      I always got an error message when running commands with sudo on my ubuntu touch device (Volla Phone).
      Then I decided to connect via SSH out of curiosity and the login just worked fine with the device PIN.

      So the problem was related to the input method on that device.

      Just for completeness, maybe this helps some users that wonder why sudo fails.

        Hi, @ubports-user
        This issue seems to be specific to the volla phone.
        It works fine with my N5.

            I am using the FP2 and am stuck with the terminal: Starting the application, it asks for authentication and neither phablet, ubuntu or the pincode/passphrase works as root password. Can't even type in terminal because the authentication screen is on top and without getting through it won't let me access terminal. How can I fix this?

              @benkov Whatever your unlock pin/passphrase is, is what you need to type into the authentication dialog when opening the terminal app.

                @dobey and that is exactly the problem I am facing and why I am seeking help here: it does not work. the pin which is set to unlock the phone does not work for authentication.

                  @benkov Then there is some other problem, such as the wrong thing being entered, because this is exactly what is expected and it does work (I just double checked on my nexus 4).

                  In either case, it has nothing to do with sudo. You might want to open your own topic in the Fairphone 2 ports section instead, but it sounds like something perhaps done to your phone itself.

                      @benkov @cregox just some questions ...
                      1 : does the terminal keyboard looks like this and display the good language choice ?
                      2 : does the type of unlocking suit to what you think ?
                      3 : does the keyboard language suit to what you think ?
                      4 : did you unset the automatic correcting (good practice) specially if you have a passphrase instead of a pin code ?

                        @pulsar33 on my volla i never had passphrase, nor pincode. just slide to unlock.

                        i managed my risks in another fashion.

                        everything else (from your screens) i had setup as i wished.

                        just wanted to know the default password...

                        but also, i may have found out a solution to one of my issues mostly related to this, can't recall exactly where now:

                        mount -o remount,rw /.

                          @cregox I think default password for UT is: phablet

                          Redmi Note 9S Stable
                          If God has a computer, it must be a GNU/Linux

                              If you did not set any protection I don't think you can use sudo...
                              That would be the same as running always as root : bad

                                @applee sudo works just fine.

                                sudo su do too.

                                  Some of the possible values could also be phablet ,1234, a , 0000. redmi note 3 (kenzo) has default password as a

                                    Thanks! I was wondering what default sudo password was.
