Allows empty password

[1vanK]

Please make it possible to set the empty password during installation (like in Fedora). Possibly with some kind of warning message about the unsafety.

Moin,

as a workaround you can suppress the Password-Questions to the detriment of security in the installed System with the following commands:

# sudo without password
echo '%adm ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/adm
sudo chmod 640 /etc/sudoers.d/adm

# admin actions without password
echo '/* Allow members of the adm group to execute any actions
 * without password authentication, similar to "sudo NOPASSWD:"
 */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (subject.isInGroup("adm")) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});' | sudo tee /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/adm.rules
sudo chmod 644 /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/adm.rules

And install Mint with autologin.
Hope it helps a bit.
