I solved my own problem: When I downloaded Ubunto 8.04, apparently I set up a USER password account which does not necessarily work as a root password. In "The Official Ubunto Book", page 237 (How To Get My Root Account Back) type: $ sudo passwd root
Then enter user account's password followed by a new root password, repeat to verify. I thought I automaticlly had root privilages being the primary user. Problem solved + a lesson learned. -- cant enter my password in terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243503 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
