At Roehampton University the cafe sells Ubuntu cola! :)

Ensure your sources.list looks something like this:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib

Run the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

All done!

Lost your MySQL root password? No worries! :-)

Stop MySQL server

# /etc/init.d/mysql stop

Start MySQL server without password

# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

Login

# mysql -u root

Change password (replace XXX with your new root password)

mysql> use mysql;
mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("XXX") where User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit

Stop and Start MySQL server

# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
# /etc/init.d/mysql start

Test to see if it works! (Should ask you for your new password)

# mysql -u root -p

Enjoy!

So… I was trying to log onto my phpmyadmin to change some tables manually and I cannot login… I tried the common password I would use and no luck… I got hacked? W00T??? So I started lookign around and what got me thinking was that no matter what user i tried using to login I would get an erro saying that I cannot access as user ‘root’! So at the end what si the problem? A cookie!!! Thanks to this post I was able to solve the issue!

In Firefox Clear all cookies that begin with “pma” or “pma_”

Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies -> View Coolies.
Choose the Cookies for the site “linwebXX.edikon.net” that start with “pma_” and delete them.
Close the Window

That’s ALL!!!
Happy mysql’ing
