passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
Hi, there are already threads similarly entitled with this one but my situation is different.
I re-installed Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, because I needed it to run/install kgpu on my system for a project we're doing in school. (former kernel is 32-bit Ubuntu 11.04) I also need to install eCryptfs, so I also need to install keyutils, swig, pam and nss (the last 3 I installed using Synaptic Package Manager). Installing keyutils (1.0 version, I think) was no problem. I was able to run make and sudo make install without any problems, that is my sudo password was recognized. But when I tried installing eCryptfs after installing keyutils, my sudo password won't get recognized anymore when running sudo make install. I tried changing the root password through booting the recovery mode of the kernel I'm currently using but all I was getting is passwd: Authentication token manipulation error passwd: Password unchanged Do anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it? I tried re-installing the 64-bit kernel again thinking it would solve the problem, but I guess it wouldn't. Thanks! I appreciate any help. |
Sounds like you need to mount the drive readwrite: mount -n -o remount,rw /
