I have uploaded the tar.gz file to my cloud VM and try to use the system and it will not let me have root privledges. 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.
OK we are talking about GCP Cloud Base right? Because I am.
