[05:32] <aplatypus> Greetings folks !
[05:33] <aplatypus> I have a lubuntu live USB here.  I wanted to know the default password for the live 'lubuntu' login
 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)
[05:39] <aplatypus> Hi, there must be one.  It rejected a blank (empty) password.
 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.
[05:41] <aplatypus> Is there a Lubuntu USB download rather than the live USB?
[05:42] <pc_> hi ll

 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?)
[05:43] <pc_> test
 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?)
 You have installed the ssh server and changed the config to allow empty passwords?
[05:46] <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?
[05:47] <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
[05:54] <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
[05:55] <aplatypus> I am good.  It is a very nice distro.  Well done guys!
[06:04] <aplatypus> ... I am gone -- Bye Bye
[06:17] <aplatypus> Hello again, a quick question.  Should sudo prompt for the admin password on the terminal?
[06:26] <aplatypus> time to fly
[10:30] <freebench> guiverc, here ?
[10:31] <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)
[10:32] <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
[10:33] <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) ?
[10:34] <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)
[10:35] <guiverc> you can have an account 'autologin', but a password still exists (for sudo etc)
[10:37] <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)
[10:46] <freebench> guiverc, thx
[10:46] <guiverc> you're most welcome
