Can't Login as Root After Ubuntu Installation Root Login Disabled and VNC Password Input Issues

    Every time I install Ubuntu on my Netcup server I’m unable to log in via SSH using the root account because PermitRootLogin is set to false by default in the SSH config.

    So I try using the VNC console, but since I can’t paste the password there and typing it manually is difficult because it multiplies the text i type I get stuck.

    I’d like to know

    Is there a recommended way to enable root SSH login during or right after installation?

    Or is there a way to paste text into the VNC console on Netcup’s interface?

    So there is only a root user and it can’t login? When I install Debian password is disabled when I choose keys to login but root can login using those and then create the sudoer user and disable root login as it should be. I never used the VNC so don’t know about that.

    HelloWorld.react 500MB of node_modules, and dependencies.

    That's interesting. If you're using an Ubuntu ISO image for the installation, PermitRootLogin won't be set to 'false'. Or, if you're using a Netcup image, you can upload a certificate for logging in during installation. In both cases, you can log in as root afterwards.
