You didn't follow the guidelines:

Enter "sudo debian" into your favourite search engine and read the Debian wiki page at the top of the list.

The sudo command is only configured for the first user if a root password is omitted in the installer.

HoaS is correct. As I recall, Debian does not automagically set the user with the sudo bits, you are required to do on your own.
Alternatively you could simply su -
to root then run your command

Su or su -

With the dash, should prompt for root password

Did you try

Code: Select all

And again: a search of the boards would have thrown up *many* threads about this problem.

Yeah, classy comment.

Why don't you try Ubuntu instead:

Would a Moderator please close this topic, before it goes any further, guess I should have just used the report button, and will now.
