Terminal does not accept administrator PW in response to "SU"
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
The installation of ubuntu 7.10 did not give me the option of creating a ROOT password. Most operations ask for the Administrator PW, the Terminal does not. I am trying to install the Java plugin for Firefox.
