[ubuntu-uk] Disk Errors
Hi, I had my disk drop out last Sunday (well I thought it was my disk) replaced it, rebuilt the software raid and this morning it dropped out again. Is it actually the HDD or my SATA controller since it seems strange for a new disk to go so quickly with the same problem. Syslog at http://files.culturalinformatics.org.uk/~dave/syslog.1 Thanks for any help, Dave -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I agree, the answer would probably be fairly relevant to Ubuntu as well I would imagine. The power of Google doesnt seem to show a command line or app to reset AD passwords so I would imagine the only way to do this would be to either try and join the machine to the domain(which Google suggests can be sort of done) or when the password is near to its renewal, AD normally gives you warning, RDP from the Mint 9 machine onto the AD server and reset your password. Are the system admin? If not I would be careful about putting a non-work PC on the corporate LAN.

Matt, Just for your peace of mind... I also have a Mint (9) installation - I use it only for Wine so as not to 'pollute' my Ubuntu set up.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Mint 9 and Windows 2000 Server
That's also my understanding too. Mint 10 is, as far as I'm aware, based on Ubuntu 10.10 as the Mint team always release a new Mint approximately one month after a new Ubuntu is released. Maybe the mix up is that there is one version of Mint that is based on Debian with a rolling release...? On 24/10/10 15:45, SuperEngineer wrote: Matt, Just for your peace of mind...

I can join computers to the domain without admin rights, not sure if that's what Paul M-R meant. Both the computer and my user account were already on the AD domain from the Windows install. With the version in the repo, I had to join my computer to the domain twice (with a reboot in between) before I could successfully log in. With the latest version 6.0 from the website, I only had to join the domain once then reboot, then I could sign in (2 different machines, in case you're wondering). I haven't yet found out if there's a likewise command to change domain password, but I think the smbpasswd command works without likewise installed.
