Hello guys. New rookie doubt.
I need root access to run commands like this:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
I run su, sudo, sudo gainroot, etc. But I can't run the update commands. The password is wrong, I have tried 12345, 0000, rootme and my unlock code but nothing works.
I have read in the following link that installing OpenSSH can be solved:
https://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access
But I run apt-get install OpenSSH ... and it needs root permission too.
sudo passwd root doesn't work for me either.
When I run "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" (with and without "su") I get the following error:
E: Could not open lock file / var / lib / apt / list / lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Enable to lock the list directory
E: Could not open lock file / var / lib / dpkg / lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/ var / lib / dpkg /), are you root?
What I can do?
