[SOLVED] Gnome Terminal fbx user

Support
1

I just installed the Gnome Desktop on the freedombox. It works. But then I wanted to install an app to it and figured out, my admin account, which I logged into the Gnome Desktop with (the account with full permissions you create as the first user) is not sudo on this gnome Desktop.
Instead Gnome prompted me with a passwordbox for the “fbx” user. In the plinth user menu, there is no user “fbx”
Gnome says, that the user fbx is admin but the account is disabled

What can I do and why is my account not sudo?

See issue #2524. Another user resolved this problem by adding the admin user to the sudo group.

I will try that. But the user is already in the sudo group. At least when I use the terminal in cockpit

Being able to use the “sudo” command from a user (can be done by adding configuration in /etc/sudoers) is not the same as the user account being part of the “sudo” group (in /etc/group). So, the solution will likely work.

Ah cool
Thanks
I haven’t come around to trying that yet, as school is pretty stressful right now
But I appreciate it
