If Only

Today must of us are still known to use Windows OS. Most of us think its flexible, easy to work with and most of us love Windows XP.

What I would love to see someday is the clean handling of uninstallation of custom software. Uninstall worries me?, well yes it bothers it me a lot. Going to Program Data and deleting the files certainly isn't really some of the most time consuming things but one that certainly annoys sometimes.
Or doing something like,

Uninstall using Control Panel.

Delete remaining files and folders of the program.

Remove Software keys from the Windows Registry.

Empty Temp Folder.

If someone could really come up with (Software Name) remove keyword like in Linux that could handle a clean removal of any installed software.

Modifying an invalid sudoers file

For those who come across the missing sudoers file which looks something like this:
/etc/sudoers is owned by uid 777, should be 0
Follow the below steps to get rid of this problem:
You have to reboot into recovery mode and first do the folllowing:
1)Choose the 'Enable networking' option.
2)Choose the 'Drop to root shell' option.
and then run visudo as follows:
pxexec visudo
then change last line of sudoers.so from: include /etc/sudoers
to: include /etc/sudoers.d
and finally
reboot with normal grub option.
This should solve your problem.

Mysql error 1044

I'm sure a lot of people have come across this error message Error 1044 :Access Denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (USING PASSWORD:YES or NO) either because you have not uninstalled MySql properly/ simply because you are not using MySql logged in as a administrator/ using Mysql on your virtual machine having(Linux OS).

The solution is pretty simple, all you need to do is:

Type the following commands in your bash terminal in linux :

1. mysqladmin - u root password 'password goes here';

and then

2. mysql -h localhost -u root -p
 and then enter the password when asked.

In case of Windows :
This solution also pretty much works for removing the above error provided you have given concerned users/all users 'FULL CONTROL' .
