Hi everybody, Just so people can find this info, here's how I changed the root password on the Agilo virtual machine in VMware: - boot with a console - press "e" when you get to the mostly blue GRUB screen where you can select "single user". - press arrow down to go to the kernel line, it's now white. - press "e" - you can now edit it. - change "ro" to "rw" - append "init=/bin/bash" - after editing, mine was: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/sda1 rw quiet init=/bin/ bash - press enter - press "b" to boot - wait a bit... - enter "passwd" at the prompt (which should read: root@(none):/#) - pick a password, then repeat it. - reboot (i used vmware to power down)
Now when you ssh as a regular user, like agilo, or any user you created with the elastic controlpanel, you can su root with the password you entered. I needed this, because in an attempt at security, I deactivated the agilo user with the elastic controlpanel, only to discover that the user I created is not a SUDOer. Neither was the agilo user, after I reactivated it. Thanks to Martin at Agile42, who replied within hours, I was able to find above fix and I now add it to the group to show my gratitude and to help anybody who may have similar selfinflicted pains. -- Follow Agilo on Twitter: http://twitter.com/agiloforscrum ----- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Agilo for Scrum" group.
