I installed the Debian 9 from a Debian live amd64 image I downloaded today. Everything works great, but I can't su to apt-get anything new. theo@debian:~$ su Password: su: Authentication failure I have reinstalled twice, being super careful to get the password right, etc. But it simply doesn't seem to work on this version. Anyone else seeing this problem? Thanks, Daniel

I have not had time to look into this issue, but believe it maybe related to a known issue No. 3 on: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/9.0.1-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864955 After the live 9.0.0 ISO failed early in install and now the 'su' issue. This raises questions about the testing and QA of of the live ISO images, both pre release and at release time that need to be discussed and addressed in-order to avoid them in the future.
