| aplatypus | Greetings folks ! | 05:32 |
|---|---|---|
| aplatypus | I have a lubuntu live USB here. I wanted to know the default password for the live 'lubuntu' login | 05:33 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> There is no default password for live session - just boot up the image and you enter the desktop (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <aplatypus> I have a lubuntu live USB here. I wanted to know the default password for the live 'lubuntu' login) | 05:37 |
| aplatypus | Hi, there must be one. It rejected a blank (empty) password. | 05:39 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> What version and of Lubuntu? and where downloaded? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <aplatypus> Hi, there must be one. It rejected a blank (empty) password.) | 05:40 |
| aplatypus | this is the 21.04 I put ssh on here to do some tests. | 05:40 |
| aplatypus | Is there a Lubuntu USB download rather than the live USB? | 05:41 |
| pc_ | hi ll | 05:42 |
| aplatypus | <waving> | 05:42 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> No - all the images of Lubuntu boot up "live" and then you either test or install the system - the user "always creates the password at install" (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <aplatypus> Is there a Lubuntu USB download rather than the live USB?) | 05:42 |
| pc_ | test | 05:43 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> see installation instructions here https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.3/installation.html (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <aplatypus> Is there a Lubuntu USB download rather than the live USB?) | 05:44 |
| lubot | [telegram] <aptghetto> You have installed the ssh server and changed the config to allow empty passwords? | 05:45 |
| aplatypus | Yes -- I understand that install step. I want to login via ssh BEFORE I go to all that trouble. | 05:46 |
| aplatypus | Empty pass work -- ON the ssh config some place? | 05:46 |
| aplatypus | Actually, no. The password can't be 'empty' because I tried to set one using `passwd`. | 05:47 |
| aplatypus | It rejected the empt RETURN key | 05:47 |
| aplatypus | Good news I found a solution. I used the GUI which allowed me to set a NEW password. | 05:54 |
| aplatypus | And then I am logged in. So perhaps it is an Empty password. But passwd didn't accept just RETURN | 05:54 |
| aplatypus | I am good. It is a very nice distro. Well done guys! | 05:55 |
| aplatypus | ... I am gone -- Bye Bye | 06:04 |
| aplatypus | Hello again, a quick question. Should sudo prompt for the admin password on the terminal? | 06:17 |
| aplatypus | time to fly | 06:26 |
| freebench | guiverc, here ? | 10:30 |
| guiverc | yep.. how can I help? | 10:31 |
| freebench | Can anyone explain this ? "A Lubuntu system won't have a 'root' password though by default" | 10:31 |
| freebench | It doesn't have root password ? | 10:31 |
| guiverc | The root user account is disabled on Ubuntu & all flavors of Ubuntu (it has an invalid password so it's impossible to login) | 10:31 |
| guiverc | Ubuntu and flavors rely on the user account with `sudo` access to elevate privileges | 10:32 |
| freebench | yes, what to do if a system update is needed ? | 10:32 |
| freebench | it asks for sudo pass | 10:32 |
| freebench | not a sudo, but root pass | 10:33 |
| guiverc | login and `sudo apt` etc | 10:33 |
| freebench | what if a user doesn't have password(password is blank) ? | 10:33 |
| guiverc | a password was created during installation; I don't believe it's possible to create one without a password (though yes you can force it blank post-install) | 10:34 |
| guiverc | you can have an account 'autologin', but a password still exists (for sudo etc) | 10:35 |
| freebench | omg, yes, it does "sudo lubuntu-upgrader" | 10:37 |
| freebench | a blank pass is accepted | 10:37 |
| freebench | should be working with "sudo apt" | 10:37 |
| guiverc | you can make `sudo` work without a password (not quite the same thing as no password though) | 10:37 |
| freebench | guiverc, thx | 10:46 |
| guiverc | you're most welcome | 10:46 |
