Now to figure out how to get root, or at least sudo... odd, because while it tells me the default user "linaro" is not in the sudoers group, in /etc/group "linaro" *is* listed as belonging to the sudo group. Hmmm.
Weird. So, if you run `groups` sudo is listed as one of the groups?
Is the sudo package installed? (`dpkg --list | grep sudo`) Weird that there'd be a sudo group set up if the package wasn't installed.
Got it. There was a missing "%" in the sudoers file, so it wasn't seeing "sudo" as a group but as a user. Fixed it, and now I have sudo working. The last major hurdle is to try to connect to the internet, which is tricky because I only have wireless access here and the Roseapple Pi seems not to recognize my wireless dongle -- though again maybe I'm just clueless under Debian, since the dongle has a RealTek rtl8192 chip, and there are modules listed for that in /var/modules/: rtlwifi.ko, rtl8192c.ko, and rtl8192.cu. Loading them via modprobe I do get a note that another USB device has been registered, but nothing shows up with ip a or with iwconfig, so maybe not. Or maybe there is some intermediate step I have to take. Right now I'm reduced to downloading debian packages by hand, transferring them onto the SD card, and installing via dpkg -i <package>.deb. Not too efficient, but at least I now have iwconfig. Next up will be lsusb, to see whether the wireless dongle is recognized or not. -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-978-3311 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
