You have to install the sudo package to be able to use sudo. If you want to install sudo you will first need to open a terminal
and type: $ su $<enter password> # aptitude update <- let it do it’s thing and it will tell you
if there are any updates # aptitude safe-upgrade <- let it do it’s upgrade # aptitude install sudo < let it install sudo # vim /etc/sudoers < now you can edit the sudoers file and add
your username. The new line will look just like the line for root except
replace root with your username. You should then be able to use sudo to run root commands. ---- From: dwain
[mailto:dwain.alford@gmail.com] hello all. i just installed debian tonight next to win
xp. they seem to play well together. i was trying to setup the bug
report and found that i can't sudo into root. i can get into the synaptic
package manager with the root password and this has me a bit confused why i
can't login as root in the terminal with sudo. is there another command
that i can try to do this? |
