(Good morning friends,
I have some issues with my laptop (running Ubuntu 10.04).
The mess am in started while i was trying to resize my windows7
partition which was asking for more disk space.
I have since failed to login as root
1. I tried instructions on
http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub,
and got;
/"recordfail
insmod ext2
set root=’(hd0,5)’
search -–no-floppy -–fs-uuid –-set 54a8a14e-c5a8-4adf-b3a2-3c6aeffb7\3cb/
/*linux /boot/vm linuz-2.6.32-24-generic
root=UUID=*//54a8a14e-c5a8-4adf-b\3a2-//3c6aeffb73cb //*ro splash quiet
splash*
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic/"
2. I did a boot recovery and was able to change the root passwd. I also
succeeded at logging in as root at boot level but later on failed while
using the GUI.
I have also realized that at the login screen (GUI),
1. user (user) fails to login but does in the terminal
2. jmuyimba (administrator) logs in with any passwd (am wondering why)
3. m4duser (administrator) logs in at the terminal
Thanks guys and have a very outstanding week!
