Public bug reported: hi i am trying to install some drivers n browser softwares but while installing it is asking for some admin password please help me regarding this.....
I had this issue on 2 installs of Maverick. Newbie but it seems the root pw is not set and blank pws are not allowed. So doing sudo passwd at the terminal seems to do the trick. You can use the same pw. A bug if not a bugbear to fool newbies? ** Affects: yelp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/748132 Title: Root password -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
