There are 3 things IMO that should always be done and we detail them in the How To on the FSArchive page specifically with the following steps of 8 and 9

These things should be done once you boot and are logged into the new install the first time

8: Create your own user and /home

sudo adduser yourusername
9: Give sudo rights to your new user

sudo usermod -aG sudo yourusername
and the 3rd and equally most critical thing is to change the root PW to what you want it to be by doing this as root, so you might want to do this first.

passwd root
As RatMan pointed out, you definitely don't want to run a system as root.. as seasoned as some of us are here (RatMan, Jedi, Luke, dizzie and myself) we would never run as root all the time

Adding a user isn't required, but you'll be running the system as root so there will be security concerns.

Hi All.
Well I decided to start the whole process again from scratch. Reformated the drive, reinstalled fsarchiver. I didn't add a user, instead I reconfigured the keyboard to the UK first then changed VSIDO pw then went tty1 and used smxi to do the rest ( it was already installed ).

A question now, do i have to add a user or can i just use it as it is.

I still have to add my required programs.

Cheers Gordon.

Save the file and restart GmusicBrowser and you are set

I have also attached the edited file that Jedi needs

You are the HOST with the MOST!!! Thanks to you all is well in the world again that can be well...   

In most of the layouts I have created for GMusicBrowser I have the double click option set to insert the desired track at the top of the queue instead of directly playing it. Jedi has asked on the IRC how to change that to option to play  it directly so I am going to detail it here

having real problem trying to get to root VSIDO, no matter how I type VSIDO in for the password or if I use my own password it won't let me onto root vsido all i get is authentication failure. how i got onto root before is a mystery, must have been pure luck

cheers Gordon
 

vsido should be roots pw on any new install including the fsarchive. Of course it is always recommended changing that

if I log in as myself in root terminal and run smxi I get an error ( 8 ) message.
if I login in on VSIDO and cd / it changes to vsido@vsido:/$ and then use smxi I get an error ( 2 ) message. if I run terminal in vsido I get

Code Select Expand

vsido@vsido:~$ su
Password:
root@vsido:/home/vsido# smxi



if I reboot I'll end up in the same place

Cheers Gordon

As soon as you reboot and before you login, do your ctrl alt f1 to your tty1 and then run it as root (just like you did above as su)..that is how it must be done

Just thought is there another way that i can alter the screen resolution
