Xterm Super User Password....
 

I'm tryinig to run this command "dpkg -i <gngeo.deb>"
and it says I dont have the right privileges...

so when I try to do a Su command. it asks me for a password. how do I find out this password ?:(

Re: Xterm Super User Password....
 

It's "rootme" if I am not mistaken. If I am, search the forums for "becomeroot".
(Man, there was a becomeroot question just a few days ago... the youth nowadays... :p )

Re: Xterm Super User Password....
 

not workin... that rootme password should work. everywere I search it says. "rootme is the password" but nothing....

Re: Xterm Super User Password....
 

In order to become root you need an app called "becomeroot" once installed, you'll type "sudo gainroot" in the command line.

so I've gained root(??) downloaded become root, and ran sudo gainroot.. I'm in the /home/user dir... I want to install a .deb file from there. "gngeo.deb" (which should be located here). how do I do this :(

Re: Xterm Super User Password....
 

If you downloaded it through the browser, then it may actually be in /home/user/MyDocs/

Re: Xterm Super User Password....
 

I did a "dpkg -i /home/user/gngeo.deb"

and was given a "unpacking gngeo"... and then.."dpkg error processing /home/user/gngeo.deb... error setting ownership of './meda/mmc1/roms': operation not permitted..."

I'm doing this because for somereason I'm unable to install gngeo from the maemo website. so a great user suggested installing it from xterm.

Re: Xterm Super User Password....
 

I think the problem could be that its looking to install/unpack the program into "/meda/mmc1/roms" but the directory doesnt exist...

Re: Xterm Super User Password....
 

... or is non-exec.

Re: Xterm Super User Password....
 

it worked. i was able to get it to install by creating the /meda/mmc1/roms directory. (I guess it was looking for that spot to install). thanks guys! too bad non of the roms work.. :( hehe
