I have Manjaro Cinnamon the latest version.
This forum sports a search, try to use it next time and post what you have tried already.
Do you mean that I should do
$ su faillock
and then press Return?
sudo doesn’t work.
No. As stated in the first link:
$ su -
to login as root
(root
password is needed) and then check:
$ faillock
After I did what you said I did exit. And then I could use “[sudo] password for hovert:” with my ordinary password. I thought that I should have used the root password because of the word “[sudo]”.
Now I think that the problem is solved. Thank you for your help.
Ah, yes: sudo
asks for your user password.
If you prefer to be asked for root
password, you need an enabled root
account and add
Defaults rootpw
to /etc/sudoers
(or create an appropriate file with that line in /etc/sudoers.d
).
This had me for the longest time, as well.
