¤ The Complete PW Package ¤

as far as logging out goes just type "logout" without the quotes....
and after that fget the su commands as u will not need them as a root user
To make root account:
sudo passwd root
........
after done type logout
log in as your new root user


Note : even though it mounts as read only you will still be able to cp the files i belive gimme 10 min nd i will verfy.

Edit:..srry it took so long but yes you can use the cp command even though it is read only...
Note: after running said command the console does not do anything untill it is finished.....it can take a while depending on ur server machine....

Thanks a ton :D
Since I'm a noob at this, I'm just gonna ask something.
after typing logout, how do you log in? is it going to be there as a choice?
..yes, I'm an idiot at this.
Edit:gonna google it first
Edit again: Tried to do it, since I already HAD sudo passwd root..but, I did this, and this is what I tried and got (oh yeah, decided to name the ubuntu MeowMeow. XD):
sudo passwd root
sudo: unable to resolve host MeowMeow
password for meowmeow: "password entered"
Enter new UNIX password: "password entered"
Retype new UNIX password: "password entered again"
passwd: password updated successfully

So now what? :X
I tried "logging out", manually, as in going back to choose the account, but all I had for options were:
MeowMeow (my original one), and "Guest".

:S
Erm..new at this..yeah, so would really appreciate an answer, and very thankful for the replies already :O

Yup. Is that bad?
Should I reinstall it, a different version?>.< ( I installed the 32 bit, Ubuntu desktop version, 12.04..
If I have to remove it, how do I do it? ;-;...)

If not, what should I do about it?

Tyvm for replies once more :D

Erm.....
Woops.
Shows that I'm new at this D:
Anyways, how would I get rid of the desktop version, then?
DO I need to get rid of it, or can I just install the server version on top of that?
:X

Well, I hope you answer soon: Right now, I tried installing the server version..on..yet another pc. XD
There's a bunch of choices, should I choose Open SSH or DNS or LAMP or MAIL or Virtual machine host or manual package selection or postgressql database or print server or samba file server or tomcat java server..
>.< Setting it up, i guess il go with open ssh if no reply D:

Uhm, you'll need openssh anyhow...

Kay......so, I chose that and finished installation.
Upon reboot, and succesfully logging in, it gives me a black screen, command prompt etc..
is that what I should get? what do i do from there? >.<
ty btw.

Also, how would I mount the server from an ISO? Do I have to use a disc? (did I need to download ISO previously, if so, where do I put it?) :S

I would like to make a random appearance on this thread as I am in need of help, if someone could please help me. I installed it, got to the point of getting it to where I could run the ./start.sh to start the pwAdmin. Well everything starts within that process but when i try to connect to it i get 503 connection error. I changed the ips in the 3 files said to the one of the machine(going from localhost to 10.0.2.15). This is all done on 12.04 lts server :X... sorry ebil i cannot answer your question

Did you have net access on that machine? if its a VM make sure its not set to host only......nd by local ip they men the ip of the vm/pc its running on.......type "ifconfig" and it will give u ur ip......... (the only place you need to put your Wan IP is where it asks for it...I forget the exact file)

When I use a vm i mount the iso
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
cd /cdrom
cp -R * /
......when I switched to actual machine I burnt the iso and then mount the drive using
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
cd /media/cdrom
cp -R * /

Note:the console will not do anything while copying this can range anywhere from 2 min to 30 min depending on your pc.

I do have access to internet on the virtual machine. I tried with host only(haha), and also with nat. I tried the ip i got with the "ifconfig"command in the machine, no dice 503 error, and i tried with the hosts ip as well and it had given me the same error.

@ebil, he pretty much answered you, but i mounted the iso with damien tools since virtual box wouldn't mount the iso normally. In which case mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom is the code i used, the copy command being the same. It will say block device is read only but its still mounted, and can be found at /mnt/cdrom.
