[Bug 647912] [NEW] root password changed system inept

[Ronshua]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

This bug takes user , in my case , ronron was the administrator user, my
name was Ron , root now is owned by ronronRonron , password  ( ? )  In
the past I used "ron " the bug simply added a ron to make ronron . Time-
outs ? Dialing in part of a password & timing out ? It all festers in
.gvfs ,/etc/ user/shared/orbit sometimes /tmp/tmp added , but not this
time  , from my wired net , hitching a ride in on a ligament download ,
turning the OS against itself . ( you don't own it , permission denied )
No package manager , no net manager .  This BUG keeps changing , each
time I reinstall , I'm not that computer literate enough to get ahead of
it . I regroup format reinstall & I'm facing a new version . This BUG
does not like " snort " I can download it , but wont let it install
completely . gufw & ufw status enabled but it's not , no logs no
intrusion warning . Firestarter tells me I'm being probed & has blocked
many . 80 , 8080 , 22 , 443 is wide open , if I close-off 443 NO NET .
My address is 10.202.46.1/3 , in whois today said it was 66.205.144.72 .
Host has been 66.60.130.2 with a .6 for search , today 66.185.138.245 ,
there's a dial out installed to 214-748-3647 in my users and groups .
The first thing shutdown is updates & downloads next to falter is
permissions . That's the starting of the end . Ubuntu 10.4 is great
love-it , I think , I'm reasonable sure my 64 bit is being turned to 32
and vise-versa . I'm not going to mark vulnerability , you folks do that
, I'll say this , this install of 10.4 was buggy on the install 4 days
ago , so I loaded 10.10 on a usb drive , losing control of it with in
hours . Back on this 10.4 . Stayed off net & tried to delete ,
nousregroup , proxy , nopasswordlogin , & other stuff . .gvfs in hidden
wasn't used in this bug version but /tmp/orbit - x 7 or 8 or more
different long strings > whatis  ( nothing appropriate ) is evident .
This 3 1/2 or 4 days is a record , alas not much longer . when I reboot
grub will be missing . I think this bug let me get part of my IPTables
loaded & enabled , I feel like a Guinea pig or lab-rat some times . One
of the reasons I'm still here is I have a group open in users & groups I
can't change anything & they ...I mean this bug can't finish me off .
Are we having fun yet . Long live our Republic , thank God for Linux .
