Allow GUI root login on Ubuntu 22.04

- by Pupli 
sudo passwd
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Inside the GDM configuration file, we need to add the AllowRoot=true line. After you have made this change, you can save and exit the file.

AllowRoot=true

sudo nano /etc/pam.d/gdm-password

Inside of the PAM authentication daemon file, comment out the following line, which denies root access to the graphical user interface, with a pound sign #. You can save your changes and exit this file when done.

auth   required        pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success

reboot

Install .NET Core SDK in Manjaro Linux

- by Pupli 
sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk
sudo pacman -S aspnet-runtime

Then, you’ll need to create /etc/profile.d/dotnet.sh and add the following:

export DOTNET_ROOT=/usr/share/dotnet
export MSBuildSDKsPath=$DOTNET_ROOT/sdk/$(${DOTNET_ROOT}/dotnet --version)/Sdks
export PATH=${PATH}:${DOTNET_ROOT}
dotnet --list-sdks

To use the extra tools, such as dotnet ef, you will want to add a line to your .bashrc file.

nano ~/.bashrc

And add the following at the end:

export PATH="$PATH:/home/jeremy/.dotnet/tools"

source ~/.bashrc
