Posted November 30, 2022 i just installed ubuntu in virtualbox, this is the first time im using linux so please explain my problem to me in simple language. so im setting up ubuntu and personalizing it. if i want to use a command with sudo, it asks "[sudo] password for jonas:" , so this is my name. i dont know what to enter, since i only used one password for everything i did in linux. i asked a friend with multiple years of experience in linux, but he didnt directly know and needed to go somewhere. so thats why im asking youguys this probably very simple question. please help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the only account on the system, then no, you'll have to reinstall and start again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ pythonmegapixel into tech, public transport and architecture // amateur programmer // youtuber // beginner photographer Thanks for reading all this by the way! By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.
