View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Safest Way To Change A Username / Login Name
Apr 6, 2010I would like to change my username (or login name) and am wondering what the safest route to do so is. The install is on a headless server, which I just use ssh.There's a) using usermod -l newname oldname. The line in the usermod man that says that changing the login name doesn't change anything else, which makes me think that something else is bound to break. I've also considered b) creating a new user, moving the contents of my home directory to the new user, and deleting the old user. This is kind of cumbersome, but would this be the recommended way to ensure everything goes well (considering I still have to redo some config files).

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Change The Permissions To Username And/or Usernamegroup?
Dec 14, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. Sometimes I have difficulty starting X. The system complains that "/etc/timidity" is not owned by me. Then the system locks up. I checked the permissions. 'root' is both owner and group. Should I change the permissions to my username and/or my usernamegroup? Or, chown and chgrp to root again? I would experiment on my own with this, but since the system already locks up sometimes, I don't want to find myself with an unusable system.

Feb 9, 2011So I'm trying to put together a birthday present for my girlfriend. Here's the background. She just got back from a semester abroad in Rome. She's having a hard time getting used to living in the states again, so I want to make her a photo album with all of her pictures from Italy and the rest of Europe. Its a surprise, so I can't just get them from her. I've got her Time Machine, which has all the photos on it (I'm 'debugging' it for her, she's not so tech savvy). I've found the pictures folder, but I don't have the permissions to access it.
So the question is, I have her username and password, what do I have to do in order to read the file with all the pictures in it? I'm not a crazy stalker, in case you were wondering, I just don't know how to change my username to one that have permissions for the folder.

Apr 10, 2011I haven't used Linux very much, so I'm not sure how to do this. I'm presently running the 2.6.24-26 version of the Linux kernel on Ubuntu. However, I need to upgrade to 2.6.32. I have the source files (arch, block, firmware, drivers, kernel, include, etc), but I have no idea how to change the source of the kernel, or if there's an easier/automatic way to do this, and I specifically need the 2.6.32 version.

Jan 1, 2011To run my other linux distros on another drive I have been manually entering the kernel and initrid info for each distro on the opensuse yast boot loader. For windows 7 it just runs the mbr on the drive windows 7 is on. However I can not get it to do that on the other linux drive. The problem for me is that on every kernel upgrade I have to manually change the info. I would rather have grub on the sdd linux disk take care of it on the upgrades. The drive that holds the other linux versions is sdd. Opensuse is on sdc.

Oct 19, 2010I installed Intrepid on my netbook a few months ago, and since I'm the only one who uses it I decided to set it to log me in automatically. Unfortunately, I recently realized that for whatever reason, even if I disable screen lock in configuration editor, it still wants my password (which I can't remember for the life of me). To solve this problem, i ranCode:sudo usermod acidicninja --password <new password>Two problems: the new password doesn't log me in, and my root password no longer unlocks root! I'm in deep trouble... is there any way to reset the root password without reinstalling?
