I've been playing around with C and C++ on my Ubuntu machine. I tried it once on Windows and I didn't have a good experience because I didn't like using the Visual Studio. I like to write code, so really prefer a text editor over an IDE.   This weekend I found that it is super easy to write and run C and C++ programs on Ubuntu. GCC was already installed, and after installing G++ I could compile C++ programs easily. I just used my text editor, which is all I really want to use.   The only thing I was struggling with, and it could be the reason why I may need an IDE, is debugging. The error messages that GCC and G++ are giving are not very awesome, and sometimes I would compile the program without error, just to find that it gives a "segmentation fault" or other errors that offer no information.   So am I forced to learn and use an IDE, or are there debugging tools I should use instead? If you don't use an IDE, what do you use, and how do you debug?

I've been doing a lot of studying of Linux lately. I enabled the root acount to do some work. When done, even if I logout, close the terminal, or reboot, I can still access the root account without supplying the root password. So what am I not understanding or what am I doing wrong? I don't really need to disable the root account, but this is just a learning experience, and I'm not understanding why I still have access. See below:     # I needed to enable root access for something skunkbad:~$ sudo passwd root   # I did what I needed to do skunkbad:~$ sudo -i root@ubuntu-Inspiron-3647:~#   # I logout from root root@ubuntu-Inspiron-3647:~# logout   # I disable the root access per instructions from many internet references skunkbad:~$ sudo passwd -dl root   # Root access is still available, even if I close and reopen the terminal skunkbad:~$ sudo -i   # I logout from root root@ubuntu-Inspiron-3647:~# logout   # Trying to access root via su prompts for password, and old password is wrong skunkbad:~$ su Password: su: Authentication failure

Code: [Select]
<?php
$myServer = "<remote ip>";
$myUser = "<username>";
$myPass = "<password>";
$myDB = "FAP2"; 
//create an instance of the ADO connection object
$conn = new COM ("ADODB.Connection")
  or die("Cannot start ADO");
 
?>

No error messages reported, but page "dies" at this point.
The ubuntu machine can see the sql machine, but yet this is happening.
