How to allow 2nd user?
I am a member!
I'm running Trisquel 6. I have added a second user with full administritve rights but when they try to add remove applications it asks for their password. They enter their password and get the message
"Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window' '--non-interactive' '-o' 'Synaptic::closeZvt=true' '--parent-window-id' '33554435' '--set-selections-file' '/tmp/tmpI7Bhwl' as user root.
The underlying authorisation mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator."
What do I do to overcome this problem please ?
The user who currently has administrative privileges should add the other user name to some group. I guess the "adm" group is the one missing (the 'groups' command can be used to check that out):
$ sudo adduser 2nd adm
In the example above the user is named "2nd". Change it accordingly.
