Looking at his prompt line he is running as the SuperUser already.Sorry to confuse those that are knowledgeable.

I was commenting on Fire$torms 'root@' prompt. I do the same thing as you on my prompts when giving command line help.Not really. It's just shorter to type that than the full prompt I normally see.
BOINC Sees it - BOINC DOES it!
But truthfully we should both use the "$" which is a true non-admin user prompt. It just doesn't come across quite right all the time that way.

In Ubuntu when admin powers are needed the system asks for a password and there is one instruction for being a super user but always with password.

OK, I think I fubar'd the install. Not sure what I did so I'm not bothering with it. I'm going to create a new VM and start from scratch. Once I learn something here then I'll go back and try to fix the old VM.

I hate Linux with a passion
I haven't used Linux in quit awhile but figure I'm going to have to suffer the Pain & use it if I want to get to 100 App's for the WUProp Badge. I'm in a Linux OS right now (Ubuntu 12.10) that I installed on a Bare Drive so I don't mess up a Windows Drive. Anywho I can't even find the freakin Terminal, I've been searching for it for an hour now but it's no where to be found, and I wonder why I hate Linux ...
EDIT: I found it by Goggling, or found how to get it to show anyway

No expert either, but go to the top of the taskbar and look for the icon marked Dash Home. Open it and type Terminal in the search bar. It should magically appear. Then just drag and drop it to the taskbar and it should be there whenever you need it.I hate Linux with a passion

Okay I'll try that later, I unhooked the Linux Drive & re-hooked up the Windows Drive because Berkley is down right now & I can't download the latest Linux BOINC Manager. I could install the one in the software package but I want to go with the latest one available if possible. When I can get it downloaded I'll run the Linux Drive again ...
Yup. Unity sucks for novice users.I hate Linux with a passion

Ubuntu: It'll be real clean to hide *everything* and just have the user type what they want in this "Dash Home" search tool.
User: But what If I don't know what you *named* the crap??!!??!?!
Dash Home does also have a "browse" kinda mode. Just click on Dash Home and then look at the icons along the bottom. The second one from the left will show you "Recently Used" but more importantly "Installed" App lists. Just click on the "See more results" next to the "Installed" one to see everything you have installed. That at least gets you the full list, although most folks won't like that it can't be organized into folders in there.
Okay I'm back in the Linux OS, I found an alternate site for the Linux BOINC Client Download. No Dash Home to be found, I know I seen that some where but can't find it again ...
It looks like BOINC 7.052 is installed in the Home poorboy Directory but I'm getting this when trying to start the Manager:
