[13:41] <towolf> hey. i just start a long copy operation from ubuntu-gnome live usb. the screen just got locked and i don't know how to unlock the screen for "Live session user"
[13:41] <towolf> does it have a password set?
[13:42] <pchoo> towolf: IIRC user is user and passowrd is live
[13:42] <towolf> doesn't work :(
[13:44] <pchoo> try ubuntu as the username
[13:44] <towolf> ubuntu:ubuntu
[13:44] <towolf> ubuntu:live
[13:44] <towolf> user:live
[13:44] <towolf> live:live
[13:45] <towolf> none of these work
[13:45] <pchoo> ubuntu:
[13:45] <towolf> ubuntu:
[13:45] <towolf> nope
[13:45] <pchoo> no pwd?
[13:45] <pchoo> Hmm
[13:46] <pchoo> ctrl alt f1 and sudo passwd ubuntu ?
[13:46] <towolf> but what is the default username, somebbody should know?
[13:46] <towolf> there is no console that is without getty login
[13:48] <towolf> i'm rsyncing 2 TB and have no way of knowing when it completes, because i got locked out of the desktop
[13:49] <pchoo> Have you tried logging into tty1 with ubuntu: ?
[13:50] <towolf> yes, yes.
[13:50] <towolf> i just did soft reboot with ctrl-alt-del and will re-do it, this time not after setting a pw myself.
[13:50] <towolf> ... not without
[13:50] <towolf> thanks

[13:51] <towolf> > If you want try the GNOME Classic session on the live CD, set a user password before logging out.
[13:51] <towolf> this tells me that no password is set.
[13:57] <jbicha> username is ubuntu-gnome, leave password blank
[13:59] <jbicha> set a user password? I wonder who wrote that
[14:00] <jbicha> yeah, that's not necessary
