Hi,
I decided to change my user's password, I did it, and now I cannot remember
it. Home directory is encrypted, but I keep the passphrase.
I am searching for a solution in the Ubuntu universe but I just find
cumbersome workarounds. I find ways to recover files, but not a way to let
every
You lost your user password but not the encryption passphrase? Can you
decrypt the encrypted home with your old password?
If you can mount the encrypted home then you can copy the files by using live
cd image of trisquel or any other gnu/linux distro.
Thanks for your messages.
Hey, that's a good idea! Maybe this is the time to go to Trisquel 8 and
contribute to testing.
Sorry, I meant I have simply forgotten the new password I set to my user, so
I'm locked out, but fortunately I still keep with me the passphrase I used to
encrypt the h
And another question, where should I download Trisquel 8?
Trying at https://trisquel.info/en/download but 64bit Trisquel 8 is not found
in any server I try.
Not needed, thanks. It's been a long process, but finally I managed to
restore everything as it was. Thank you!
Forget this question. Maybe I could not download it because at that moment
there were some changes in the servers, as I see the official Trisquel 8 is
now out : )

Need help again, now to upgrade to Trisquel 8. I'm not opening a new thread
just in case it is related to this one. Anyway I did open an issue at
https://trisquel.info/en/issues/24146
Home was encrypted. I lost my user's password, but had with me the mount
passphrase to decrypt it. So I did:
Forget everything! At least for now...
I did what david suggested (sudo apt-get remove
trisquel-desktop-common-recommended) and it is upgrading now.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
I will try that solution for the swap once I can, unfortunately now I am
stuck in the middle of an unsuccessful upgrade :/

I already have my open issue #24146, so I do not know if it is alright to ask
for help here too. Please let me know.
The thing is, once the upgrade process finished, I restarted my computer, saw
this new Trisquel 8 water drops image but then the screen turned dark and
nothing can be done th
Oh, I get the dark screen when running that command!
On the journal thing, don't have time now but I will find a way to copy it
and paste it here. I am the kind of basic user who uses GUI for almost
everything...
Thanks for following up!
Thank you Banana!
I run that command but everything stays as it was = (
And the journal logs keep saying the same things.
By the way, I thought this ~./Authority file would recreate after a reboot,
but I did reboot the computer and cannot find it.
Please let me know if there is anything el
Yes, you are right, I tried with .Xauthority, sorry.
I cannot try with ~/.Xresources because I don't seem to have that file.
I tried this good idea of creating a new user. I added it to the sudo group,
logged in with it through vty, run $ sudo systemctl start lightdm.service but
got the dark
Please have a look.
I started to try davidpgil's solution, but my case was not exactly the same
and it did not work.
So I ended up going for the 7-step guide Magic Banana wrote above. That was
quick and clean. I have my Trisquel 8 up and running and so far every
important thing seems to work smoothly.
Thank
