| vychune | and my bank dropped me today | 19:22 |
| vychune | this RAID tthing is killing me | 19:24 |
| wrst | vychune: how are you doing? | 20:02 |
| wrst | vychune: hardware or software raid? | 20:03 |
| vychune | ubuntu server is installed | 20:03 |
| wrst | ohh you got it going then??? | 20:03 |
| vychune | forgot the password | 20:03 |
| vychune | =_= | 20:03 |
| wrst | vychune: why did you do that??? :) | 20:04 |
| vychune | is there a default root account pass | 20:04 |
| vychune | ? | 20:04 |
| chris4585 | on ubuntu? | 20:04 |
| wrst | does server have the option to log in to a root shell from grub? | 20:04 |
| vychune | probably entered it wrong twice | 20:04 |
| vychune | idk let me see | 20:04 |
| chris4585 | run 'sudo su' to get into the root account | 20:05 |
| wrst | vychune: that's the easiest way log in as root from grub do your password thing if that is in server i can't recall because on my little projects i set them up then put them in a box | 20:05 |
| wrst | chris4585: i don't think he has his user password? is that correct vychune? | 20:05 |
| vychune | correct | 20:05 |
| wrst | vychune: i think my method is the easiest if it works if not i think you can use a live cd and chroot or something like that but thats over my head | 20:06 |
| vychune | now how do i do that? | 20:06 |
| chris4585 | oh well from grub I think you can append bin=/bin/bash to the kernel? line and boot into root | 20:06 |
| wrst | vychune: should be a recovery option | 20:07 |
| vychune | ouch grub never showed | 20:07 |
| wrst | oh you have to hold down... shift? | 20:07 |
| chris4585 | init=/bin/bash *** | 20:07 |
| chris4585 | http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34462/why-does-linux-allow-init-bin-bash | 20:08 |
| wrst | yep vychune hold down shift | 20:09 |
| vychune | ok | 20:09 |
| wrst | yep chris4585 i think there should be an option in the "recovery" of ubuntu that does that automagically for him | 20:09 |
| chris4585 | ah cool | 20:10 |
| chris4585 | appending init=/bin/bash makes me feel like a badass | 20:10 |
| vychune | fml | 20:11 |
| wrst | or i think that is correct | 20:11 |
| vychune | shift didnt work | 20:11 |
| wrst | vychune: not getting to the grub menu? | 20:11 |
| vychune | no sir | 20:11 |
| chris4585 | hold shift, worked for me | 20:11 |
| wrst | from what i saw you hold shift down from when you start until you actually see grub | 20:11 |
| wrst | http://askubuntu.com/questions/60278/how-do-i-get-the-grub-menu-to-display | 20:11 |
| wrst | of nothing else works you can likely use a live cd mount the disk, then edit grub.cfg | 20:12 |
| wrst | and change the time from 0 | 20:12 |
| vychune | ok | 20:13 |
| wrst | well changing grub.cfg is not reccomended in the least so be sure not to do that unless you back it up 15 times!! | 20:14 |
| chris4585 | that is why I don't like grub 2 | 20:15 |
| wrst | vychune: i have found that if using a usb keyboard you may have difficulty with such things as this | 20:15 |
| vychune | now you tell me | 20:15 |
| vychune | lol | 20:15 |
| wrst | try a ps2 keyboard if you have it and it has the option, it shouldn't be a problem.. but... might eliminate some trouble for you but if all else fails the livecd and edit the file is not a bad way to go | 20:16 |
| chris4585 | I didn't know about the shift thing, I was always use to esc for grub 1, I always just edited the grub.cfg for grub2 | 20:21 |
| vychune | where is grub.cfg | 20:21 |
| chris4585 | /boot/grub/grub.cfg I think | 20:21 |
| wrst | yep | 20:22 |
| wrst | vychune: http://altinukshini.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/404/ | 20:22 |
| wrst | vychune: be very very very careful about editing grub.cfg! | 20:22 |
| wrst | and BACK IT UP | 20:22 |
| wrst | this is the file you would actually want to edit, I think: http://askubuntu.com/questions/87409/i-cant-get-grub-menu-to-show-up-during-boot | 20:23 |
| wrst | but you have to be able to run update grub | 20:23 |
| wrst | and without being in your system or chrooted etc you can't do that | 20:23 |
| chris4585 | grub 2 annoys me, menu.lst was so much easier | 20:25 |
| vychune | backed as grub2.cfg | 20:25 |
| vychune | here goes | 20:26 |
| wrst | yeah vychune i don't think you will find a grub2 expert so always backup backup and backup some more | 20:27 |
| vychune | oh yeah he wants a GUI on this thing | 20:28 |
| wrst | servers shouldn't have gui's even windows has figured that one out somewhat | 20:28 |
| vychune | what should i givce him? | 20:28 |
| vychune | lol ok | 20:28 |
| wrst | not to put a gui on it | 20:28 |
| wrst | cyberanger: you should be proud^^^ | 20:28 |
| vychune | LOL | 20:28 |
| chris4585 | lol | 20:28 |
| wrst | vychune: actually there are some options set it up where the daemon doesn't start on boot and you have to actually start x or gdm or whatever you use | 20:29 |
| wrst | i don't know how to do that in ubuntu, in arch i edit one file and bob's your uncle | 20:29 |
| chris4585 | rc.conf <3 | 20:30 |
| wrst | yep it may now be a pain in the rear to install chris4585 but it sure is easy to configure | 20:30 |
| chris4585 | yep, did you hear the new arch install method doesn't have the ncurses menu anymore :/ it isn't that much harder, wasn't really hard before with the menu but just makes me sad lol | 20:31 |
| vychune | lol | 20:32 |
| vychune | system booted | 20:33 |
| vychune | no grub | 20:33 |
| wrst | no menu? | 20:34 |
| vychune | no | 20:34 |
| wrst | yeah chris4585 that's a pain | 20:34 |
| wrst | vychune: :( | 20:34 |
| vychune | :'( | 20:35 |
| wrst | vychune: i'm not for sure what line in grub.cfg you need to edit to be honest but thought it would be obvious | 20:35 |
| wrst | but looking at one its not! | 20:35 |
| wrst | and just wait until UEFI!!! | 20:35 |
| vychune | is there a password file i can change? | 20:36 |
| vychune | i wanna disappear right now | 20:42 |
| vychune | can i get list of users from here? | 20:46 |
| chris4585 | wrst, I think the file is actually /etc/default/grub | 20:48 |
| chris4585 | http://askubuntu.com/questions/136094/ubuntu-boots-but-gives-no-screen | 20:48 |
| wrst | chris4585: yep but you ahve to run update grub for that to take effect because everything runs into grub.cfg | 20:49 |
| chris4585 | ah, grub2 is way too annoying | 20:50 |
| vychune | i need prayer | 20:51 |
| vychune | lol | 20:51 |
| vychune | update-grub runs | 20:52 |
| vychune | server livcd chroot for you | 20:53 |
| chris4585 | vychune, did you change the timeout option? usually its set to 0 if you don't see grub, mine is set to 5 | 20:53 |
| vychune | hidden timeut or timeout? | 20:54 |
| chris4585 | hrm.. that is a good question, honestly I'm not sure, I would consult google lol | 20:55 |
| chris4585 | hidden timeout isn't in the old grub | 20:55 |
| chris4585 | I don't think | 20:56 |
| vychune | GOT GRUB!!!!!! | 21:03 |
| vychune | NOW WHAT? | 21:03 |
| vychune | sorry caps lol | 21:03 |
| chris4585 | LOL I'm so happy for you, because I felt like I wasn't helping | 21:04 |
| vychune | lol | 21:04 |
| vychune | o_O | 21:05 |
| chris4585 | o.o | 21:05 |
| vychune | user not found | 21:05 |
| vychune | oreo?!?!?! | 21:05 |
| chris4585 | oreo? | 21:05 |
| vychune | s/oreo/oro | 21:05 |
| chris4585 | lol | 21:05 |
| chris4585 | uh well that seems odd, did you get into the recovery menu alright? | 21:05 |
| vychune | yeah | 21:06 |
| vychune | the user i need to change the pasword for isnt there lol | 21:06 |
| chris4585 | thats good, but weird | 21:06 |
| vychune | or misstyped lol | 21:06 |
| chris4585 | is the old home dir still there in /home? | 21:06 |
| vychune | the user should be fredremmers | 21:07 |
| vychune | its ferdremmers | 21:07 |
| vychune | LOL!!!!!!! | 21:07 |
| chris4585 | lol | 21:07 |
| vychune | how do i chagne the username? | 21:09 |
| chris4585 | hrm hold on | 21:11 |
| chris4585 | I believe there is a command that can change the username but the /home/<user> would still be the old one | 21:13 |
| chris4585 | vychune, this is geared towards arch but I believe its fairly the same for ubuntu https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_username | 21:13 |
| vychune | cannot lock etc/passwd | 21:14 |
| vychune | ughhhh | 21:14 |
| chris4585 | so is it just a server to play around on? | 21:18 |
| vychune | no | 21:19 |
| vychune | client | 21:19 |
| vychune | 300 dollar job | 21:19 |
| chris4585 | ah | 21:19 |
| vychune | only money for two weeks | 21:19 |
| chris4585 | I'm gonna clean, so bbl | 21:26 |
| vychune | ok | 21:26 |
| vychune | 0o/ | 21:26 |
| netritious | well missed that whole ordeal :/ sorry vychune | 22:00 |
| netritious | i think for hidden grub it's ESC | 22:05 |
| netritious | brb | 22:10 |
| netritious | shift works | 22:23 |
| netritious | timing is tricky ona default ubuntu install though since GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set to 0 by default :/ | 22:24 |
| netritious | going to sleep. vychune hit me up via email. I'll have some time tomorrow after 4pm to swing by if still needed. | 22:27 |
