Re: [Trisquel-users] sudo passwd doesn’t change password
Thanks is indeed a good point. Some times one tend to forget that the man pages are there for a reason. Many thanks. All the best for you and all the forum.
Re: [Trisquel-users] sudo passwd doesn’t change password
Whenever some command fails to perform, read its manual page. E.g.man passwd
Re: [Trisquel-users] sudo passwd doesn’t change password
My completely fault I didn't mention the user which was what I wanted and used to do. The fault is mine. Many thanks onpon4! Answer to your question: why are you trying to do it from the command-line? It's easy to answer that: I use very often the command line, it's more practical, is more fast is more "power-user". Why I would go opening windows till de System Setting menu if I can do that in the command line so much more fast/practical/geeky??? Common... Many thanks anyway onpon4. hugs
Re: [Trisquel-users] sudo passwd doesn’t change password
That command sets a password for root, not for your user account. If you want to change the password as a user other than root, you need to specify the username. In your case, "passwd brutal08". Or you could just do it from the System Settings menu; why are you trying to do it from the command-line?
