** Description changed:
I noticed that the generation of the temporary subiquity server installer
password changed (roughly between noble .1 and .2).
Until .1 it was with only characters in the [A-Za-z0-9] set,
then much more characters became possible.
That hasn't been a technical issue per-se so far (other than more difficult
to type),
until I started to try the 24.04 daily (in prep. for .3 testing)
and when the temp password was this:
pv6xO0D8'sJ¨A.|(oHSz
- The 12th character is pretty unusual and difficult to type and even
- copy&paste of the password (what I almost do all the time anyway) did
- not work.
+ The 12th character is pretty unusual and difficult to type and even
copy&paste of the password (what I almost do all the time anyway) did not work.
+ (The character looks like the two dots of a German Umlaut or so, could be
ASCII / 168 / ¨ / diaeresis.)
I have to admit that this could have been caused due to the fact that I did
the installation on s390x, where the default console ("Operating systems
Messages") is not very rich, and where maybe a mapping issue could have
happened.
But the previous way of generating password was definitely more convenient.
If there are no (security?) reasons to go back to the old scheme, we probably
should consider that.
