Does that still fail? If so, please copy&paste the entire output. cockpit uses its own /etc/pam.d/cockpit file. It does use common-auth and common-session, but perhaps it's missing something that is in /etc/pam.d/login? Did you modify anything there? > If there's more needed to do after the initial 'apt install --yes > cockpit', that should be noted somewhere (README.Debian). No, it shouldn't -- it's supposed to work out of the box, and I regularly test it that way in a clean VM. I just tested it again with 138-1 as root (normally I log in as user). Thanks, Martin
