Ubuntu 9.10, cannot log in as administrator in terminal
To solve annoying Windows errors, you might want to try a Windows Registry Check. In most cases, optimizing the Windows registry will speed up your Windows.
I have installed WIN XP, Ubuntu 9.10 and Open Suse 11.2 on an old computer (Pent 4 2ghz 512 mb RAM) Suse is excluded from GRUB to prevent takeover. To add Suse to existing Ubuntu GRUB I need to work in terminal as administrator but I cannot log on. similarly to install Flash Player I need terminal admin. I tried :su root which resulted in a long programme called ROOT appearing but that did not let me work in terminal. Any ideas?
In Ubuntu terminal? The user administration ist quite different than in suse. You have to give rights to every programm call. For example: $: sudo ifconfig
You will be asked for your own password, not for root's. With "sudo" you will use the programm as root.
