[03:08] yes [03:09] then when you boot into that, run 'passwd ' replacing with your username [03:09] then it'll ask you to create a new password [03:13] extra steps if lvm or dm-crypt are used, but I don't think you've done that [03:17] hey wrst [03:17] hey cyberanger... unplugged my server and didn't realize it until now :) [03:17] not yet done with setting back up my allways on system [03:17] whoops [03:17] linuxman410: did that help? [03:17] cyberanger: sounds like you are on process then? [03:18] on process? [03:20] uhh cyberanger... i have no clue what i just said [03:20] but sounds like you are progressing ? :) [03:20] cyberanger now user or root password does not work [03:21] cyberanger u still here [03:21] linuxman410: you ran 'passwd ' from the recovery console, it prompted you to create a new password and repeat it [03:21] and that password didn't work? [03:21] wrst: sorta [03:21] yes [03:22] * cyberanger thinks for a moment [03:22] cyberanger i cannot even login to system now root or user [03:23] did you modify root's password, did you set one at install (you no longer have to for squeeze) [03:23] that should not have modified root, unless that was the user you selected [03:23] yes i set one at install [03:24] and you did not modify that, right? [03:25] yes i changed it to [03:25] no none of them work [03:26] that's not a normal lockout then [03:26] cyberanger can i change user password in recovery mode [03:26] yeah, that's what I was having you do [03:26] passwd [03:27] were you not doing that in recovery mode? [03:28] ok i am logged in but how do i install programs without root password [03:28] your at a root prompt now [03:29] and passwd should already be installed [03:29] no at user prompt [03:29] $ not #, really? [03:30] cyberanger the only way i can get to root is in recovery mode [03:30] Are you not in recovery mode? [03:30] not now i am in user mode [03:31] after i changed password [03:31] so it did work? [03:31] yes but how do i install programs without root password [03:31] with sudo, but I take it you hadn't yet set that up [03:32] so it sounds like you'll need to go back to recovery mode, and run 'passwd root' as well [03:32] i setup a root password during install that i forgot [03:32] yeah, from recovery console you can reset it [03:34] with 'passwd root' [03:35] trying now [03:35] got it thanks [03:35] so all is well? [03:36] linuxman410: that fixed the issue? [03:54] cyberanger how do i install x so openbox will work [03:54] sudo apt-get install xorg [03:54] err, since I doubt you have sudo [03:55] apt-get install xorg sudo [03:56] * wrst may get kicked...
