Ubuntu default root password

So what is the ubuntu default root password? I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and during the installation process it did not ask for the root password.

After the installation is finished, I try to login as a root using the "su" command. However, when it asked for the password, I could not login. There is no default/empty password for root.

It turns out you need to set the root password first by using this command:

sudo passwd
Enter new UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 

You can also login as a root without setting the password by using this command:

sudo su

Could not open library 'xml2' 'libxml2.so'

Could not open library 'xml2' : xml2: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. 
Could not open library 'libxml2.so' :

(LoadError)

To fix the issue, please run the following command:

sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/lib/tools.jar

When running my 'ant' script I get the following error:

Unable to locate tools.jar.
Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/lib/tools.jar

To solve it, I need to install java-sdk:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

This is my first time trying to install an Apache server on my Windows XP machine. Previously I was using IIS. I installed Apache 2.2 and was using the self installation program provided by Apache.

Upon installing Apache, I immediately received the following errors;

The Apache service named  reported the following error:
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address 
(protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.  
: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80     .

It seems that the error was saying that there was a conflict in using the port 80. My natural response was to stop my windows firewall. However, it did not work. I was finally able to figure out the issue and it was because I was still running IIS on my Windows machine and therefore there was a conflict between Apache and IIS server.

I uninstalled IIS and I can immediately start Apache server with no problems.
