[brlug-general] Xubuntu Experiment

[Chopin Cusachs]

Decided to play with Xubuntu on an older machine.

So I downloaded the iso image and burned a live CD.

Came up fine -- no login.

Played with it some time, and decided to shut down.
Did not find a button in the GUI, nor anything like a
shutdown on a menu, so I opened a terminal and
tried the shutdown command.  It didn't like my
user privilege, so I tried su, and  got a login screen.
Couldn't guess password -- started with carriage
return.  Since I had not installed the OS, there was
no supervisor account password.

Anyone know if there is a more graceful way to shut
down when running from live CD than pulling the
power cord?  (It did not respond to the reset button.)
Or is there a default password?

Suspect that if I installed Xubuntu, I would be prompted
to set up a couple of accounts and then could shut
down from a terminal window.
