Hi Greg,
I am using ubuntu-24.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso from https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop in VirtualBox sudo is there: lars@Ubuntu-2404-VirtualBox:~$ sudo whoami [sudo] password for lars: root lars@Ubuntu-2404-VirtualBox:~$ The setup-linux script „asks“ for a password but doesn’t wait for me to enter it. It continues instead saying „su: Authentication failure“: sudo command is already present. Adding lars to sudoers... Please enter the root user's password. Password: su: Authentication failure Kind regards, Lars > Am 09.10.2024 um 20:24 schrieb Gregory Casamento <[email protected]>: > > What particular version of Ubuntu are you using?
