hello
I just installed Proxmox 2.1 and I did
HTML:
aptitude full-upgrade
I change the root password
HTML:
passwd root
I and I connect to the root login I get the message error
Login failed. Please try again
an idea thank you
 
in the log
pvedaemon[11987]: authentication failure; rhost=192.168.0.110 user=root@pve msg=no such user ('root@pve')
 
Please select realm 'PAM' when you login.

Hi, I have the same issue but I don't know where is the mentioned log in order to look at it, since the /etc/pve/.clusterlog format is different. :confused:

-------------------------------------------------

I'm trying to login to GUI using:

User: root
Realm: Linux PAM standard authentication
Password: is very simple (not special characters) :D

But I still can't log on after update

As I read on Mastering Proxmox book from Wasim Ahmed on the troubleshooting chapter, I noticed it usually refers to local loopback must be enabled in the network interface file, but it is enabled since the ifconfig result is:

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

and the ping result:

PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.024/0.032/0.040/0.009 ms

I can connect via ssh to that node and logon as root on the console, but I'm unable to login using GUI, also a 595 connection refused error is shown when I try to manage it from another cluster node.

Please help.
