[02:04] <Finnigann> Trying to sort out ROOT password problem. I cannot get sudo to recognize the password. I use Ubuntu 12. It came with a ROOT terminal. I have changed my password (to be sure I am using the right word). No joy. Suggestions?
[02:05] <wilee-nilee> Finnigann, there is no root password only the user password to access superuser admin tasks.
[02:09] <wilee-nilee> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:28] <holstein> !sudo
[02:28] <holstein> !root
[03:40] <duanedesign> yeah root account is disabled bt default in ubuntu
[03:42] <duanedesign> Finnigann: if your user password is not working with sudo you may need to try soething like this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[09:14] <Linus1> Hi, can someone know about u1sync ?
[09:14] <Linus1> it was gone in ubuntuone-client-4.2.0
[09:16] <Linus1> https://launchpad.net/u1sync  , i got it from here.
[13:41] <INVADERSmustDIE> I have ubuntu on dual boot. If i upgrade to the latest version from update manager will this fuckup all partition etc?
[15:44] <collin> ok I'm installing ubuntu server and somehow my tmp file got deleted...it is supposed to have a tmp file right??
[19:20] <INVADERSmustDIE> is there anyone here that can help me understanding basic files and directory commands through terminals in pm?
[19:30] <geirha> INVADERSmustDIE: Why PM? Anyway, I'd start off learning bash first. In which case you want to read http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[19:31] <INVADERSmustDIE> thanks geirha
[19:31] <INVADERSmustDIE> well pm usually because it saves my convo in one window without interferring quit and join messages and i can scroll up and i dont get lost
[19:31] <INVADERSmustDIE> its usefull for people with ADD /ADHD like symptoms
[19:32] <INVADERSmustDIE> I dont know why people dislike query
[19:32] <geirha> Well, the person you query with could be teaching you bad stuff, which likely would've been corrected in a channel
[19:33] <INVADERSmustDIE> touche
[19:33] <INVADERSmustDIE> good point
[19:33] <INVADERSmustDIE> when its not an active channel like this im okay heh
[19:33] <geirha> :)
[19:33] <INVADERSmustDIE> but other channels its like there would be 10 people talking between each line and you have to highlight the person everytime
[19:33] <INVADERSmustDIE> its awful heh
[19:36] <geirha> Anyway, I'm fairly experienced with bash, the standard UNIX commands and Ubuntu and linux in general, so you can ask away
[19:38] <INVADERSmustDIE> heh thanks. well mymain goal was done . I should read linux for dummies. i downloaded it
[19:39] <INVADERSmustDIE> It was for basic cd ~ ls commands that i was reading about https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/basic-commands/C/files-directories-commands.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[19:40] <geirha> Keep one thing in mind though, most tutorials, guides and examples regarding shell scripts on the net are crap
[19:40] <INVADERSmustDIE> I was trying to move an application i installed from the .kde folder to the main home folder. but then another fellow warned me that that would disrupt the application exectution
[19:41] <INVADERSmustDIE> yeah geirha  i always like human assistance while im learning on my laptop just cause i dont feel like ending with the blue screen of death or in this case screwing up my whole ubuntu
[19:41] <INVADERSmustDIE> I ask before i run terminal commands heh. I have 0 self confidence in coding
[19:42] <geirha> That's a good idea; it's easy to hose your system in a terminal :)
[19:42] <geirha> by accident or otherwise
[19:43] <INVADERSmustDIE> yeah hopefuly by end of summer ill be a linux pro
[19:45] <geirha> If you want to read the BashHuide off-line/on paper, I regularly generate a pdf of it:  http://folk.ntnu.no/geirha/bashguide.pdf
[19:53] <INVADERSmustDIE> oh thanks geirha
[19:53] <INVADERSmustDIE> downloading
[19:53] <INVADERSmustDIE> geirha, do you know javascript?
[19:58] <geirha> Not really
[20:00] <INVADERSmustDIE> aww okay C: thanks anyways!
