I am a new to intermediate user who has logged on here/at stack exchange as eimi and another means which I don't have record of now. My security is compromised, I believe. I get a blank desktop as if there is a screen over my main login desktop. I guess my question is this - how do I get to my sudo account via a guest terminal? What do I type at guest-PeoYMo@phi-ETMN-7:~

You can't. The guest session is prevented by design to access regular accounts.

One thing you can do is opening a console window using Alt+Ctrl+F1 and log in from there. Once done, return via Alt+Ctrl+F7.

  • Okay, I did that. I am hesitant because a few prompts for my login came up and one was successful. I have installed several times and am concerned about different desktops being out there - an afterthought realization. – eimi Jul 16 '16 at 13:38

  • Since this comment my computer was disconnected via the AC adapter. I am the account holder for amyhmilam@yahoo.com, luxluv777@yahoo.com, amymilam@gmail.com, amyhmilam@gmail.com, and amyhmilam@yahoo.com. I have to regain access to a few, which should not be a problem. – eimi Jul 16 '16 at 14:41
  • PS - I installed it and have been using Ubuntu since 2011 - so I knew the guest session is part of Linux's design/safety which is pretty typical to most OS's but furthermore... – eimi Jul 17 '16 at 11:07

The mounts have been hacked. my google account, ls home directory, mount

I have had to revert to /dev/sda1 numerous times in the past. I cannot compete at that level.
