Root Privilages
Hi all, I have just installed debian OS and I can't create new folders or files. how can I change my user privialges in order to create folders and change files.
Thanks |
During the install you have been asked to create a user account (or more than one...)?
You are now logged in as that user? In that case you can only modify files in your /home/<username> directory and in /tmp . For modifying anything else you need to become "root" Eighter log in as root on the console or use: su - to become "root" temporarily. |

Another thing you can do is "sudo passwd root" and set the root password to something you know. Then you can "su root" or "sudo bash" and get root access. |
Code:
sudo apt-get -y install visudo Code:
