Connect Network

First, check whether the network connection is successful

Add user

If you do not add here, after you install the desktop, no user login screen appears (root user does not appear in gdm login screen)

And the use of root privileges can be dangerous

useradd -m -g users -s /bin/bash xxxx #添加xxxx用户，用户名你自定义
passwd xxxx #为xxxx用户设置密码

## configure a new user sudo privileges

vim /etc/sudoers #编辑配置文件

In root ALL = (ALL) ALLadd under xxxx ALL = (ALL) ALL; input :wq!forced to save and exit vim
