Ubuntu 11.10 has faffed up on me, It wont let me get passed the login-screen ( i have been searching around online the last two days and none of the proposed solutions worked) as at this point I don't care to try to fix it
I have booted the liveusb and need access to my files so i can move them to an external drive, the issue is i cant move, for example, .thunderbird
, as i don't have permission
so please, how can i get permission? as in how do i get to enter password so i can move my files
(please don't confuse what I am asking, as on other forums that i have googled, people keep saying that you are root in a livecd session, this completely misses the point, i need root privilege to move the files from the hard-drive, gksu nautilus doesn't give permission to move/copy files)
