When Karishma and I came back to Lemur today, we found that the local user account was impossible to get into, the password was not what we had set it to, so we logged in as root and changed luser’s password (passwd luser), but even then we couldn’t login to luser. But when we looked into the System Preferences about the users, the luser account had a different length than we were expecting, and it said that we had logged in 8 minutes earlier. So that’s confusing.
Then when we were in, we couldn’t get the network running. After a bit of googling, since
service network status
didn’t work. We found someone that told us
systemctl restart NetworkManger.service.
for Fedora 19. From this website, https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/32861/how-do-i-get-networking-to-work-after-using-hibernate/ So we did that, and then eth0 was connected.
Going through the rest of the startup script is confusing, since some commands have changed and others are no longer valid.
Even though I had changed the /etc/fstab, the new items weren’t mounted. This is because of the network configuration.
We copied the flat files, /etc/group|password|shadow. And then we were about to login and with /students mounted we could access our accounts.
Then Erin decided to try to restart. That went…badly. The UI is really slow, and we could no longer login from the console, just like what had happened to luser earlier. But we could still ssh into the machine. We googled some to find that gnome was the process that was breaking. 🙁 but we can still ssh to do some digging around.
