Hi,
How can I root privileges on the ssh experiment? I can not install Cups and edit /etc/hosts ….
Hub
It’s not mentioned:
Searching for root returns nothing

Like with any other Linux distribution, using sudo.

Thanks for your replies!
Nope. Sudo does not work.
I get this error: Can not resolve host homey-pro-sandbox: no address associated with hostname.
Because of this error I can not save changes to /etc/hosts, where I would solve this …
Any solutions?

That’s a warning, not an error, sudo works just fine:
$ sudo id
sudo: unable to resolve host homey-pro-sandbox: Name or service not known
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

Hi,
It does. But I get errors when I want to download and install packages. And I can not update the packagelist.
So it is useless … I only want to install cups.

It’s just a glorified Docker container so its use is limited anyway, and it’s still suffering from an issue that I reported to Athom months ago, namely that /tmp has the wrong permissions.
Try this:
sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
Then try again.

Thanks for your support,
Now I was able to install Cups with Airprint.
But … I can not use it. I only have 20kb discspace …
So I can not print anything.
Cheers,

Homey isn’t a generic Linux computer, the SSH experiment is fun but useless. Just get a proper Raspberry Pi or something.
True,
My PI is working fine.
