I was using windows xp, then I've installed ubuntu using the windows installer that [URL] offers. Before the installation begins, the program first asked me about the user name and the password that I want to set. but nothing about the root password. Later when i tried to sign in as the root, the password i've provided didn't work for the root, but it works with my normal user name. So now I want to sign in as a root.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used Zorin, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu. Even though Kubuntu was my favorite because of the KDE platform, it still didn't have what I was looking for. With Debian, the KDE platform works great, it uses KDM instead of LightDM, (you can do more with that), and the choices of software for setting it up as a server is great. The problem I having right now is with the root privileges. With the other Debian based systems I used, root privileges was not a problem. When I signed in, it was with my user name and my root password.
Every time I did updates or installed software, it ask me for authentication which is my root password. And if I had to use su or sudo commands in the terminal it ask for my password. I had no problem with that. I'm just as big with security as any Unix based system users. And Linux has that. That's one of the big reasons I left Microsoft Windows for Linux. There was times when I had to have full root privileges for just a short time, and my favorite command was sudo nautilus. This was perfect.
For example, sometimes I had to get in to the opt folder for a brief moment to past a web page in it. Opt is a root folder. It can be opened with out a root privilege, but you just can't past files to it. Sudo nautilus was perfect for this because it is a temporary root privilege. Close the terminal and the root privilege session ends. This is great. You don't want root privileges all the time you're log in. That can be dangerous because it's a high security risk.
With Debian, I have not been able to get any root privileges. And without root privileges, I can't load much needed software, can't access my second hard drive, matter of fact, the second hard drive doesn't even show up. I can't really do much of anything. Is there something I can do when I am installing Debian to fix this or how do I get the root privileges I need?

I have been recently been using Ubuntu machines in my faculty labs at university that have % as the terminal sign for the line rather than the location.
For example,
% kate &
% echo "helloooo" > hello.txt
%
I find this extremely annoying as I am used to % being replaced with a path to the current directory followed by a $. Like a default Ubuntu install.
For example,
james@james-pc:~$ cd Documents
james@james-pc:~/Documents$
I would like to know if there is an easy way to change this to what I am used to? I don't necessarily need the "james-pc" bit, the username would be nice but I really want the path to the directory.
I was curious if there was a way to maybe change the orange page graphics when ubuntu 10.10 opens to the log in. That color is really hard on the eyes and I figure it might be a background graphic that I could maybe replace to something less bright.

how I would sign multiple files in ~/sign/unsigned and output them to ~/sign/signed with the orignal file name? The two issues I'm facing are
A.) I don't know how to sign all the files at one time in a folder using signapk or jarsigner
B.) When I do sign and individual file I don't know how to keep the same name from input using *.file (the wildcard) and keep the original name in the output.
There are 71 files i need to sign and make sure they all are signed with the same key at once. Individually signing them one by one would take too long because after I sign them individually I need to go and rename the signed file with the original name.
Here is the code I use to sign an individual apk file:
cd ~/sign/unsigned
java -jar /home/andrew/sign/signapk.jar /home/andrew/sign/certificate.pem /home/andrew/sign/key.pk8 ~/sign/unsigned/*.apk ~/sign/signed/signed.apk
how I can keep the original input name to the output without having to rename them and then how could I sign multiple files at once?
I just installed 11.3 and everything works beautifully, but for some reason I can't sign in to Picasa. Everything works fine in Picasa, but when I sign in I get an invalid password message. I know the password is correct because I can switch to the browser and sign in with it, but for some reason it's not working within the program.
Has anyone else had any issues with this? I searched, but the problems with other user's Picasa programs seem to be with the program not working at all or crashing.

I just installed 10.04 on my Alienware. If I plug my headphones in it does not mute my laptop speakers. I have lurked the forums read a few suggestions that involve modifying the Alsa-base.conf file but when I try and modify me it doesn't give me the option to save. I'm assuming because I'm not root but shouldn't it give me the option to sign in with my password to allow modification?
I've installed alsa and tried clicking the headphones button and it just mutes everything. If I unmute the headphones click disappears there is no sliders for the headphone option. I have a HDA Intel : Realtek ALC889A.
