Raspberry Pi now requires password for sudo #201

Description

@geezacoleman

In the latest update to Trixie (version 6.2), Raspberry Pi have decided to end passwordless use of sudo for all users. The reasoning being that it was a big security gap - anyone with access to the device could cause a lot of damage without knowing the password.

It will only request once every five minutes, but for anything headless running sudo it is likely to break.

So the issue for OWL is that the setup script will request a password and dashboards will now break. The fix is to go to raspi-config, System Settings and disable root authentication.

Working on how to fix this more reliably.
