I use 'su' and the system wants me to enter a password. IDK what the password is. IS there a way around this? When you first booted the VM, there should be a way to see the console. In the startup text, it will print out a randomly generated root password. Using cloud-init, you can drop a file in /etc/cloud (I believe) to set up custom behavior, but by default you get an autogenerated root password. I assume part of your setup was to put a ssh pubkey so you were able to log in? That was most likely done with cloud-init, although I think GCP has its own suite of tools that does something similar. -- Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
