I’ve tried the “su” command on my OSMC deployment on RaspberryPi2 and can’t because I don’t know the password… I’m using osmc user (username: osmc, password osmc) but wanted to user a super user to try to solve some permisson issues on my custom scripts…
Use sudo su. I don’t think that there is a root password set by default.
The only superuser is osmc and can use sudo to get superuserrights.
Also you can use sudo without password by default. One can think of this what he wants, but in a setup that lives behind some router it will be ok and is not that uncommon for a multimediabox that is not designed to be accessible oitside if your household
Thanks mcobit, then I’ll do that, I don’t mind that the passwords are the default ones and everything runs under the root user… I agree with you, it’s not like I need NSA level security on my Home Media Center…
