Hello,

I am new to openrisc community and i wanted to try the system on the atlys board.

I am using the Ubuntu VirtualBox-image (using virtualbox on windows 7 64b platform).
I then installed ISE13.2 (in order to use atlys board) into the usual path (.
In order to communicate and load mcs or bit via iMPACT into the atlys board, i need the digilent plugin.
So i installed the Adept runtime and utilities but when i try to install the plugin, i have the "permission denied" (i need to copy some files in "opt" directory.)

I'm administrator with openrisc user account but i'm not root on the Ubuntu VirtualBox-image.
Is it possible to have the root password or do i need to install all the environment by hand on my own linux to have root privilege ?

I also tried to download again the virtualbox-image and run and type "su -" on a terminal but, again, no permission.

openrisc@openrisc-VirtualBox:~$ su -
Password:
su: Authentication failure

thanks in advance for your reply

Hi,

Use "sudo su" instead and supply your regular password. That will make you root
