| shakes808 | Hello all | 00:44 |
| shakes808 | been looking for a way to reset my root password. I keep finding the same way that won't work for me. Go into recovery and passwd <name> and then set pass. When I get the root shell open it prompts me for the admin pass. That is what I am trying to change because I forgot it. :\ Anyone help please? | 00:46 |
| jrwren_ | we use ubuntu, we don't use a root password | 01:05 |
| jrwren_ | we use sudo | 01:06 |
| jrwren_ | can you sudo? do you know your own password? | 01:06 |
| shakes808 | that is what I am trying to get into :\ haha | 01:06 |
| shakes808 | I don't remember my own password to get into the machine | 01:06 |
| shakes808 | I am logged in as guest searching the internets | 01:07 |
| shakes808 | and keep finding the same thing over and over by different pepple | 01:07 |
| shakes808 | people | 01:07 |
| jrwren_ | can you boot single user? | 01:07 |
| shakes808 | ? what do you mean by single user? | 01:07 |
| jrwren_ | runlevel 1 ? | 01:08 |
| shakes808 | .... | 01:08 |
| shakes808 | I don't know what that is. | 01:08 |
| jrwren_ | should be as simple as adding "single" to the kernel command line | 01:08 |
| shakes808 | Guest doesn't have any permissions to use command line but to look around. | 01:08 |
| jrwren_ | kernel command line. | 01:09 |
| jrwren_ | so you would reboot and type it in the right place in grub | 01:09 |
| jrwren_ | grub does make it a little tricky | 01:09 |
| shakes808 | I will try that.I will be back in a little while :\ haha | 01:10 |
| jrwren_ | good luck | 01:10 |
| shakes808 | Thank you | 01:10 |

| shakes808 | is what i found | 01:10 |
| shakes808 | too | 01:10 |
| shakes808 | jrwren_ didn't get to a kernel cmd line | 01:20 |
| shakes808 | :\ | 01:20 |
| shakes808 | When I click on the shell prompt it asks me for a administrator password or hit Control-D to return the the menu options | 01:20 |
| shakes808 | Is there a way to get passed that | 01:20 |
| shakes808 | The instructions that I keep finding are like this: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/02/reset-your-forgotten-password-quickly.html | 01:25 |
| shakes808 | but in the second screenshot where it has root@ubuntu... I get that different message | 01:25 |
| jrwren_ | shakes808: i'm unsure. single user always works for me. | 02:00 |
| jrwren_ | shakes808: short of that, boot a live CD, mount the filesystem and edit /etc/shadow | 02:01 |
| jjesse | everyone watching sharknado tonight? | 02:02 |
| jrwren_ | no, just watching peopel tweet about it. | 02:03 |
| jrwren_ | i'm watching TED talks and reruns of The Newsroom | 02:03 |
| rick_h | ok, I didn't look at this yesterday thinking 'big deal' but now that I watch it...freaking cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=syJq10EQkog | 12:17 |
| snap-l | Good morning | 13:20 |
| rick_h | morning | 13:20 |
| rick_h | from the rv dealership wheeee | 13:20 |
| snap-l | Woo wooo | 13:22 |
| snap-l | That helicopter is pretty cool. :) | 13:22 |
| rick_h | yea, you can tell they got a real biker for it. Crazy to think of the forces that he's swinging in those wings. And love that the quadcopter is the latest/greatest in designs like that | 13:23 |
| snap-l | http://slashdot.org/topic/datacenter/hp-keeps-installing-secret-backdoors-in-enterprise-storage/ <- Why? | 13:41 |
| snap-l | I swear, HP is working hard to become irrelevant | 13:41 |
| jcastro | wow that is awesome | 13:47 |
| jcastro | That's one way to market Ceph | 13:48 |
| snap-l | jcastro: No kidding | 14:10 |

| snap-l | Ifi this had a Thinkpad nub, I think this would be rick_h's new laptop: | 17:02 |

| greg-g | snap-l: that keyboard sucks | 17:03 |
| greg-g | WHY IS EVERYONE GOING TO STUPID MACBOOK AIR KEYBOARD DESIGN?! | 17:03 |
| greg-g | "you know, fewer keys the better, and make this not responsive, that's good" | 17:04 |
| jrwren | because its a nice KB | 17:12 |
| greg-g | is not | 17:13 |
| greg-g | :P | 17:13 |
| brousch | jrwren++ | 17:14 |
| greg-g | OUT! | 17:15 |
| greg-g | OUT YOU HEATHENS! | 17:15 |
| brousch | They have the best touchpads too | 17:19 |
| snap-l | heh | 17:22 |
| rick_h | apple does have the best touchpads | 17:23 |
| jrwren | omg, touchpad alone is enough reason to never buy a nonapple laptop. | 17:25 |
| rick_h | stop using a touchpad and win! | 17:27 |
| brousch | I prefer the nipple too | 17:28 |
| jcastro | Out of all the stupid thing that laptop does | 17:31 |
| jcastro | you point out the keyboard | 17:31 |
| jcastro | nevermind the dumb rotating display | 17:31 |
| snap-l | I think the display is pretty cool | 17:40 |
| snap-l | It's better than some of the idiotic convertible systems I've seen out there | 17:40 |
| greg-g | jcastro: that was just a given :P | 17:51 |
| greg-g | jcastro: also, I'm just still burned from the Dell XPS (typing on it now) | 17:51 |

| snap-l | Ubuntu hard-codes the distribute version into virtualenv? | 18:35 |
| snap-l | (maybe it's not Ubuntu-specific, but that's a bit strange to me) | 18:35 |
| rick_h | why does that matter? Since no one would ever copy/move/shift a venv around? | 18:35 |
| snap-l | It would matter if you were building new virtualenvs and wanted to use a later version of distribute without running an upgrade step | 18:36 |
| snap-l | since the package ships with 0.6.24 | 18:36 |
| snap-l | and MySQL-Python 1.2.4 wants 0.6.28 | 18:36 |
| snap-l | or higher | 18:36 |
| rick_h | snap-l: because the virtualenv version is tied to the pip version and might break if things change? | 18:37 |
| brousch | I thought distribute installed into the virtualenv, so the virtualenv version determined the deistribute | 18:38 |
| brousch | Maybe I'm thinking of pip | 18:38 |
| rick_h | brousch: no, it's there. It's included in the virtualenv.py file | 18:39 |
| === [afk]PainBank is now known as PainBank | ||
| snap-l | possibly. But you can do an easy_install -U distribute to upgrade it | 18:49 |
| snap-l | But yeah, it ships with it's own version of distribute. I was just wondering if it's possible to upgrade it | 18:51 |
| snap-l | I'm just getting a little tired of my machine being the special case because I stick with the default packages. | 18:52 |
| snap-l | Some days it's not even worth trying to code out of the paper bag. ;) | 19:47 |
| rick_h | lol | 19:48 |
| rick_h | "hmmm, this looks like a book reading day" | 19:48 |
| snap-l | WEll, what should have been a pretty easy "adapt this code to do this" turned into a bit longer | 19:50 |
| snap-l | especially when I adapted the code, and then pretty much used less than 10% of it | 19:50 |
| snap-l | and that's being generous | 19:51 |
| rick_h | O...M...G https://twitter.com/frailgesture/status/355797117681410048 | 21:24 |
| snap-l | ho le fuk | 21:41 |
