It's already Friday, and I'm delighted 😉 to see you here.
Another day of problem-solving, so we'll see how it goes.
Issue
su: Authentication failure
This issue is encountered when trying to su
to root.
Fix
Use sudo
to become root:
sudo -i
su
fails with an authentication problem since the root account is blocked by default in Ubuntu, and there is no root password.
That's it 🥳🥳🥳
I'd love to connect with you at Twitter | LinkedIn | GitHub
See you next Friday in DevOpsFriday series. Take care!!!
