I have set my other half up with a standard account, which I have since discovered that I cannot sudo from to use run apt-get install. Is it safe for me to su to the account I made at install that gets put in the admin group, then use sudo to run the installl? Is it better to do software updates and install while logged into an account in the admin group? What is best practice?
I ask because my lack of understanding of the permissions got me into a bit of trouble before, requiring Mark to rescue me :
Personally, Iād log in using your admin account, add the secondary to the needed groups and then save. That way you should be able to install software without the other account being admin.
Do you have any suggestions for remote desktop between Windows 7 and Ubuntu? Use to use RealVNC for remoting into stuff, but they have yet to release the free version for Windows 7. Anyone know of some (preferably free) alternative that I can run on Windows 7 and Ubuntu?
