Huhu, just to make sure we are on the same page:

  1. Menu -> System settings -> Security -> set Enforce Security to on
  2. Reboot (after changing this setting, for the temporary root password go to Menu -> System Settings -> Security and check the new random password)
  3. batocera-config setRootPassword [yourPassword] # You will get the above error but it should work anyway.
  4. Reboot
  5. Your new password should work now.

Despite working I created a small PR so there are no warnings/errors anymore when executing the commands (Also fixed the underling issue and not just silencing them ^^)

HoroTW commented

Can confirm this is now fixed in new builds 😉, so you (or someone that has the rights for it) can close this issue 😊

HoroTW commented

@fedekrum would you please close the issue or is it not fixed for you?

Unfortunately I'm also having this issue, but with the current release build (firefly 2024/12/04 03:10). So it appears that it's actually not fixed, at least not for my device (RG Cube XX). Note that in my case there is an additional asterisk in the error message (i.e. "/sys/class/net/eth*/address" vs "/sys/class/net/eth/address" as reported by fedekrum.)

I forgot to mention that it DOES properly change the password, I'm just reporting that it's still spitting out the error message in the current build.

Hmm interesting, I'm a bit short on time at the moment, but I'll look into it sometime (if not someone else does it faster :-P)
