[09:44] <faekjarz> Hey there! I run Ubuntu Mate 16.04 in a vbox VM. Every 10 minutes, the screen blanks, although screen saver is configured to kick in after 2h (i don't know how to completely disable it), energy management is configured to keep monitor always on, vlc is configured to suppress screen saver, and that energy saving suppression applet thing i added to the panel is also engaged. So why the funk does the screen blank after ten minutes? (It _is_ th
[09:47] <faekjarz> …my intention is to completely disable screen savers ans monitor energy saving stuff …have i missed something?
[09:56] <faekjarz> i ducked and found this, i'll try it: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/stop-the-screen-from-blanking-in-ubuntu/678

[15:58] <ubuntu-mate> is anyone here?
[16:11] <ubuntu-mate> hello all
[16:11] <ubuntu-mate> I need some help with my linux machine
[16:16] <Chet> ubuntu-mate: what seems to be the issue?
[16:16] <ubuntu-mate> I changed my user name and hostname with /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and I can't login with the new user name
[16:19] <ubuntu-mate> is there a way I can get to the new username with my ubuntu live usb thumb drive?
[16:22] <Chet> ubuntu-mate: not sure man. im kinda a noob myself. any luck searching the interwebs?
[16:22] <ubuntu-mate> no not yet.
[16:23] <ubuntu-mate> do you know how to change your password
[16:23] <alkisg> ubuntu-mate: you can boot with the live cd, then chroot to your disk, then use passwd to change your password
[16:23] <alkisg> Google for live cd chroot change password, I'm sure you'll find a nice tutorial with screenshots etc
[16:23] <Chet> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[16:24] <alkisg> ubuntu-mate: also, don't manually edit passwd and shadow, you may break things
[16:24] <ubuntu-mate> yeah they are broke now...lol
[16:25] <Chet> http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
[16:25] <ubuntu-mate> guess thats how you learn is fixing what you break
[16:25] <alkisg> ubuntu-mate: you might have automatic backups in /etc/passwd-
[16:25] <alkisg> With a dash at the end
[16:26] <alkisg> `sudo diff /etc/passwd /etc/passwd-` will show you the differences
[16:26] <ubuntu-mate> how do I get access to that from the live usd key
[16:26] <alkisg> Click on the Locations menu and then click on the disk so that it gets mounted
[16:27] <ubuntu-mate> im in the ternmal now
[16:27] <alkisg> Use the menu it's easier
[16:28] <ubuntu-mate> the menu in the terminal
[16:29] <alkisg> No, the ubuntu mate desktop menu
[16:29] <alkisg> The one you use to go to your documents, places etc
[16:29] <alkisg> You can mount disks by just clicking that menu
