Welcome T480 and Multiple OS, :(

Note for setting up Kubuntu 18.04 then Window7

My laptop(T480) current status is setup with Kubuntu without UEFI enable. Until I find the way to do that I will leave it like this.

First, I setup Kubuntu with this layout



3 partitions (all /dev/sda)

  • (pri)/dev/sda1 as /root
  • (log)/dev/sda2
    • /dev/sda5 as /home
  • (pri)/dev/sda3 as swap
Got 1 space left, size around 450gb, leave it unformatt. Then I got  usb (window7 extracted) plug, then reboot the machine. Let window installer format and use that space. When It's done, It's reboot. Then I come to d.step. My laptop can boot only Window7. Here are the rescue steps

  1. Find one Linux extracted USB (probaby made from Unetbootin)
  2. Boot with it (I am in LiveCD mode), then grab boot-repair from some of instructions from site below
    1. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
  3. Do what's site guide, then I got Grub menu and Kubuntu back.
  4. But window gone.
  5. It's ok, boot laptop to Kubuntu, setup boot-repair by step 2.1
  6. Open the app, Goto Advanced Settings, Choose os-to-default to be Window (at this step I hope boot-repair see Window partition)
  7. Apply that options, wait then Reboot
  8. Now, I can get Kubuntu and Window7 boot !!!
*** boot-repair is supercool, when it work as it should

Changing postgres password and warning

ORIGINAL from https://serverfault.com/questions/110154/whats-the-default-superuser-username-password-for-postgres-after-a-new-install CAUTION  The answer about changing the UNIX password for "postgres" through "$ sudo passwd postgres" is not preferred, and can even be  DANGEROUS ! This is why: By default, the UNIX account "postgres" is locked, which means it cannot be logged in using a password. If you use "sudo passwd postgres", the account is immediately unlocked. Worse, if you set the password to something weak, like "postgres", then you are exposed to a great security danger. For example, there are a number of bots out there trying the username/password combo "postgres/postgres" to log into your UNIX system. What you should do is follow  Chris James 's answer: sudo -u postgres psql postgres # \password postgres Enter new password: To explain it a little bit. There are usually two default ways to login to...
