I think I need a keyboard plugged in for this right? Or is this on konsol? Because I only have Bluetooth wireless keyboard not a wired one
I'm thinking I might just re install iso on it again but but when I get to the username bit in set up do you know if it can be done by Bluetooth? Because first time I just clicked a button that was mapped so it was just set to 'dddd' to enter anything in
You will need a keyboard plugged in.
The instructions in the guide should be clear that you need to pull up the grub menu to complete any of this.
If you are on a steamdeck, you will also need to unhide grub
Yeah I don't have one annoying so I probably can't do this but thanks for the help anyway
I have the OS stalled on an Ayaneo
oh how is that working out actually?
It nice I've not had any problems feels like steam OS
I'm in 2 minds is it worth re install the OS so the root password will be re set
Honestly if you do this, don't even bother with a root password. A user password is enough
See the only reason why I attempted to login with a root password is so I could change my username. Because on setup I didn't have have keyboard so I just used the button that was mapped for 1 letter. So my Username was just 'dddd'
Anyone know how to add the initgrub command to reset su password as I've forgot mine
