Can you please run this (as root)

 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/lib/cockpit/cockpit-ws -p 10000 --no-tls

and log into http://localhost:10000/ ? Does that still fail? If so, please
copy&paste the entire output.

cockpit uses its own /etc/pam.d/cockpit file. It does use common-auth and
common-session, but perhaps it's missing something that is in /etc/pam.d/login?
Did you modify anything there?

No, it shouldn't -- it's supposed to work out of the box, and I regularly test
it that way in a clean VM. I just tested it again with 138-1 as root (normally
I log in as user).

Thanks,

Martin
