[19:20] <Unit193> Seems I may have a pulse, you_
[19:21] <vychune> about to shoot this server
[19:22] <Unit193> Could always ship it to me. :D
[19:22] <vychune> its for a client
[19:22] <vychune> if i dont do this, i will have no money
[19:22] <vychune> and my bank dropped me today
[19:24] <vychune> this RAID tthing is killing me
[20:02] <wrst> vychune: how are you doing?
[20:03] <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> =_=
[20:04] <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
[20:05] <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
[20:06] <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
[20:07] <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 ***
[20:08] <chris4585> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34462/why-does-linux-allow-init-bin-bash
[20:09] <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
[20:10] <chris4585> ah cool
[20:10] <chris4585> appending init=/bin/bash makes me feel like a badass
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <vychune> ok
[20:14] <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!!
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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
[20:25] <chris4585> grub 2 annoys me, menu.lst was so much easier
[20:25] <vychune> backed as grub2.cfg
[20:26] <vychune> here goes
[20:27] <wrst> yeah vychune i don't think you will find  a grub2 expert so always backup backup and backup some more
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <vychune> lol
[20:33] <vychune> system booted
[20:33] <vychune> no grub
[20:34] <wrst> no menu?
[20:34] <vychune> no
[20:34] <wrst> yeah chris4585 that's a pain
[20:34] <wrst> vychune:  :(
[20:35] <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!!!
[20:36] <vychune> is there a password file i can change?
[20:42] <vychune> i wanna disappear right now
[20:46] <vychune> can i get  list of users from here?
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <wrst> chris4585: yep but you ahve to run update grub for that to take effect because everything runs into grub.cfg
[20:50] <chris4585> ah, grub2 is way too annoying
[20:51] <vychune> i need prayer
[20:51] <vychune> lol
[20:52] <vychune> update-grub runs
[20:53] <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
[20:54] <vychune> hidden timeut or timeout?
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <chris4585> I don't think
[21:03] <vychune> GOT GRUB!!!!!!
[21:03] <vychune> NOW WHAT?
[21:03] <vychune> sorry caps lol
[21:04] <chris4585> LOL I'm so happy for you, because I felt like I wasn't helping
[21:04] <vychune> lol
[21:05] <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?
[21:06] <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?
[21:07] <vychune> the user should be fredremmers
[21:07] <vychune> its ferdremmers
[21:07] <vychune> LOL!!!!!!!
[21:07] <chris4585> lol
[21:09] <vychune> how do i chagne the username?
[21:11] <chris4585> hrm hold on
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <vychune> cannot lock etc/passwd
[21:14] <vychune> ughhhh
[21:18] <chris4585> so is it just a server to play around on?
[21:19] <vychune> no
[21:19] <vychune> client
[21:19] <vychune> 300 dollar job
[21:19] <chris4585> ah
[21:19] <vychune> only money for two weeks
[21:26] <chris4585> I'm gonna clean, so bbl
[21:26] <vychune> ok
[21:26] <vychune> 0o/
[22:00] <netritious> well missed that whole ordeal :/ sorry vychune
[22:05] <netritious> i think for hidden grub it's ESC
[22:10] <netritious> brb
[22:23] <netritious> shift works
[22:24] <netritious> timing is tricky ona default ubuntu install though since GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set to 0 by default :/
[22:27] <netritious> going to sleep. vychune hit me up via email. I'll have some time tomorrow after 4pm to swing by if still needed.
[23:16] <chris4585> hey wrst
