| Mark8 | can anyone tell me where I can find the information to install 19.04 over 18.04 without loosing what I have? | 12:59 |
|---|---|---|
| studiobot | <kornhelius> Why do you want to install over a LTS version? | 13:21 |
| Mark8 | no reason really, just want to see what’s new | 13:38 |
| studiobot | <kornhelius> Ok. I would recommend: first backup your /home folder.... then if possible set /home as a separate partition... then you are safe to upgrade | 13:47 |
| MarshallT | if I want to upgrade from studio16.04 to studio 18.04 do I do it through the software updater or some other way? I don’t want it to put regular ubuntu 18.04 on my machine. And yes I'm new to this trying to learn. Thanks! | 15:24 |
| studiobot | <kornhelius> yes.... usually there is a "software updates" tool... an there you can tell it to update | 15:26 |
| MarshallT | ok so just like the updater in regular ubuntu? | 15:27 |
| studiobot | <kornhelius> yes | 15:27 |
| MarshallT | ok Thank you! | 15:27 |
| paul40 | I am installing Ubuntu Studio 18.04 LTS. It won't let me log in as root! What is going on? | 23:52 |
| paul40 | I ma trying to log in as root through the console | 23:52 |
| Eickmeyer | paul40: Login as root on any Ubuntu is disabled. Login as your user and use sudo. | 23:54 |
| Eickmeyer | !root | paul40 | 23:54 |
| ubottu | paul40: Do 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/RootSudo | 23:54 |
| paul40 | The link you refer me to says that the root password is locked by *default*. I think this is to prevent newbies from hurting themselves. I'm OK. Is there a method to unlock the password? | 23:57 |
| Eickmeyer | paul40: There isn't one. It's completely disabled in all Ubuntu systems. | 23:58 |
