Thread: ubuntu 10.04 root, bin, and other system file unable to access under admin.

hello, i'm new ubuntu10.04. i'm running window xp , unbuntu 10.04. ran problem reinstalled unbuntu erasing old 1 under cd boot. during installation, asked me place files , placed in /. when log in single user (only user or other @ login screen) , try change system files, said don't have permission. can't change or access root file. try chmod function , said don't have permission well. please help, thank you.

the simple answer, if haven't done customizing, reinstall. went wrong during installation.

if want try fix, sounds may need use command line , program called visudo permissions back. can go through in simpler terms if you'd like, first let's make sure haven't misunderstood.

when "login single user" mean login recovery console root?

when "only user or other @ login screen" mean? how many users have set on system? trying use sudo under account of first user set during install? or second user, perhaps?
