Need root password

[rsal]

I installed Salix 14.1 Mate Basic install. While trying to install hp-setup (hplip package), it does not run with sudo, and asks for root password while trying to install a hp-plugin for printer laserjet 1020. For this I need root password. Apparently root login (with 'su' command on console) has been disabled in Salix. How do I solve this? What password should I use? Thanks.

We do have a wiki...
http://docs.salixos.org/wiki/How_to_ena ... _root_user

But you shouldn't need to do that either.

Code: Select all

sudo su

should work equally well.

Many thanks.
