Lost permission to use sudo commands No problem, just behave like you would have if you wanted to install it in a new VM: Mount your iso file and let it boot from disk (should be default). Then it gives you the same prompt as if you were about to install. Also check this entry (its ArchLinux, but its universal): wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_Root#Change_root . Make sure to use the same architecture (its best to use the same iso) |

Lost permission to use sudo commands Have you considered booting a live cd, mounting your system and chrooting into it? If I recall correctly, you don't need a root password (but not 100% sure) |

Is it secure: Storing an unencrypted keyfile in a volatile location? Thanks, that seems to be a reasonable answer. What I was basically worried about (and why I did not use an unecrypted fs) that the unencrypted file should not be recoverable after the computer is turned of (e.g. because it was written to swap). Since it seems to be true that the ramdisk is really and only a true RAM space, this helps my concerns. Thank you. |

mysqld won't start on another system (nor on the old) - no log files available Yes! I changed the permissions for the new system, but forgot to revert them for the old. Now I can just chroot into my old system and start mysqld from there. Thank you for the idea. |

Is it secure: Storing an unencrypted keyfile in a volatile location? Okay, I get it. Don't worry, that part has been taken care of. It is only the original question that worries me |

Is it secure: Storing an unencrypted keyfile in a volatile location? I am not sure how to understand your answer: I already have it in a secure location, but I want to have a knowledge-based method of mounting my drive, i.e. Nothing should work without something it is in my head. Also there is only one machine (the headless server), so the only network communication would be me ssh'ing to the server and mounting the drives. |
