Set up JRiver Media Center 23 in Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Elementary OS
Awesome Donkey:
Hmmm, I *could* just merge the Debian tutorial into this one, since the only difference is one extra step (adding yourself to the adm, sudo and audio groups).
EDIT: I think I will merge Debian into this one. :D
EDIT 2: Done. The ultimate Debian-based distro tutorial is complete. The tutorial (along with the Fedora tutorial) can probably be sticky'd! :D

Man, looks like gaining su/root access on Debian Stretch is a PITA. Even after setting the root password during installation, you can't get su working without an authentication error.
Basically, you have to reboot to the GRUB bootloader screen (before it boots Debian) and press e to edit the kernel arguments. Scroll down to the line about linux (and has quiet added to the end). After quiet add the following;
--- Code: ---init=/bin/bash
--- End code ---
Then start up Debian by pressing F10. It'll load up to a terminal prompt, so now we'll need to mount the filesystem as read-write;
--- Code: ---mount -o remount,rw /
--- End code ---
Finally, type in this;
--- Code: ---passwd root
--- End code ---
This will set/change the root password. Reboot the computer and su will work now.

Which installer did you use? Were you using a live image by chance? Because they changed the way they make the live images for stretch and they've been pretty buggy this time around.
I did an install yesterday with the netinstaller and didn't have any issues using su or changing the root password, and have done about four or five "normal" installs with the netinst iso, so that may be a safe bet (Assuming you didn't hit this issue with the netinst).
Awesome Donkey:
Yep, live image indeed.
Awesome Donkey:
Man, Stretch is buggy. The netinstaller worked get working around the su issue however there's APT problems in Stretch I haven't solved yet after enabling additional (e.g. updates) repos. Honestly this is one of the worst Debian stable releases that I've used thus far but hopefully they sort this stuff out soon. :P

EDIT: Going to give up on Stretch for now. Too buggy for my liking.
