I am in need of assistance on the Virtualmin forum regarding the installation of php-gd . Unfortunately, I am encountering an issue as my administrator status is not being recognized. I would kindly like to ask for help in resolving this situation."
Installing that PHP extension is not very difficult, but you need root rights, i.e. the administrator’s password. I don’t understand how the administrator cannot be recognized in that system, it exists there, it has nowhere to go.
“And yet, that’s how it is. I’ve tried everything, even logging in as root, but nothing works. Strangely, from another terminal, everything is fine.”
It’s not clear to me what’s actually happening. You’ve got to post what you did, specifically, and you’ve got to post what happened, exactly, including the exact error message.
Installing a package with your OS package manager as root is an entirely normal thing to do, so if it’s failing, there will be an error telling us why.
So, install from that other terminal, then! You’re confusing me.
Possible answer
Unworking terminal is vmin->terminal
Working terminal is wmin->terminal
The former logs in as the domain user the latter as root irrespective of who is logged into the system. Perhaps on the former vmin should issue a notice this is not a root terminal

Certainly, here’s the translated version in English:
"I appreciate your assistance. To clarify the situation, I attempted to install a package using the system’s package manager with root privileges. However, I encountered an issue during the process. Here’s what happened:
- I executed the command
sudo apt-get update. - When prompted to enter my password, I typed it (
[your password]). - The system responded with the message:
exodarart is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
It appears that my account exodarart lacks the necessary sudo privileges.
Thank you for your assistance and guidance. Your help has been greatly appreciated. If I encounter any further issues, I’ll be sure to reach out. Thanks again!
