    " You are attempting to install "system-install software" more information is needed to do so"
    "Authenticating root"
    I do not have this password and have tried both bios passwords and my current users password to no availl.
    The webcam also appears not to work online but does when I~ test it on the desktop. The O.S isMozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Any help would be great,
    Many thanks
