Question about changing RunLevel

Post by polaskaroid » 2015/03/28 12:19:43

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to change my RunLevel and this is what I got

Code: Select all

[polask@localhost ~]$ systemctl get-default
graphical.target
[polask@localhost ~]$ systemctl set-default multi-user.target
Failed to issue method call: Access denied
My user is already the Administrator, why am I still getting Access denied ?

Thanks in advance for the help.

What do you mean "Administrator"?
Make sure he is "root".

When you set up a user as an "aministrator" during the install it just means it is added to group wheel and can use sudo. You didn't use sudo so you cannot change the default runlevel.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
