| xubuntu79d | Xubuntu Newbie blocked from my home system after "upgrade". Old password refused.\ | 00:13 |

| xubuntu79d | I have ~11" remaining now on library station. | 00:14 |

| drleviathan | in the past I've been able to overwrite the password info in the shadow files | 00:18 |
| drleviathan | I boot with liveCD, set the default xubuntu user password | 00:19 |
| drleviathan | then look for the entry in /etc/shadow | 00:19 |
| drleviathan | mount the hard drive | 00:20 |
| drleviathan | find your hard drive's /etc/shadow file | 00:20 |
| drleviathan | copy the password from /etc/shadow into /mountpoint/etc/shadow | 00:20 |
| drleviathan | similarly for the /etc/shadow- file | 00:21 |
| drleviathan | reboot | 00:21 |
| drleviathan | xubuntu79d ^^^ | 00:21 |
| xubuntu79d | My thanks to lev for addressing my problem. Several of his terms new 2 me. | 00:22 |
| xubuntu79d | "liveCD" ? | 00:22 |
| drleviathan | you need to know how to edit system file with sudo privileges | 00:23 |
| drleviathan | "liveCD" = bootable CD. You boot the system on the CD, don't install | 00:23 |
| krytarik | xubuntu79d: Are you sure it's actually "refused" to begin with though? | 00:23 |
| drleviathan | most DVD installers have a "live" option | 00:23 |
| xubuntu79d | Now I am down to short time, will try to print this page. | 00:24 |
| drleviathan | maybe this link: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-lost-root-password-on-ubuntu-16-04-xenial-xerus-linux | 00:25 |
| drleviathan | just search for "how to reset ubuntu password" or something | 00:25 |
| drleviathan | xubuntu79d, the "liveCD" is a fully functional linux running off of the DVC/CD. You can even browse the internet. | 00:30 |
| drleviathan | It doesn't mess with your hard drive... unless you intentionally do so. | 00:31 |

| xubuntu29i | Hi everyone! It's amazing that Xubuntu have a chat for support! | 18:29 |
| xubuntu29i | I'm looking forward to lear the basic of linux with this distro :) | 18:30 |
| enyc | Humm, who shoul be IPv6-enabling the xubuntu services please? | 19:21 |
| enyc | canonical have IPv6-enabled on vairous fty anh otherwise, as well as their 91.189. etc [e.g. for www.xubuntu.org] | 19:21 |
| enyc | the wiki.xubuntu.org, on linode, needs tohe server advin to turn on IPv6 with linode (NB: be careful of IPv6 forward-formimed reverse-DNS to avoid email trouble), and add AAAA-pointers there. | 19:22 |
| flocculant | enyc: try #xubuntu-devel :) | 19:23 |
| flocculant | I didn't get to you quick enough in #u+1 | 19:23 |
| enyc | ubuntu-mate website/wiki are both IPv6-enabled =). | 19:25 |
| flocculant | good for them - as I said - wrong channel | 19:26 |
