| cabled_ | i want to try delteing my shell with the bad keyboard since no one seems to have an idea how to fix with out going postal... i e delteing and starting over ok so when it asks for the admin pass what do i put in? |
| Alonea | dogatemycomputer: umm, I dunno, and its quite a hassle to do it when I have to create new folders for all my devices and figure out how to mount and umount each one over and over. I would rather fix the automount issue |
| cabled_ | it dont allow sudo administrator mode |
| Yorokobi | cabled_: the admin mode button uses kdesu (sudo) If you don't use sudo, you're outta luck there |
| cabled_ | in x? |
| butters | ok i did sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs |
| cabled_ | X /kde |
| Yorokobi | cabled_: of course |
| Jucato | cabled_: yes. kdesu is what graphical KDE apps when it needs to use sudo |
| cabled_ | well can i send u the screnn pic cuzz it isnt allowing the password |
| butters | kde is leaps faster than gnome it seems to be snappy'er |
| Alonea | I seem to be having a lot of problems with mounting and umounting lately. My thumb drives are no longer automounting and I could not eject my cd drive without sticking a pin in the little hole on my drive to force it to eject. Also now have a locked folder called My Book which is my external hdd, but its not even plugged in now. Now my cdrom won't mount automatically like it usually does and... ...its a lot of trouble for me to figure out how to mount each one in new folders that I have to make and keep track of it. |
| cabled_ | if i am in shell$ and type su then the same pass it goes shell# |
| butters | i need help with samba i went to user and groups and edited the needed info there |
| Yorokobi | cabled_: su != sudo |
| butters | then went to smb.conf and did the browsing= yes bit and also smbpasswd -a username but i cant get a damn thing to work! |
| cabled_ | i get the symantecs i have read the ubuntu site regarding the sudo properties |
| Yorokobi | its more than semantics |
| cabled_ | but when i clk administrator mode button to manage users it says bad pass |
| Yorokobi | cabled_: are you typing in _your_ password or the root password? |
| Jucato | cabled_: which password are you typing in? |
| cabled_ | ive tried both neither work |
| Yorokobi | cabled_: as root, run visudo, do you still have %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL ? If so, is your current user a member of the admin group? |
| cabled_ | let me go look brb yes that line is there how do i chk this user stats? |
| Yorokobi | cabled_: id | grep admin cabled_: if you don't get any output, your user is not in the admin group |
| cabled_ | no response..:/ ok so how to add me then |
| Yorokobi | cabled_: add your user name to the end of the admin line in /etc/group cabled_: then log off KDE and log back in |
