Hello,
I havn't used Ubuntu in quite a while and i see there are alot of "Updates" available for download, but when i try to run them i get an "Authentication" error!
And there seems to be 2 sets of passwords in play as my regular password request popup works fine but when i go to these "Updates" the system seems to be asking for a different set of UserId/Password?
So just the same i followed the "pyscocat" root approach to changing my password and when i did a passwrd bob it asked for a new Unix password and ect and i then got an error when trying to to that! and i think i see where others were confused by the Admin "None" setting which i think has something to do with this, so out of total frustration, i'd like to do a complete "install" of the Ubuntu CD, but in trying to do that i keep getting back into my current Ubuntu setup, even after hitting F1
So can anyone please tell me how i can reinstall from my Ubuntu CD and completely start from scratch, with whole purpose of making sure i use the same Userid/Password for all of the requested U/Ps?
thanks very much for any help on this!
