lab 15.5

I have had this problem with recent labs and have had to reinstall ubuntu from messing it up somehow. When I try to run certain commands in terminal like "at" or "atq" for example, it says not found and to install it and ask my administrator. When I try to install it there is an error and it asks me if I am root. What command am I supposed to put?

In other labs when that happened I said yes when it asked if I am root and I believe that may have been what caused my system to crash.

are you running Ubuntu server or workstation? what version? hypervisor or physical -- etc. Not enough info to explore. I don't really know but I suspect you are running server and the course was not designed specifically for this and therefore not really tested for it.

I am using Ubuntu desktop 64-bit on VirtualBox

This issue was solved during Office Hours

Basically Christy installed Ubuntu 22.04 and created an account, but didn't configured it to use sudo, so she was unable to install software using sudo. But she created a password for the root user, so we added the user to the "sudo" group and she was able to use sudo to install the "at" tool.
