Hello
I am desperate: I just tried to de install kde trinity
and now my sudoers file got deleted, a new generated, but
I do not any longer belong to this group. That is why
I cannot use my PC anymore.
Is re installation the only solution?
thanks

no :)
1st: can you log in as root or switch to root account using 'su -' ?
2nd: you can always install a new sudoers file from a live CD as long as your
file system is not encrypted..

well, you can download a sample file from the internet or, if you still have a

mount your HD first, of course.

sorry for this elementary question: but using the live cd,
can I simple mount like
mkdir tmp
mount -t jfs /dev/sda5 /tmp
Then the HD is writable???

I am very confused but this does not work. I took a
different machine running 10.04 trinity. It has only a root
partion with jfs on it.
So when I boot with my virtual 10.04 Cd and then try to
mount via
mount -t jfs /dev/sda5 /tmp2
Or what ever mount complains:
"wrong fs type or bad superblock":
the usual message of mount when something is wrong.
I have also on /dev/sda1 a windows partion with ntfs. This
one I can mount. So I am stuck.
There must be something very elementary which I miss, but
what?
Thanks

I'd suggest you interrupt the boot loader (grub? grub2?) and
add "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel options, then just boot on. You'll get a
bash in root from where the first thing to do is "passwd". then just reboot
the box and you can get root via "su" and the password.

ok, this sounds like an easy solution :)
I have personally never tried it, though.
as an alternative, you could boot from a live CD which has jfs support built

I used pclinuxos some years back, it was a good experience. However I

I have already a copy of the pclinuxos live-cd. It looks very nice but

live usb (using syslinux) or HD partition

is, it will be installable and expandable but also useful as a bootable
live-image for system tasks, a "travelling OS" on usb or just
demonstration. Requirements are minimal resource usage with a
lightweight and user-friendly DE (thanks TDE)
I support also the (Debian-based) Refracta project. It uses xfce,
probably the best lightweight "mainstream" DE, however TDE remains my
preference for overall GUI functionality. The ExeGNU installer and
snapshot/remaster utility is "forked" from Refracta to suit TDE

Hello David,My approach to my liveCD was to include all the apps someone might need right
on the liveCD, so that I can install it on an older pc without fast internet access
without having to download and install software I need, as LibreOffice and other apps.
One of the advantages of PCLOS over Debian is that (correct me if I'm wrong) I can
install the livecd to a usb key or sd card with the installer without ny problem. Grub is
installed right where it should and the installer does not fail anywhere. The Debian
installer, at least in the versions I tried 1-2 years ago, couldn't install properly
to a usb disk without doing some steps manually.
On PCLOS, I use UNetBootIn (available on Win and Linux) to transfer the ISO image to a USB
key. I boot from the USB key and then I can install the system (with the normal installer)
on the SD card of my laptop (Asus EEE 2G surf) and when I reboot, I choose to boot from
the SD card and it works right as it should.If you want to use UNetBootIn, you should note
that you should do NOTHING on your computer while it is tranferring the files because it
might cause data corruption. If a linux livecd does not boot, re-try to write it again.
I think that the BFS kernel of PCLOS might be what slows down its use on VirtualBox, so it
might be good to use it on a real PC.
I'll try your livecd soon!-Alexandre

Based on previous research, I prepared update for all packages using xine -
amarok, kaffeine, kdemultimedia, kmplayer. In the distributions containing
xine 1.2 are now built against xine 1.2 - Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu Precise and
Quantal. Packages are already in my PPA. Who of you can, please test it. :)

Still no spare Wheezy installation to test 3.5.13.2 pre-release but I
dist-upgraded the live-build's chroot. No problems at all (but I don't
use the kdemultimedia meta,)
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libxine2 libxine2-bin libxine2-doc libxine2-ffmpeg libxine2-misc-plugins
libxine2-plugins libxine2-x
The following packages will be upgraded:
amarok-common-trinity amarok-engine-xine-trinity amarok-trinity bash cpio
cups cups-bsd cups-client cups-common cups-ppdc exim4-base exim4-config
exim4-daemon-light grub-common kaffeine-trinity

libnfnetlink0 libqt3-mt libreadline5 libreadline6 libvcdinfo0 python2.7
python2.7-minimal readline-common tar vcdimager
The xine1 stuff was purged manually. I had expected apt-get autoremove
or deborphan to show it but maybe libxine1-x, previously installed
manually, affected that.
Testing from usb the new live-image, Kaffeine, kmplayer, amarok (and
seemingly everything else) are so far working fine. Not tested
kaffeine's dvb interface yet.
Thanks Slavek, great work
BTW I do have Wheezy+ R14 (nightly builds) installed, not upgraded yet

Hm,
Do you mean: when the grub menu with

Then with Crt-x I boot?
Well this did not work.
I also tried to use

I hope when I retry on Monday with the desktop that this

Maybe you used a wrong minor number (5) or event a wrong
major letter (a).
To me it is useless to give -t to mount Linux filesystems,
it can handle it automatically (verified for vfat, etx2/3/4,
xfs, etc.). This may be required for loop, ntfs, etc. mounts
only.
Moreover, any running livecd distro should also have a (custom)
sudoers file, so just copy and edit (simplify) it to your host
/etc/sudoers.
