User Account Control (ERROR) [SOLVED]

[Gamer]

Hello Everyone , I'm new to BackBox OS . I downloaded the .iso file of BACKBOX LINUX 2.01 and I have VM player ,  using it I ran the OS in the VM Payer .
The problem I'm facing is that whenever I click on any GUI application , the screen changes to User Account Control screen where I enter the username and password and again I log on to the system without the GUI application starting  and because of this I can't access any tools installed in the OS and can only access terminal without the UAC being popping up.
Okay , here is the detail with the pics of how I get this thing

PIC - 1


I select the first option " Try BackBox without Installing "
Then , on the terminal . I enter " sudo -i " to enter into the root and the change the password by " passwd " command
After , this

PIC - 2


I click on the wpscan tool and then suddenly the screen disappears and changes to User Account Screen , where I enter the username : root and password : rootpassword


PIC - 3


Then , I log on to the system screen without the tool actually opening and when I try to click on the same wpscan tool , the same thing happens again.

PIC - 4


PIC - 5


I don't know why this problem is occurring , I tried to search about it on web but I can't find any help regarding the issue.
I have no doubt that the OS is best but it would be great if some experts or the designers of the OS could help me out to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi ,

1. Check MD5 hash of your ISO.
2. Read our wiki : http://wiki.backbox.org
3. Check this wiki post : http://wiki.backbox.org/index.php/Sudo_without_password


And pls, post image link or thumbs, this images are too big.

The problem is not related to MD5 and I have done all the steps listed but it can't help because the "sudo root" command says that the sudo:root: command not found.
So , I can't delete the root password .

[ZEROF]

Try, open terminal :

$su -
password (root)
#apt-get install sudo

[Gamer]

Try, open terminal :

$su -
password (root)
#apt-get install sudo

I have typed #apt-get install sudo  it says that the sudo is up to date so no need to upgrade.So , what should i do now
And , when I type
password (root)
it says "syntax error near unexpected token 'root' "
It would be great if some one could make a video tutorial on it.

Man, it's basic of Linux, we can't learn you how to use Linux, we can help you to solve your problem but we don't make videos for stuff like this.

I will check with fresh ISO from my PC, and i will try to find reponse for you :).

[Gamer]

Can I somehow disable the User Account Control ?
Please any help would be great.

Ok i see ... You have 2 solution.

1. Install BBox inside VMWare
2. Open terminal and type :

sudo visudo

Go to this line :

#User privilege specification  ( ADD NEXT)

backbox ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD: ALL

CTRL+x and click Y then hit Enter.

Edit :

I tested right now and all worked fine. If you have any problems set root ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD: ALL as well. As i have made my own VMWare image and i have installed BBox to 2nd pc, i didn't saw this basic problem coming up for live cd users. Good hacking ;)

Edit2 : Just to say, if you update /etc/sudoers file, you will need to do that every time after login to new live CD session, and that is not good solution. Because of that, just install BBox and have nice life :).

OK, Hold on now, you are using a live session of BB, so you cant go root on it, cause  you can create root account only if you install BB on harddisk, then you can first create a root account by typing : sudo passwd root  , the system will ask you first your login password, then a new unix password and confermation.
after done this you will have to change the Login parameters from Administration session " you will have to set the system to ask you who is going to login, You or root account, you will be able to login as root with the new root password.

Conclusion: you cannot use root session over live cd !!!

Edit: dont confuse between Super user and Root, sudo will only allow you to enter a super user privilages, not root.

Finaly i have found Gamer problem(s).

He use bbox with VMWare and he didn't set memory usage in right way, only 258mb and we need .... If you use bbox with VMWare before you start, set memory (usage) to 512mb min but a propose you 756mb for faster installation and use.
