[15:19] <domas> hi! how does one reset root password on intrepid? :)
[15:19] <jrib> !root | domas
[15:19] <ubottu> domas: 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

[15:19] * Mak_ (n=Anderson@mail.ondacorp.com.br) has joined #ubuntu
[15:19] <domas> well, I still stand for my question
[15:19] <gabriel_> romuald> go to this website for instructions on how to install Ubuntu from a Pen Drive: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/10/31/install-ubuntu-810-usb-flash-drive/
[15:20] <domas> I guess I need to elaborate

[15:20] <rickard> How do I show my desktops on a cube? is it a built in feature?
[15:20] * gabriel_ has quit ("Ex-Chat")
[15:20] <domas> sipior: that is the problem, ssh is not up, and I can't log in with keys :)
[15:20] <chilli0> when i updated for some reason my nivida graphics drivers went fubar i was using the ones of the nivida site because the ones that ubuntu restricted have didnt work and failed me.
[15:20] <domas> How does one reset/set root password on intrepid? :)
[15:20] <chilli0> and now i cant install the driver again
[15:20] <mrwes> sudo passwd root
[15:20] <chilli0> i get kernal erroes
[15:20] <Pici> !noroot | mrwes domas
[15:20] <ubottu> mrwes domas: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)

[15:21] <ketilwaa> rickard: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[15:21] <sipior> domas: if you're going to set it, you'd be wise to disallow root login via ssh once you're done.
[15:21] * luis_lopez (n=luis@206-248-171-253.dsl.teksavvy.com) has joined #ubuntu
[15:21] <Pici> mrwes: Then you should have mentioned that we do not support it.
[15:21] <domas> sipior: I know what is wise and what is not :) how do I set root password? :)

[15:22] <mrwes> Domas: if you don't know where to type that, maybe you shouldn't even be setting it, aye?
[15:22] <sipior> mrwes: i was just going to mention that ;-)
[15:22] <domas> 'sudo passwd' doesn't work in grub shell. oh, by the way, I'm not a newbie, tried 'single' 'init=S' and other ways :)

[15:23] * khear has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[15:23] <sipior> domas: if you have access to the machine, why not simply use the account you already have?
[15:23] <domas> kitche: I just need to reset the root password, cause I cannot log into the box :)
[15:23] * RomD (n=roman@dslb-084-057-030-056.pools.arcor-ip.net) has joined #ubuntu
[15:23] <domas> sipior: because I just kickstarted install on it, and after do-release-upgrade ssh does not come up
[15:23] * schnootop has quit (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
[15:23] <mrwes> domas: is it YOUR box?
[15:23] <magnetron> zombie-robot_→ you need to set apache to "bind" to your external interface. this is an apache config issue.
[15:23] * fsufitch1 (n=fsufitch@67.217.141.46) has joined #ubuntu
[15:24] <domas> mrwes: technically no, it is a loaner from a vendor, that has been deployed in datacenter of organization I volunteer my work to.
[15:24] <bove2> Is there a table somewhere of feature comparisson standard vs. server edition 8.10?
[15:24] * fsufitch1 (n=fsufitch@67.217.141.46) has left #ubuntu
[15:24] <kitche> domas: well ubuntu does not even have sshd installed by default unless you added it to the kickstart

[15:24] * zwacky has quit (Client Quit)
[15:24] <magnetron> domas→ do you have physical access?
[15:24] <domas> kitche: it had sshd before do-release-upgrade
[15:24] <domas> magnetron: no, just ILOM :)
[15:24] <sipior> domas: booting into single user mode will allow you to sort that out. or boot from a live cd and adjust the shadow password file as needed.
[15:24] <mrwes> domas: well if they wanted you in there, wouldn't they have gave you the passwd ?
[15:24] <domas> mrwes: well, I installed that box half an hour ago :)
[15:25] * infowarrior has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[15:25] <kitche> yes
[15:25] <kitche> bah ...
[15:25] <domas> and it has my ssh keys installed in it :)

[15:25] * maxriskfactor (n=manish@122.172.37.36) has left #ubuntu
[15:25] <domas> all I need is just a magic grub parameter that would give me shell prompt without asking for password :)
[15:25] * Guest30613 is now known as andi_S
[15:25] * yacc_ is now known as yacc
[15:25] <as> domas, just boot of any live cd, mount your partitions/chroot into them and passwd

[15:26] <domas> as: would be much easier with physical access, and too difficult to set up netboot for that now, easier to reinstall :)
[15:26] <domas> or wait, maybe installer can allow me to reset it :)
