<p>Rhys,</p>
<p>If you just run the commands in Alice's email, that'll run the
command as root. If that works, then run the next command to add
yourself to the dialout group. The command 'sudo' stands for
super user do. In this case the super user is root. On Ubuntu
systems there isn't a root account you can login to. If you want
to do something as root, you can just use the 'sudo' command.<br>
