  2. Thanx Nitesh. But as am a very new user to ubuntu , I don’t know anything about ubuntu and this sudo error is riduculous. so can you help me out to get rid out of dis ?
    How can I use sudo commands in 14.04 version of ubuntu?

    1. Hi Rajlaxmi,

      Which sudo error you are getting and what command you are issuing? Are you logged in as normal user or as root. If you can log into your ubuntu system as root then you don’t need to use sudo anywhere.

      Thanks

  3. All I get is the error message “stdin is not a tty” after I log in as root. What’s up with that?

  4. “Now, restart your Ubuntu machine. You will see a β€˜Login’ as one of the option in login prompt. I believe you guys know the rest.” Sincerly I dont and the login that has appeared after the commands wont log me in.

    1. Hi Divyanshu,

      Sorry for late reply.

      I think you have not created root password. Login with your username. Change root password using –
      sudo passwd root.

      Logout and try again to login using root.

      I will also update my post.

      Thanks
