Stupid question

How to login to root without setting root password

smoothvibes · 11-18-08, 03:01 AM

you can use terminal and use sudo command for the same

11-18-08, 03:07 AM

like this u mean

sudo psswd root ?

hmmm yeah understood

1 more thing ....... when i logged in to Ubuntu it disconnected my Sify Lan [ and so the internet too] ......... Gonna try again

smoothvibes · 11-18-08, 03:08 AM

sure you ubuntu is very much similar to your previous OS

you have already used Linux OS so i don't think you will find it difficult to work on ubuntu

11-18-08, 03:40 AM

No its quiet diff actually ........... In Fedora Root is always enabled even in GUI ....

Anyways i have isloated the error

The Broadband client [ of sify ] has installed succesfully but when i execute sifyconnect it says

Some linked libraries are missing or some thing ..... I think need to install something

You need to have alien before hand

TO download alien type "sudo apt-get install alien"

Then by alien convert the rpm packages into deb

Download the tar.gz file form http://202.144.65.70:8090/

then go to terminal

type tar -xvf sify_bbclient-3.0.tar

go to terminal

there navigate to the folder to which it is extracted
For instance you have done it on the Desktop

Then

open terminal

Type
1) "cd Desktop"
2) "cd sify_bbclient-3.0"
3) "sudo ./install.sh"

This will install the client

Then type in "sifyconnect"

and this will start the sify client

try the above one..

this is what i was trying to do

when error occured

@mahe

hey i think u dont need alien to convert to deb as it is in non rpm format already ?

have nt slept from yest 1:00am..... think ll die if i dont go to bed ..... pingu mod vishnu and mahe pls hang around tomoro eve .... i ll be needing ur help

Archer · 11-18-08, 03:46 AM

Yeah! I will be here. This might help.

To Install Alien.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install alien

For converting .rpm to .deb. Copy .rpm file to desktop.

Change directory to desktop

Code:

cd ~/Desktop

Code:

sudo alien -k name-of-rpm-file.rpm

To install .deb.

Code:

sudo dpkg -i name-of-deb-file.deb

smoothvibes · 11-18-08, 05:46 AM

ohh vishnu... you are smart man

11-18-08, 06:18 PM

I still cannot connect to internet let me explain

Sify Client has been Successfully installed But

1.)Whenever I log Into Ubuntu It automatically disconnects my Lan Network [which connects me to Sify Server]

2)After installation I try to run Sudo Sifyconnect and get this error message

Quote:

sifyconnect: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please Check the instruction from this site and explain to me what i have not done ?
SifyClient

Archer · 11-18-08, 06:31 PM

I don't know how sify works. But try this. msify - Google Code. You can use a USB drive to transfer file between the OS.

cableguy · 11-18-08, 07:15 PM

for the libssl problem this might fix it:

Code:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.4
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4

Does that require Internet ? [what does it do]

Cause i am not conectted to net thru Ubuntu

Archer · 11-18-08, 09:24 PM

Did you tried this ? msify - Google Code.

11-18-08, 09:27 PM

not yet ...... i am tryting to activate the old client i installed ........ pls check that link and tell me if i need to install something else also ....... [for that old linux client]

Archer · 11-18-08, 09:30 PM

I couldn't access that link.

The client I posted have some good reviews in Ubuntu forums.

Nope doesn't require internet, it creates a symbolic link ( shortcut) to the libssl files on your system. So the program looking for libssl.so.4 is redirected to libssl.so.0.9.8

Though I don't know if openssl files installed on Ubuntu by default

Regarding Archer's suggestion, there are some instructions on how to use it on the site at http://code.google.com/p/msify/wiki/GettingStarted

Thanks man ! i am sure thats the problem cause ...... It did say something about open ssl thingy ....but i ignored it during installation

Pls check this link and confirm SifyClient

Archer · 11-18-08, 10:19 PM

I tried the link with a proxy: Sorry, this URL is invalid http://202.144.65.70:8090/linuxinstall.html.

Give msify a try. Net access is top priority right ? You can install the original client once you get net connection.
