yeah that is annoying. so i set a root password in gnome-terminal with the command 'sudo passwd'. this will at least save you from having to power-down your system from GDM.

hope this helps!

It happens the same to me. i wasnt ask for a passwrd at intalation, and a password is requiered to reboot or shutdown..
I wasnt even asked to set a username, but it is required to log on again once you get to gdm...
What must I do? ¿Power off the machine again?

I'm also having the same problem. Does anyone know the root password. On websites it states there is none however when one wants to shut down, it ask for root.

Maybe it's a philosophical question, but I would prefer to be able to shutdown the machine without the root password (if no root password and no user password is set, this is "a bit" tricky).

I can just press the power button, I can pull the mains plug, I can even throw the whole machine out through the window - I really think I should be allowed to be a nice guy and power-off the machine from gdm.
