When you install Qimo, you will be asked to create a user account. That user will be able to perform administrative functions through "sudo", which is preferred to using the root user for such tasks.

I have installed Qimo 4 times now, and I still cannot update Qimo because it does not recognize my password. Tried using Terminal with the same results. It was suggested to me that I should just leave it alone since I like the way things are working, but I would like to and VLC and OpenOffice.

You can't use sudo/gksudo from the qimo user account, as it doesn't have admin privileges. You'll first have to switch to the user account you created during the installation, and then try doing the administrative functions.

Can you help with this problem?
