Can't gotta send emails from phone, no access to thunderbird with all my
accounts, if as user pete I copy and go to user 2 not in their clipboard! I
dunno how to send emails from the cmd line!
Will send jpeg photo of screen of you wish!
But trust me output of your command was zero. It asked for.my root passwd
then authenticated it and I was logged in as root to tty shell ! No output
to paste!

So my passwd is correct, just won't log me in via greeter screen.
