Installation

Hello everybody

Installation Bunsen Labs x86_64 iso from the stick on a multiboot system

everything OK.

Two problems:
1. the installer formats the existing swap partition.
I have found no way to turn off the

2. I have never used sudo
Where can I specify during installation, I would like to have an administrator account and a user account?
Can I set up after installation?

Thanks

The only thing I can think of is to explicitly set the swap partition to "do not use" in the installer and instead rely on systemd to mount and start the partition automatically (it will do this even without any swap entry in /etc/fstab).

sudo passwd root

EDIT: Actually, that just opens up the root account (ie, allows you to log in as root).

What exactly do you mean by "administrator" account and "user" account?

I had the problem ...

...
Warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/.... does not exist
...

and unfortunately Mageia 4 what the Grub2 the MBR provides ...
sadly only in German

On some Linux distributions, such as Fedora 19, but the problem is more subtle: The UUIDs of disk are deeply rooted in the system, as with the systemd or udev, the worry about the UUID as the swap device locate. It does not work, the computer does not start well

But is now resolved because mageia4 is no longer supported (the Grub2 was good!), so does the bunsen now

The establishment of these two accounts during the installation.

Thanks

Yes but those appear to be terms used in Windows.

In UNIX-like operating systems, we have the "root" user who can do anything and normal users who can only modify their own files.

It is not recommended to log in as root, if you wish to gain elevated privileges for an extended shell session (for example), use:

sudo -i

Only users who are in the "sudo" group can run this command.

See https://wiki.debian.org/sudo

So again I ask: what *exactly* do you mean by an "administrator" account, what would a user in such an account be able to do?

Also, what *exactly* do you mean by a "user" account?

I think that would be provided by running

adduser

See adduser(8)

Sorry,
of course I mean root!

sudo is for those who can remember no two passwords.

sudo is a "crutch", invented by ubuntu ]:D

As I said, if you wish to use the root account or the su(8) command then set the root password with:

sudo passwd root

Personally, I like the features offered by sudo(8) although I have switched over to doas(1) now 8)

I confess still massive adjustment problems
in (bunsen)Openbox. This applies to the bar at the top. Once the icons are displayed,
another time not. Time they respond to click, sometimes not. Confused. 8o
The menus are also completely overloaded.
The intention is to make the user as easy as possible, turns into its opposite.
I'm probably too old for.

How do I change the entire desktop on Fluxbox (there lies at least logic behind it)?

@unklar

Could you start separate threads for your problems? They aren't installation issues, and you are more likely to get help if they have their own post, with an appropriate title.

The "bar" at the top is called the Tint2 panel.

The overloaded menu even includes an item to restart Tint2 and reload the launcher icons.

sudo apt install fluxbox

Now be quiet!

-edit- pics or it didn't happen.

Sorry @damo
You're right. The question was also meant provocative. My speech has nothing to do with the installation.

I hope, however, you have my reverence to Bunsen labs with respect to the used herein versions of os-prober and dug noticed?

Even the desktop to bring my appreciation to @TeoBigusGeekus and @Sector11 expressed.

And if you still want to know what the picture:
It's called "Back to School in Donbass" and served a fundraiser for
Satchel; Paper and pencils etc. there tormented by the fascists in Kiev children.

Nor ask: [solved]
move it according to Off Topic

Edit: Thanks, @hhh {)
