After going trough the whole (though short) installation process using Gentoo Linux Installation(command Line)I am greeted with a screen that says something to the effect that The resetting of the password to the ROOT profile has failed, and gives me a list of options to try and either fix it or come back to it later, which after many futile attempts, results in ultimately closing the window and trying again, only to come upon the same fate as before. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Initiate(by double click) Gentoo Linux Install(Command Line) 2. Going through all the steps correctly and promptly 3. waiting until it stops the process/no more steps to do Actual Results: Results in message saying something like resetting the password has failed Expected Results: For the installation to end in some sort of positive Congratulations or "Installation is complete" message and I can go on personlizing it and adding things to it. It worked the first time, but when I got to the part where I was supposed to enter a new password I accidently thought it froze and closed the window and started it back up again. When I did, it hung up early in the process after i've chosen what to mount and partition etc. and now it's hard to even reach the end, it seldom goes past that freezing point, but when it does, it displays the same Password error.
How is this a gnome bug? Reassigning.
This sounds like what happens when you specify a portage snapshot for your stage tarball URI. Please attach your /var/log/install.log.failed.
Right, likely somehow you got past the stage3 installation step but didn't actually end up with a valid base system with chpasswd installed on it. Check that you're downloading the right thing.
I'm getting the same error but I do no specify any stage tarball URI.

You got the same error because you made the same mistake. A valid stage3 tarball URI is REQUIRED if doing an internet install. The installer isn't smart enough to know that the URI you provided was crap, because people sometimes use their own custom stage3s. Please go back and try again, with a proper URI this time.
