Ed, I have re-installed this system and selected the "KDE Plasma Workspaces" but without any optional packages since there is at least one pkg that fails and TERMINATES the installation. I wrote a bug report on that. The installation should at least allow the user to go back and de-select the failing package(s). Sigh... Your input was VERY valuable... when you said/implied that your installation worked out of the box. I was able to ssh to the VM as a general user WITH NO CHANGES REQUIRED but root was disallowed. /var/log/secure reported words to the effect "uid NOT >= 1000" as the cause of the root failure. I think I goofed with the sshd_config file. So, again, THANKS for your help. George... Poc.
You suggested that this should go to the tst mailing list. Isn't that for testers? Maybe that's what I am? I enjoy being on the bleeding edge and reporting bugs. So, thanks for your input. George...

The test list is for discussing issues specific to versions that haven't been released yet.

Yes, ssh to a root account is disabled by default in the Fedora release.
The relevant section of the sshd_conf is...
# Authentication:
#LoginGraceTime 2m #PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
You have to uncomment and chage it to...
PermitRootLogin yes
To allow password for root account.

If you're using anything other than the released version (currently F30 and F31) you are a tester by definition. It's important to note that many people on the Test List do not read this (the Users) list.
