Get the Root user Terminal in Ubuntu

Hi friends,
You may use sudo to execute root user privileged commands in ubuntu.But when you need to execute a series of root user privileged commands,every time you may use sudo and you should give your password too…thats a bit irritating…So by using the following command you can get the root user terminal.

1.$ sudo su
2.Give password

IMPORTANT : BE SURE BEFORE EXECUTING ANY COMMAND IN ROOT USER TERMINAL ..

Forgot username and password in Ubuntu NO PROBLEM ;-)

Hello friends,

In ubuntu you have to remember your USERNAME and PASSWORD for every single login session.Sometimes you may leave your Ubuntu untouched for weeks because of your work. When you want to login after a long period,possibly you may forgot your USERNAME as well as your PASSWORD too.

So what to do now.Do i need to reinstall my ubuntu again.Oh !!! god i have to loss my data.I know most of the users are panicked at these times.But i m here to rescue you friend No more worries….

Jus follow these simple steps to reset your password.

1.Buring the boot up go to GRUB MENU( It shows a list of operating systems                        installed in your hard disk).

2.Select Ubuntu and Press “e”.

3.Now it ll show three lines.The second line ll start with the string “Kernel”.

4.Select this line and press “e”.

5.At the very end of the line add the this string without quotes “rw  init=/bin/bash”.

6.Now press “Enter” and then press “b” to boot up.

7.Now you ll be dropped into a root shell with full permissions.

8.Type “cd home” without quotes.It ll show the list of user names.So Here you can   find forgotten username by using “ls” (without quotes ) command.

9.Now type “passwd ” without quotes.

10.It ll ask new password for two times.Thats all You successfully got your ubuntu back….;-)

11. No more steps…..Keep rocking…..

NOTES: I tried this trick in Ubuntu 8.10.It works fine.But in the root shell it doesnt show the command what you type.Just keep typing and press enter.It ll work.It also accepts only one letter password.You can easily changr your password again after successfully logged in.

Kill the Segmentation Fault

Hai friends,
Have you ever compile a c or c++ program using cc or gcc compiler.Then sometimes you might stuck up with segmentation faults.
Segmentation faults occurs when the program refers to an unallocated memory space.
By default the compiler wont show by which instruction the segmentation fault occurs.So you have to go through your entire program to find the culprit.
It is tough to fix a bug even without its line number.
Here is the simple solution to find segmentation faults,

1.Compile the program with “g” flag.
Eg: cc -g filename.c
2.Type gdb a.out
3.It ll take you to the gdb prompt.
4.(gdb)run
5.Give your input values.
6.When there is a segmentation fault the program will stop there.
7.You can see the instruction which causes the segmentation fault.
8.Type “backtrace” without quotes to trace back the segmentation fault.It ll show a number a frames
which are all the reason for segmentation fault.
9.Type “frame frameno” without quotes (to check a particular instruction).
10.There you can find the values of variables by “print variablename” command.

thats all friends,No more worries about segmentation fault.
cheers,Happy programming….
