Brand new to Linux/Bazzite. Terminal wont accept my password, is there a guide to fixing this?
Just looking for an answer to install apps that dont have a flatpak.
Bwdym won't accept your password
Bwhat are you trying to do and what does it say?
A
AWhenever I enter what I assume to be my password it rejects it...tried default bazzite for the password.
ATy for any help in advance
Bit tells you your password is incorrect?
A
Balso what did you do that prompted you to enter your password?
AAny get command for apps I want to install. Got discord running after finding a flatpak for it but initially went the terminal route
BI'm asking about the specific commands
Bthere seems to be two issues here
A
Bokay, well this I don't think will work on bazzite at all
Bvpns can be configured through wireguard
AWhich is somthing I thought might be the case
BEven if it does work, it would not be the supported way to set a VPN up
AOPENvpn was suggested.
BThe second problem though is that you definitely need to remember your password that you set
ARight, its the correct one, or at least its the one that gets me into the OS and setup during install.
Bit's likely not the correct one
Botherwise it would still work there and would error out later
AIm not typing it incorrectly.
ACaps lock isnt on
AThats is why its frustrating...
Bnumlock?
ANope, Ive typed it using the normal numbers and numpad to no effect
AA friend with a bit more experience suggested making an admin account in CLI?
Bwell the thing ur trying to do rn isn't something u should be trying anyway unless it's a last resort
Bbut solving the password issue is a problem u definitely gotta fix
AYea, its just my understanding that installing certain things dont work like .exe and there doesnt seem to be an alternative outside of the terminal.
AMy plan is to only boot into windows when I need software that isnt Linux supported like Adobe and access to drives that arent compatable.
ABut if I cant get 1/1 software to work thats going to be a problem.
AIs it a secure boot issue maybe? I have it turned off because there are .dll's blocking me from turning it on for windows, which is also a PITA
BBazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
Bread this
Bthis is order of most to least recommended ways to install software on bazzite
Bwouldn't affect ur sudo
AThanks for the help, I appreciate it.
