn't a concern for me. I did a fresh install of Budgie 4.4, set the user and password (and wrote the password down), did an update and reboot and all seemed well until I tried to install some new packages after the reboot. I put in my password about twenty times, checking it to make sure I hadn't made a dumb mistake, but it won't take it.
I noticed in the change password dialogue that it will not accept a password that contains the username, which my original password did. Was this a change that was applied in an update to Budgie? And did it somehow decide to wipe my original password?
This is rather low stakes for me since it's an old laptop I was not really using anyway, it's just the loss of time and the fact that I'm seriously wondering if I have an early onset memory disease. But if someone can set me right it would be much appreciated.
