[03:30] <alpha_> I just built a desktop using a ssd to instal ubuntu 14.04, I have two xhds that I removed from their enclosures and plugged into sata3 ports on my mobo. They are partitioned in either fat32 or ntfs because I used them on a windows sys. Is there any way that I can get ubuntu to recognize my files and read/write to the disk?
[03:31] <alpha_> on checking the bios, only one of the two drives i have in my mobo that arent the boot drive are being recognized. Is there also a way to do something equivalent to a windows check disk?

[20:05] <DammitJim> do you guys know how I can change the password of a user (the only user on a box)?
[20:05] <DammitJim> I've tried recovery mode and single user mode, but passwd : command not found!
[20:05] <DammitJim> what am I missing? it must be something silly
[20:19] <DammitJim> nevermind... it's a grub thing
