Ubuntu :: Cannot Sign In As Root
Nov 14, 2010I was using windows xp, then I've installed ubuntu using the windows installer that [URL] offers. Before the installation begins, the program first asked me about the user name and the password that I want to set. but nothing about the root password. Later when i tried to sign in as the root, the password i've provided didn't work for the root, but it works with my normal user name. So now I want to sign in as a root.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDebian :: How To Sign In Or Install For Root Privileges
Feb 28, 2015I used Zorin, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu. Even though Kubuntu was my favorite because of the KDE platform, it still didn't have what I was looking for. With Debian, the KDE platform works great, it uses KDM instead of LightDM, (you can do more with that), and the choices of software for setting it up as a server is great. The problem I having right now is with the root privileges. With the other Debian based systems I used, root privileges was not a problem. When I signed in, it was with my user name and my root password.
Every time I did updates or installed software, it ask me for authentication which is my root password. And if I had to use su or sudo commands in the terminal it ask for my password. I had no problem with that. I'm just as big with security as any Unix based system users. And Linux has that. That's one of the big reasons I left Microsoft Windows for Linux. There was times when I had to have full root privileges for just a short time, and my favorite command was sudo nautilus. This was perfect.
For example, sometimes I had to get in to the opt folder for a brief moment to past a web page in it. Opt is a root folder. It can be opened with out a root privilege, but you just can't past files to it. Sudo nautilus was perfect for this because it is a temporary root privilege. Close the terminal and the root privilege session ends. This is great. You don't want root privileges all the time you're log in. That can be dangerous because it's a high security risk.
With Debian, I have not been able to get any root privileges. And without root privileges, I can't load much needed software, can't access my second hard drive, matter of fact, the second hard drive doesn't even show up. I can't really do much of anything. Is there something I can do when I am installing Debian to fix this or how do I get the root privileges I need?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Unable To Boot After Hard-reset After Using Rm -r As Root / Enable It?
Apr 6, 2010First of all, i'll just say this myself. I'm a dumbass and tried to fix somethings that wasn't even a problem from the start and now my 9.10 installation is totally fubar. There, done, now let's move on.
Ok, so I tried to delete a folder after compiling two binaries to the wrong folder and used the
Code:
rm -r
command on what I thought was the folder /home/lars/bin. And to add to the dumbass-ering, I was root while doing this. The computer hangs and leaves me with no other options than doing a hard-reset via power-button.
After rebooting I can't even see the login screen, it just hangs at the Ubuntu symbol.
So I give the recovery mode option in my grub menu a try and it gives me a bunch of lines, all looking good until I get this and the boot just stops with a blinking underscore. code...
Should I just beat myself for a while and then reinstall the OS or what...?
The hardware involved is a Asus EEEpc 1000h.
ps. I'm new to Linux and have so-far managed to get around by following guides and tips, just a heads-up.
Debian Hardware :: Enable / Disable USB Root Hub
Oct 6, 2010Basically what I'm wanting to do is only have one USB keyboard connected active/enabled at any given time. i.e., enable B1D14 and disable B5D2, then enable B5D2 and disable B1D14. I'm actually wanting to enable/disable at the root hub. Something analogous to mount/umount a device instead of a file system.

General :: Enable Permissions For Pen Drive Access As Root?
Mar 20, 2011when you attache a pen drive with windows you can drag from the pen drive to the desk top, and visa versa. with Linux logged in as normal user I can drag files from pen drive to Desktop but not the other way around. my pen drive is TITANIUM and at /dev/sdb1 mounted at /media/TITANIUM so I have to use
cp /home/user/Desktop/file /media/TITANIUM as root
If I log in as root I can drag files from pen drive to desktop and also from Desktop to pen drive. is there an easy way to give permissions for normal user. I had a look a groups and it has scanner, printer etc listed ,can I amend groups somehow to enable same permissions for pen drive access as root?
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Enable NVIDIA Drivers Without Root Access?
Sep 17, 2010I want to enable the desktop effects (such as smooth minimising, smooth viewport switching, etc) but it says that "Desktop effects are not supported on your current hardware / configuration. Would you like to activate them anyway?"
My first question is how do I check to make sure whether the NVIDIA drivers are enabled or not? (I know they're on the system, since 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' is in the list of applications).
My second question is how do I activate these drivers?
Note that I don't have root access, since I'm using a university machine, so I can't edit the xorg.conf or anything like that.

Ubuntu :: Location Rather Than % Sign In The Terminal?
Feb 17, 2011I have been recently been using Ubuntu machines in my faculty labs at university that have % as the terminal sign for the line rather than the location.
For example,
% kate &
% echo "helloooo" > hello.txt
%
I find this extremely annoying as I am used to % being replaced with a path to the current directory followed by a $. Like a default Ubuntu install.
For example,
james@james-pc:~$ cd Documents
james@james-pc:~/Documents$
I would like to know if there is an easy way to change this to what I am used to? I don't necessarily need the "james-pc" bit, the username would be nice but I really want the path to the directory.
