How do I return to admin mode in fedora?
0
I am new with fedora. When I logged in to the terminal my name ended with "~]$" but after I did these two operations "cd /tmp" and "cd .." my name now ends with "/]$" and I can't do much anymore. Can't even do the "touch foo.txt" call.
[master@localhost ~]$ cd /tmp
[master@localhost tmp]$ cd ..
[master@localhost /]$
and from the last line of code, I can't do anything anymore. What happened? How do I get the "~]$"-ending back?
