Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I used the "debian-live-8.1.0-amd64-standard+nonfree.iso" image to install
Debian. During installation, I chose no root password in order to disable root
login. My understanding is that this option should install and enable "sudo"
privileges for the non-root user created in the next step of the installation
process.
After installation and login with the non-root user, I cannot run "sudo". It
fails with the message:
-bash: sudo: command not found
This indicates that "sudo" was not installed. I then tried "su" to attempt
change to the root user. I tried both entering no password, and entering the
user password. Both of these failed with:
su: Authentication failure
Which is to be expected because no password was set for root.
I reinstalled debian a second time without a root login, but the issue
remained. I believe this is an installation error with setting up users.
