Hi
I just installed R14 on Ubuntu 14.04 and everything went smoothly. Thanks to the team!
However I opened the control center and I cannot find the user administration tool and am familiar with. Is this included any new package?
Thanks

Is it kuser you're looking for? I think you have to install it manually, or else install tdeadmin-trinity.

You have to separately install some of the admin apps. If one is missing from the control center, you can search for it in Synaptic.

I think that that is basically an Ubuntu programme. Perhaps it uis in Synaptic, if it is no longet there by default.

Lisi; I ran into something else last night using that admin utility. I use sudo for all the root stuff and have never even set a root password.
This is a more of less default wheezy install, and uses sudo for all that stuff.
The password for "admin", eg root, tasks does not accept the users sudo password, asking for the (root? it doesn't say) password in a forever loop. This is a bug. I suspect its TDE wide in effect. And should be filed.
I can generally hack around it with a sudo -i session of geany, (never gedit as it can trash, BTDT, several times, your whole system,) but find that it also does not work because the root acquired in that manner cannot run any graphical interfaces since the X session is the users. So an immortal root session to get several things done, is turned into an individual sudo name_of_command.
That can be a right PITA, even for a user whose first linux install was Red Hat 5.0 in 1998.
There was at one time a workaround which consisted of actually starting another X session for root, a bad practice IMO, and I've long since forgotten how to do it. 80 yo wet ram problems. Yeah, old coot at the wheel here.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

No, Gene, it isn't. You installed that cnc or something special version.

No, it isn't a bug. Just set up a root password. Most of us using Debian (not all, I agree) have one. Google "ubuntu set root password".

Just set up a root password! And do remember, because it seems often to be relevant, you have NOT got a default Wheezy install. (You had issues with that, remember? You found a one person bug!!)

Ok, I had the same issue:
Put this in your .bashrc:
# LinuxCNC SIM alias linuxcnc="xrdb -all -query|sed -e 's#[A-Z_]*BACKGROUND# gray90#' -e 's#[A-Z_]*FOREGROUND# Black#' -e 's#[A-Z_]*HIGHLIGHT# White#' -e 's#[A-Z_]*LOWLIGHT# Black#'|xrdb -merge; linuxcnc"
then run "linuxcnc"

It's something I haven't had to do in 4+ years, feels a bit retrograde, and a different password will confound my usage on the other 4 machines here.

Chuckle, I am a graduate, Summa Cum Laude, of the school that teaches how to do that. I must have got stoned and missed it though, don't even remember taking the course, but I am very very good at that.

:-) I'll let someone else answer that. I use $ pwgen -sy 10
Many would consider that too short, and I'm thinking of lengthening it. But I'm a lousy typist. I'm afraid that I am a fatalist. If they are out to get me, they'll get me. I just like to make them work a little harder. ;-)

Me too, which is why I tend to write my own 20+ char passwords but containing stuff I know so is easier to remember. I will not repeat any of them here for obvious reasons not to mention I'd never be able to re-use such a potion again. And it would tend to give the savvy crackers an insite into how my mind might work, making their job about 10,000x easier.
Suffice to say that I am now locked out of the Nook Color I bought the Missus 2 years ago for Christmas, I set a password that must have been longer than its buffer. Bad dog, no biscuit. :( And it cannot get online after the initial session thru my wifi here, I suspect for the same reason. So she is stuck using its builtin crossword generator, which by now has to have looped thru its dictionary 3 or 4 times. But, it does keep her out of the bars so we're both reasonably happy with that state of affairs. ;-)

Why not just use the universal password ----> password and discard all the non sense?
That's what all my systems use for my root login and user login.
At least I won't forget it no matter how old I get.

Hi,
Not really related to this, but I once went to a client's shop and when I asked what was the password, he said ''no password''. His password was ''nopassword'' :)
Have a great day!

According to the man page for passwd, it varies according to the configuration in /etc/login.defs . Depending on how that file is set up, the max can be anything from 8 characters to unlimited.
Someone else may know what the default settings for your distro are.

But how can I find it?
Till R14, my work-flow was: install Kubuntu, set up eagerly source.list and install trinity as soon as possible to be back in my familiar environment. But since R14 I start to note slight differences. So in order to hopefully install missing packages I need to know how to find them? I don't understand why they are done, they where present in R13.
I had a short conversation with Tim about debian/ubuntu «apt-file search» which does not work for trinity, according to debian/ubuntu bug.
Is there any web based interface similar to the one of ubuntu, the only thing I can find is https://www.trinitydesktop.org/applications.php
Any else?

Menu > System > Package Manager (Synaptic Package Manager). Are you saying tde-systemsettings-trinity is not what you posted a screenshot of?

Is it kuser you're looking for? I think you have to install it
System > User Manager (KUser), default r14 on Wheezy.
And what is with the old one I posted a screenshot of?
Searching Synaptic for "system settings" (title bar in the screenshot) turned up tde-systemsettings-trinity. It's an alternative to the default Trinity Control Center.
