no sudo access

Post by Bdrmachine »

I installed Ubuntu 22 on windows 11 using Virtualbox 7. My problem is I have no super user rights. Without the use of sudo how can I fix this? There doesn't seem to be any options in the virtualbox install, unless I missed it. I changed the use name and password fields so I'm not sure why I do not have sudo access. As a further test I uninstalled Virtualbox and reinstalled with no change. Are there other files left when uninstalled that need to be flushed?

Does this mean you used the unattended install functions?

If so, try again using normal install:
