When ssh-ing (using putty, if that's relevant), I sometimes mis-type my username, and hit enter before I realise my mistake. Once prompted for a password, is there a a way to go back and re-enter my username rather than having to close the console and open a new one?

View 9 Replies View Relatedwhen booting up the system it promts for user and pass. After entering username and password followed by enter the system looks like its going to start. But no, it loads a white page for a couple of seconds and then go back to the section where you enter username & password. Why? the user and pass was correct. If i hit ctrl + alt +f1 and use the same username and password i can login with the CLI. But not in the graphical login prompt. How does such a problem gets fixed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 RelatedI'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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo 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.
after i made the change to my shell type, that from SH to TCH, and back again, i lost my coloring for my file system, if you know what i mean, folders always come in blue, and devices in yellow hope you understand? now everything i do can't seem to differentiated between files colors anymore.
