Root Password on Alpha 4
Hey Guys,
Sorry if this has been covered, did do a search and couldn't find exact issue. Setup is working great but I have two things I could use a fix for. 1. When using WinSCP to setup new directories, I can't login under 'root' with the default password. I've enabled it via Xbian-config but 'raspberry' isn't working. 2. my Screen calibration is resetting after reboot. Any advice on fixes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andrew |

RE: Root Password on Alpha 4
Specifically on point one, I want to add a directory of Background images which is accessible within settings - appearance - skin - settings - Enable custom background. (It doesn't allow you to add a source within this path) so I need to be able to add a folder either in the home or root folder.

Got the folder with background images into the Userdata folder via Winscp (permissioned allowed this) then ran the following: Code: sudo su password:raspberry WIN |

Login as root is disabled by default.
Even if you change the root password,the root account still wont work over SSH or SCP. How to re-enable SSH/SCP login as root: Set root password: sudo passwd root -> enter xbian user password -> enter new root password -> repeat root password Enable SSH root login -> sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_conf -> search the "PermitRootLogin" string and set it to yes (if it's commented out remove the # in front of it. Save the file (Ctrl + X) -> Y -> Enter Reboot You now should be able to login as root over SSH/SCP. Greetz |

RE: Root Password on Alpha 4
You first need to set a custom root password in xbian-config, 'cause by default it's not set.

RE: Root Password on Alpha 4
We are not supporting empty password, so you need to set that by yourself.
