I type the root password once, press enter to retype it, but it jumps straight to the login prompt. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. I’ve been dealing with this for the past month. At first, I thought it was just my 2GB model acting weird, but today I had two 4GB units do the same thing.
It only happens with the Debian 13 Minimal/IOT image. I didn't want the overhead, but I am using the Debian 12/XFCE Desktop image that works.
