Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

[BUG] Installer doesn't stop you from calling the user "root", then panicsrevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:29 UTC via poll

System details

Omarchy 3.1.4, R5 3600

What's wrong?

Steps to reproduce:
- flash the Omarcy ISO onto a USB stick
- boot the installer
- try to call your user "root"

After that, the installer will throw an unrecoverable error, due to useradd returning user root already exists.

I think it would be fair to do a check if user entered a forbidden name as his username?
