Jun 15, 2015 at 16:49 comment added Thomas Ward @Maythux If they are already able to login and have the 'virtual consoles' on TTYs, it's overkill and extra work to just boot up into a LiveUSB/LiveCD to do it. Especially since it's not a case of "I Can't Access Anything" so no need for the big guns (as Serg alluded to in comments)

Jun 15, 2015 at 15:32 comment added Maythux @Serg thanks, I knew but I'm just asking Tomas why he considered it overkill?
Jun 15, 2015 at 15:31 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy @Maythux yup, still a valid solution, and that's why I've upvoted ^_0
Jun 15, 2015 at 15:30 comment added Maythux @Serg but it still a case, plus It's just another solution, I said in addition to using tty as you described he has an option of liveCd, also he has option of recovery mode... WE are talking about linux, many solutions for same problem. I don't think recommending a liveCd is a problem!
Jun 15, 2015 at 15:28 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy @Maythux while technically correct, it's indeed a bit overkill , when we already have TTYs available and ssh. LiveCD solution is more applicable when you've installed coreutils (yes, I've done that before by accident) or something really got messed up.
Jun 15, 2015 at 15:25 comment added Maythux @ThomasW. Why!? It's just another option? Why you considered it overkill solution?!
