I tried MX Linux on a Ventoy stick to access a Windows OS drive and I kept getting "needs authorization" It would not access. It kept saying I had the wrong password. I was using my sudo password.
Maybe I did not enter a root password on setup. I tried "demo" for password and it worked.
I guess "demo" is the default password for root in MX or something? Curious
Ok, the Ventoy stick is using MX live but I'm sure I have my own sudo password. Still curious.
Oh, well . . . need to try again.
