Linux Sound problem

The livecd probably wont have a password.

If it does it will be a default one which you can get off the net.
 
what liveCD are you using? Sometimes the password is blank, sometimes it is 'root' sometimes it is really goofy. Just go to the website that the liveCD came from and look for it, maybe in a wiki or documentation.

I like the adventure of trying to guess the password, just for fun. Makes me feel all CIA.

edit::: GOOGLE is your friend.
 
I have a Kubuntu Live CD downloaded from Kubuntu.org or w/e it is.

Google ain't my friend AOL Search is :D haha.

:swear: I just farted when I read that :eek: lol!!

For kubuntu there is sudo because they are all high and mighty and can't use the old su. Search the internet for "kubuntu livecd password" or look in the wiki/docs. I know its there I looked it up once.
 
It's hard using using the browser when i am on crappy 1024x768 res.

Don't forget AOL Search :D is everyones freind :)
 
Ok, found, it seems like it's either demo for user and demo for pass, or root for user and root for pass.

You've obviously never had a 10" monitor then!
You dont really use AOL search do you? You wont find anything with that, let alone passwords :eek:
 
why would you do that on a liveCD?

I would think it is better to log in as root when using a liveCD. Or sudo fsck ...
 
Ummm, what about with the installed one, i dint see any menus about root password when installing, so how do i know what the pass is? also, how do i logg in as root?

looks like some harddrive issues.

read this and then do this in a terminal:

Code: 
su
fsck -A

ok, i still cant do that in terminal, i am on live cd now, all i get is this:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fsck /dev/hdb8
fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
fsck.ext2: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/hdb8
You must have r/w access to the filesystem or be root
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
Click to expand...

So, i need to know how to log in as root.

Does the liveCD auto loggin or give you a prompt? If it autologs then log out and log in again as "root" with "root" as password. Or just do what addis said.

maybe you can run fsck with sudo and put in "demo" as password.
 
Ah, thats why lol, there is no root in Kubuntu, i typed sudo fsck /dev/hdb8, the result was:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck /dev/hdb8
fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
/dev/hdb8: clean, 411/1795200 files, 118058/3584495 blocks

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck -A
fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)

do you have just one linux partition, excluding swap? If you have more then do the same to all of them.

I have a feeling that it might be your partition table that is broken. That is never good. Did you run fdisk on the drive?
 
Ok, i did one for hdb11, here is the result:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck /dev/hdb11
fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdb11

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

All of them are not there, infact the only mounted partition/drive is the DVD.
