Hi Dave. Try "sudo su" instead of just "su" to get a root terminal, and use the same password as you did for your account. For more info on this, try googling "sudo". Hope that helps.

I'm an experienced developer, but I'm new to Linux. When I installed gNewSense today, it asked me to set up a username/password, but I don't recall it asking me to set up a password for root. Now when I try to do 'su' in a terminal window, it asks me for a password. No password I try works. I've tried the password for the login I set up, I've tried 'password' and 'Password' and I tried leaving it blank. I searched the mailing list archives and Google, but couldn't find any info. Thanks very much for any pointers. Dave _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
