1. Ways to Get the SuperUser Powers
On Ubuntu Based OSs Try Again:
sudo su
On Non-Ubuntu Based OSs:
su -
Else Try to Switch to Another User with SuperUser/Admin
Privileges!
su [myUserSuper]
In some Distros May Try directly with:
su root
Then You’ll always Need the Password of the
Admin/SuperUser Account…
2. Edit the sudoers File
sudo visudo
Now on GNU/Linux Distros for visudo there are two Default
Shell editors:
- nano
- vi
In Case of the vi Editor then Hit ‘i’ to Start Editing
3. Enabling sudo Command for an User
Just Below to the line containing:
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
Append:
[myBeautifulUser] ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
Last Save Changes & Exit:
On nano Just Ctrl+x and Confirm
On vi First Hit Esc and then ‘:wq‘ ;)
You Dispose Now of a Beautiful sudo User :)
I use windows, so this probably won't help me in anyway, but lots of people who use Linux could benefit from this information. Great work!
