Bypass Login for 8.04, add super user privileges
Asked by
Goat
Hello everyone, thank you to all those who answered earlier questions.
Is there anyway I can bypass the login screen in 8.04, running as a dual boot on a Compaq Centrino Duo, with XP installed first. XP has no password and only one user--with all privileges.
I do have Ubuntu 8.04 running fine, but am not able to add applications. It asks for a password, but then the install fails. Did play around with SUDO commands unsuccessfully.
I would appreciate your expert words of advice. Thanks.
