Apt update && apt upgrade - Permission denied

[cyeit]

I have recently upgraded to FreePBX 17 and was doing the usual updates post installation.

When I try to do System Updates it says to do via the Linux command line

But when try and run via SSH I am getting permission denied errors

I cannot login as root as I did not have the option to set a password during the install from the ISO, only for the user “sangoma”

What happens when you try to sudo to root?

I am not very experienced in Linux commands, so not sure what “sudo to root” command would be

Some googling did give me the command to set a password for root, but login is still denied for root

You do sudo su -

Thank you, that allowed me to run the commands.

Your help much appreciated
