      Hello Flavio!              Tuesday April 11 2017 11:09, you wrote to Dane Beko:               > Hello Dane.               > 06 Apr 17 17:10, you wrote to Bill Mcgarrity:               DB>> I've done the "./configure" and "make" but it's beyond that's        DB>> giving me grief. If I use "su", I become root; the "make        DB>> install" process then complains that I'm not the "mbse" user.               > I am having the very same issue, running a Ubuntu VM with MBSE        > 1.06.              The mbse version is some what inmaterial but what I said in an earlier post is       valid. A recap :-              Ubuntu type systems do not set up access to root login so you need to cheat.              As you can process root priv. processes by using sudo then thats the way to go       by :              In a terminal program of your choice do              1. sudo su        Enter password for the admin user - usually you.       Assuming set up is correct you will see something like              [vince@Applewood ~]$ sudo su       [sudo] password for vince:       [root@Applewood vince]#              Now you are in as root you can enter what ever commands required as per the       readme file etc.              When finished just run exit       at this point you are back as your normal user.              whoami              Which in my case does :              [vince@Applewood ~]$ whoami       vince       [vince@Applewood ~]$              Easy when you know how :)                     Vince              --- Mageia Linux v5/Mbse v1.0.6.15/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.501-b20150715        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK & Eire (2:250/1)    |
