lordievaderGood morning06:21
farhadhi, i removed myself from sudoers by mistake. and in ubuntu i cant login as superuser to take myself back to sudoers. now i cant install nothing. what should i do?07:43
lordievaderBoot into rescue mode and add yourself back onto the sudoers list.08:36
lordievaderOr add the appropriate break kernel parameter.08:37
lucas-arggooooddd morning10:33
BluesKajHiyas all10:42
farhadi remove myself from sudoers by mistake. and now i cant access to root. and in ubuntu we cant login to root. what should i do?10:49
farhadi cant change any thing on restore mode.10:49
farhadany idea?10:50
BluesKajcan you login to vt/tty . ctl.+alt +F210:54
BluesKajat the login page10:54
BluesKajthen, adduser username sudo10:55
farhadlet me check.10:55
lordievaderfarhad: Why can't you change anything in restore mode? Rootfs being mounted read only?11:01
farhadyes, when i want to change some text file it says readonly11:01
lordievaderfarhad: Mount it read/write, in the recovery shell: mount -o remount,rw /11:06
lordievaderThen edit the sudoers file using `visudo`.11:06
farhadlordievader: thanks. i should reboot my system. let me check.11:07
zorin-osffs i swear someone should make a string to linker symbol converter11:10
zorin-osits so dificult on finding information on how objectcopy/linker converts a filename to a valid symbol definition/name11:11
BluesKajlordievader, I thought he was stuck in limbo, unable to login due to being removed from sudo11:13
lordievaderYou don't need sudo to login ;)11:14
lordievaderIt is just a bit difficult to do root stuff without any login which does have sudo access.11:14
BluesKajImeant the vt/tty11:14
BluesKajin ubuntu root is sudo, right?11:15
lordievaderYes, you can still login there, even without a sudo account.11:15
lordievaderWell, yes and no. Sudo is a way to (temporarily) become root. In Ubuntu the root account is still the root account.11:16
BluesKaj!root11:16
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo11:16
lordievaderOnly it has not password (by default).11:16
BluesKajI assumed since he said he removed himself from sudoers that he couldn't login as a user ot root11:18
BluesKajor11:18
zorin-ostry sudo -i11:20
zorin-osalso how can i replace ascii hex ranges from 000 to 057 then from 072 to 100 then from 133 to 140 then from 173 to 255 with an underscore (ascii 137)11:20
lordievaderBluesKaj: He removed himself (and I think the only user) from the sudoers list. I.e. removed to ability to become root in the traditional sense.11:21
BluesKajzorin-os, that's a good question for ##linux11:21
BluesKajlordievader, yeah it's the root pw that 'buntiu doesn't need11:23
lordievaderIn these kind of cases it can be usefull to have a root pw set.11:24
BluesKajI don't understand why someone would remove themselves from sudoers at all11:24
BluesKajlike debian?11:24
zorin-osi think its possible to reset the root password by chrooting into the distro from another distro11:25
lordievaderI thought Debian came without sudo by default.11:25
lordievaderzorin-os_: There are many ways ;)11:26
zorin-osas i think it puts u as root by default for a chroot11:26
lordievaderLike the rescue-mode.11:26
lordievaderzorin-os_: Yes it does. But there are easier ways.11:26
BluesKajlordievader, it comes with sudo now, but you still have to add youreslf to sudo as root11:31
BluesKajyourself eben11:31
BluesKaj:-)11:32
lordievaderCheck11:32

zorin-oslol13:17
geniiI read that as devils at first13:18
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> either could be right......13:21
geniiHeh13:22
marco-parilloThe devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.13:24
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @BuddyButterfly Glad to hear that :)13:24
zorin-oshow would i compare these: list1=$(find ./UPM/ | sort) && list2=$(find ./testextraction/UPM/ | sort)13:24
zorin-osso apparently it does not copy empty directories into the archive wich would kinda make sence as why add it if it is empty13:47
lordievaderzorin-os_: For your first question, you could dump them to a file and let diff loose on them.14:06
BuddyButterflyIrcsomeBot: welcome! Just felt to give a positive feedback!14:11
farhadlordievader: with your help, now i add myself to soudoers. thanks14:32
lordievaderfarhad: No problem, glad you solved your problem.14:33

OnkelTemHow to set a usb camera as default device for recording?23:09
OnkelTem16.0423:09

OnkelTemMy camera works fine in any software where I can select the cam - vokoscree, audacity23:10
OnkelTembut it doesn't work in Browser or in Skype for example23:10
OnkelTemSo I wonder how to set it up as a default device23:11
