Yast asks for root password on live cd.
How could i make it stop ?

You could try and set the password to an empty string.
But the LiveCD logs in as a non-root user, and root privs are needed to
run the installation - that’s why it asks.

i tried to set empty password but it still asks the password. i still
need the press ok button without password.
suse studio does not let me autologin root permissions or give user id
0
in a regular live cd of opensuse, live cd installer does not ask
password for yast and live installer
so there must be a way to do it
and there is no operation system in history of operating systems that
asks a password to be installed
suse studio must had to do it’s own.
i am sorry for agression but maybe Linus Torvalds was right.
opensuse has some bullshi* of security rules

Keep in mind that a LiveCD is intended to show you a running system, and
best practices are to not login to the GUI as root but as a normal user.
That said, perhaps you can use the post-build script to modify the
behaviour so you don’t have to enter a password.

i agree that LiveCD is intended to show us a running system.
But I strictly say that again there is no operation system in history
of operating systems that asks a password to be installed
anyway opensuse live cd does not ask for root password on live-cd
installer
it uses a normal account named linux and autologin it in first boot.
so you are right, i have to use the post-build script to modify
behaviour to prevent to ask a password.
the question is
what would that post-build script be ?
thanks and regards…

It looks like the difference between the 12.2 liveCD and a 12.1 installed
system I checked is a pam configuration item.
On the LiveCD take a look at /etc/pam.d/common-auth and compare to the
LiveCD you’re building.
The difference I see is that on the Live media for 12.2, the optional auth
is commented out, and the pam_unix2.so line has “nullok” at the end on
the live media.
Then set no password and that /probably/ will do it.
You probably don’t even need a post-build script, just push a changed
common-auth (or rather, the file that links to, common-auth-pc) to the
system and see if that does the trick.
