Anybody knows how to make sudo with tokens like the old arcade games. I have a little brother which wants sudo but I want it as a reward. Anybody knows how to make something like sudo tokens. Or at least a way to enable and disable sudo remotely.

Am not sure why but I've spent ages trying to hear sound through my speakers with LL, can even watch the indicator bars moving in "Sound Settings".
I've installed virtually every distro in the past on the same box and they all seem to play audio OK with Alsa, so I followed a previous posters advice and unchecked the 'Pulse Audio' box.
(see Thera posting Aug 5 2014  Stopping Pulseaudio:

"Or maybe: Menu->Settings->Settings-manager->System->Session and Startup->Tab Application and autostart->scroll to Pulseaudio.")
)

This also worked for me....but would anyone know why? Hopefully it might help admins.

Tom

I can't remember who posted the original question so here's a new thread with a quick and easy fix.

Scenario: You have more than one user account on your Linux Lite machine and now you want to change someone elses account details.

If you are the primary user and have admin (sudo) rights, open a terminal and do:

Code:
sudo chfn person

where person is the other account login name.
