Fangtooth: you don't have the needed permissions to talk to the incus daemon

Apps and Virtualization

My Windows VM just crashed again and it is not listed in Instances and I get the “Validation” error when I go to the instances tab.

Before my recent reinstall I could go to a shell and list the instances and force stop but now when I try and do any Incus command I get this error: “truenas you don’t have the needed permissions to talk to the incus daemon”

I am logged in as truenas_admin. Before I was using the root account.
I have tried su in shell but it says authentication error. How do I set a root password?

OK - ignore this I worked it out myself.

I enabled root password, set a password, went to shell and stopped the instance.

The other option (that doesn’t require a root password) is sudo -i as the admin user. You might need to tick the box for that user to allow it to do so.

Thanks Dan I’ll give that a go
