whats the command in xterminal to get super user privil.

Gadget25, you really need to invest some of your time in searching.

I do but not finding anything , i tried the command you mentioned it says then after enable rd mode if you want to break your device which i ignore...i am executing a program dpkg -i filename when i do says i need to be a super user...

Go to gronmayer.com/it and search for "becomeroot", then add that repository and install becomeroot from Application Manager.

haaa i did but wasnt sure why n uninstalled thanks will do it again

doh! ok installed now i get file isnt there....i'm using dpkg to run a file

lots to know w linux now i get file locked by another process or something

You are probably not in the right directory. Where is the file?

Oh, and kill the Application Manager if its running.

sudo .... if you are setup like a Linux box should be. Is all you need. Also too if you have installed openssh or otherwise set a root password su works too, however the permissions aren't set correctly by default on maemoOS's.
