cicerohow do I recover my lost password in lubuntu?06:47
hateballcicero: Set a new one from root recovery console06:48
hateball!password06:48
ubottuForgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords06:48
cicerothanks, busy now trying07:06

BluueeHi23:14
BluueeCan somebody help me? 😲23:15
wxl!ask | Bluuee23:15
ubottuBluuee: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience23:15
BluueeOh. So, i just installed Lubuntu on an old machine that had Windows 7 already installed. There is a ethernet cable connected, but only the Windows is connecting (automatic), but not the Lubuntu.23:19
bobsmith83_got some (hopefully) easy noob question: how to I mount attached drives? and why don't they mount automatically?23:42
lubot<tsimonq2> /command !fstab23:45
lubot!fstab23:45
ubottuThe /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions23:45
lubot<tsimonq2> That :)23:46
lubot<tsimonq2> And just `sudo mount /dev/sdX#` where sdx# is the name of the partition you want to mount.23:46
bobsmith83_ran the command mount, and dont see any /dev/sdX.  i dont get it23:49
bobsmith83_I'll check out this links though, thanks23:49
wxlyou can't mount something that isn't mounted23:49
wxlrather you can't see a partition name for something that isn't mounted23:49
wxl`sudo fdisk -l` will show you all connected drives regardless of whether or not they're mounted23:50
bobsmith83_thats helpful indeed.  told you i was a total noob23:50
bobsmith83_everything is labeled /dev/mmcblk0p1  ... thru p12.  why?23:52
bobsmith83_plus, /dev/mmcblk0p1 type says "microsoft basic data".  this is a linux only machine; do I have a microsoft virus??!23:56
wxlso that's probably an sd card23:57
bobsmith83_maybe.  i thought i didnt need to format, but do I?23:58
wxlthey're usually FAT32 (i.e. MS)23:58
