| grayyoga | does anyone know why my emacs couldn't activate rfc1345 input-method(which AFAIK is the default one)? |
| Spliffster | simonsays, add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse |
| action | realrhY is getting depressed. |
| realrhY | is getting depressed. |
| Spliffster | simonsays, then run $sudo apt-get update; and from then one .. backports packages are available |
| kbidd | realrhY, if you set up a ssh server, and get port forward working, i'd be happy to take a look at it for you, but if you can't get grub working, no offense, but I doubt you'd be able to get the ports working properly. |
| Math^ | realrhY: lol, why |
| bill_ | RoundyT1, i.e. "I ran the command 'mysql ...' and it said" |
| ryan_ | how to upgrade firefox..somone plz help! |
| RoundyT1 | ok so i input "sudo apt-get update" it outputs "roundy is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" |
| ikaruga2099 | hi all.... great work! |
| realrhY | I'm a n00b drowning in an ocean of foreign code. |
| jh | Any one with some suggestions? |
| simonsays | hmm im still new so that sounds a little tricky |
| bill_ | RoundyT1, so is roundy in the sudoers file? |
| simonsays | il give it a go |
| ikaruga2099 | just wanted to know if anyone has had success compiling rasterbator? (The forums seem to be silent on this) |
| realrhY | I just wanted beryl+3dworld. *tear* |
| RoundyT1 | bill_, where do i edit that? |
| bur[n]er | RoundyT1: add that user to the admin group... or use the users & groups control panel thing to give the privelege of running admin tasks |
| Spliffster | RoundyT1, /etc/sudoers |
| bur[n]er | no no no |
| RoundyT1 | I'm actually running a debian server |
| bur[n]er | don't edit /etc/sudoers... that's the hardcore, i use a term and wouldn't ask the question if I knew how to use a term answer users & groups gui tool is for newbies :) |
| bulmer | you dont use vi to edit /etc/sudoers use visudo |
| bill_ | in the sudoers file there should be a group defined, which is for admin users, and you'll want to make yourself a member of that group |
| Spliffster | bur[n]er, huh .. whats wwring with sudovi ? |
| Erb_ | Is it possible to give permission to a remote server to access certain directories on my PC? |
| RoundyT1 | bill_, how do i add "roundy" to the admins? |
| rnY|pizza | kbidd: Thanks for the help, I'm going to attempt a reboot. |
| bur[n]er | Spliffster: you can hose yer system if you're not crareful |
| rnY|pizza | Though it seems fruitless. |
| bur[n]er | RoundyT1: you need to have another user than can use sudo first |
| Spliffster | bur[n]er, it won't block root logins .. so . no! |
| RoundyT1 | bur[n]er, im logged in as root...(i know its bad) |
| bur[n]er | RoundyT1: run "users-admin" |
| kbidd | Erb_, yes, you can... ssh is the way that I usually choose to do it. |
| bur[n]er | RoundyT1: also found in the system -> administration -> users & groups |
