"Unable to locate package root-system-bin"
I type in root, it says root is not currently installed and tells me what to type in to install it; I type that in and I get the error message "Unable to locate package root-system-bin"... I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I just installed it onto an older HP laptop...

so.. what is your goal here?
|
Just trying to make sure I installed it correctly with everything that I need to actually use it.

I'm having similar issue, and my end goal is to be able to use root user on the terminal. This is the first time using ubuntu, in redhat and suse, I was able to use root.

By default you use sudo. If you want to do something that root normally does you do
Code:
sudo updatedb Code:
sudo su |
thanx a lot, I was able to use sudo, but unable to use sudo for everything root does, for instance init...I would get that same message that root is not installed

damgar..disregard my last post...I didn't finish reading your last post...thanx once again
|
Not a problem. BTW to set a root password you should be able to just do
Code:
sudo passwd |
