If you buy Raspberry Pi
and download Raspbian “wheezy” image then dd
it on your SD card,you will be allowed to login using username pi
and password raspberry
Using sudo
will enable you to do all you want.If you are annoyed to use sudo every time, and would like to have root access then, do below
# vipw
change line
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
to
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
after this change reboot Raspberry Pi and after boot,enter root as username,press enter and you will have root access.After this change root password and you can now login directly as root.This is not rocket science,but could be useful for some Raspeberry Pi users
My Raspberry Pi is as below
root@pi:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo Processor : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l) BogoMIPS : 697.95 Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xb76 CPU revision : 7 Hardware : BCM2708 Revision : 000f Serial : 00000000e1cf7b1a root@pi:~# cat /etc/issue Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid \n \l root@pi:~# cat /etc/debian_version wheezy/sid root@pi:~# uname -a Linux pi 3.2.27+ #250 PREEMPT Thu Oct 18 19:03:02 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux
