Description Matthew 2023-10-06 05:41:58 UTC
Using the current LiveGUI USB Image release, startup was nominal and landed me into a KDE environment without a login prompt. 

I conducted installation activities but eventually got tired and closed the laptop I was installing Gentoo on and took a nap.

When I opened the laptop back up, I was greeted with a lock screen for the "gentoo default user" account that requested a password. The password is not "gentoo" as some online reference material or posts suggest, and if you guess the password wrong three times it locks you out of even being able to enter a password for ten minutes.

I had to shut the machine off, boot the LiveGUI again and reperform both a workaround for a network manager permission problem and all chroot steps. 

I would expect the LiveGUI KDE configuration to be adjusted to prevent a login prompt from appearing on resume from any kind of standby mode, or implementation (and communication) of a default password.

I think the easiest fix would be to disable lock screen after resume, probably just a config entry in addition to what we do here to disable normal lock screen:
https://github.com/gentoo/releng/blob/master/releases/specs/amd64/livegui/files/fsscript-stage2.sh#L27

Can you try to make the config change while on the livegui and see what config entry it writes?

Thanks
