[Elphel-support] What is the password of "su -" of the Eee Box ?

[Oleg K Dzhimiev]

Jason,

a. You could try this link:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-admin-group-permissions.html
OR
b. Download our live-usb <http://community.elphel.com/files/live-dvd/> (based
on kubuntu 10.04) or some other kubuntu distro. Burn it on USB drive or
CD/DVD, boot from it and try to restore your privileges from there. Don't
know how yet - we'll see.

regards,
Oleg
