Code:
$ sudo mrfixit_update.sh

So I can still update the system as my other user.

thanks again. All the best for 2020!

It's a good idea to add sudo and include your user by group membership to sudoers. If for nothing else but these occasions.
If you want to then change a forgotten root user password, "sudo su -" gets you a root shell with environment, and then a regular "passwd" will change root, without asking for previous shadow entry.

This also helps when you are running things that sudo has difficulty with - such as some scripts. I hate editing these to prepend extra "sudo" commands to lines.

Thanks for your hints.

Adrian
