The title speaks for itself. When I opened laptop lid I saw a password request for root user. What do you know? After typing the default password it says "unlocking failed" :cool:
Can this be considered a bug or I'm doing something horribly wrong? :rolleyes:
You're doing something horribly wrong.
Remember that during a live session (ie, before you run an install), there is NO root password set.
It might help by letting people know the following:
1) Which version of Backtrack are you trying to run? KDE vs. Gnome? 32 or 64 bit?
2) Are you booting from the default or other option?
3) Are you trying to be a l33t hackrz by installing a distro you know little/nothing about?
It does this to me too. I just dont close my laptop lid anymore. even does it after I change the power management options.
This happens when it comes out of standby. No password will work.
1) BackTrack 5 KDE 32 bitQuote:

im going to bet my house that you burnt the iso with Max Speed....
ReBurn the iso but use speed x2 and do a slow speed, this can be an issue when discs are burnt fast, also verify the image before you burn the disc.
Your house is mine! I'm using flash drive and the image is totally fine according to checksums.Quote:

Please Start your own thread however, this is because your chipset wont be supported by some programs.Quote:
