BLASPHEMY! Begone from my C board, you foul lover of objects, before the gods of C cast you into the void as punishment for your weakness! There is no penance for saying such things in my presence. You are henceforth excommunicated. Never return to this house, filthy heretic!
no... I know my admin password.... its pretty much the same as my username password... but how do I log in as admin? just username:admin and pass: my password?
username: root
i seem to have GCC 3.3.4
But how do i start it?
I dont have a menu for it or anything.
ok... now I'm in under the username:root... what do I do about the username that I created durring setup?
while you are in root, open a shell and use the following command
where <username> would be your regular user account name that you cannot access right now. You will be promted for your new UNIX passord - enter it and then it you will be asked to enter it again - then you should be good to go.Code:passwd <username>
in root, you have control over EVERYTHING...you can use root every time you log in, but it's dangerous.....one bad command and your system is wiped clean.....it's recommended that you only login as root when you need to.i suggest that you read up on file permissions and what not. people typically login in with their 'not-so-priviledged" user account for daily computing use. root is mainly for maintanence and what-nots. it will probably take some time to learn when you NEED to login as root, but that kind of knowledge comes with the knowledge of linux itself...don't worry though.... you can always use the command "su" to login as super-user

ok soo... I did the
thing... and it still wouldn't let me in.... said something about my user folder being non existant?Code:passwd <username>
You could try :
adduser username //to readd your user
then
passwd //to set a password for the new user
well, did you create a user folder when you created your user? and did you create your user to use that folder?Originally Posted by Pyroteh
if not, login as root make a folder for your user account (if you didn't already do that), and use this command:note: I've never used fedora before, but I think this is pretty much the same for most linux distros...Code:usermod -d <folder_you_just_created> <user_name>

No. You want the user to have a directory in /home. For example, if you wanted to make me a user with a directory:
mkdir /home/confuted/
adduser confuted
passwd
usermod -d /home/confuted confuted
I think that's right.
Away.
and that did it!!! hehe.. I don't have to login through root... ^.^ sweet thx guys!!
Now, save your files for the user (star office documents, jpgs, etc) in the user's directory in /home. Don't put them elsewhere.
Away.
