_Techie_you can sude -s to get a root login if like04:28
cortanasudo kkkkkkkkk04:28
likemindead!root04:29
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo04:29
takeoutso like 'sudo apt-get install pen15'04:29
cortanawell that work i think04:30
cortanayes  it worked thanks a lot04:30
_Techie_likemindead- you can set a root password via sudo passwd -u root04:31
cortanaok thanks04:31
_Techie_likemindead- then there is a spoon... i mean root password04:31
Geoffrey2hey folks, I can't get my freshly installed copy of xubuntu to connect to my wireless router.....05:01
Geoffrey2it's a laptop, previously had ubuntu on it, and it connected fine....I did a new install of xubuntu, set up the device driver....it tries to connect, then requests the password, which I've already provided....05:03
Geoffrey2I have two other computers that also connect wirelessly, and they are having no problems at all connecting....05:03

RoyBI did a sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop from my regular ubuntu 8.04. After that I can no longer log out or switch user without the screen to turn black (instead of showing the login screen) and the system seemingly becomes unresponsive. This is occurs when the ATI-driver is enabled. Any suggestions?19:44
likemindeadGet NVIDIA, RoyB. ;-)19:48
likemindeadWhich version of Ubuntu?19:48
RoyBlikemindead: 8.0419:55
likemindeadStrange. :-\19:55
likemindeadI'd try various ATI drivers, I guess.19:57
RoyBI guess I could try that. Not sure how much effort  I'll put into it. It's an old machine and has no potential to be a graphical monster anyway. But I found it pretty cool that compiz worked so well after all - until...20:03
