<0> Calgar: run gksudo "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
<1> gnomefreak: I see, looking the screenshots it reminds me of running WindowMaker in the past ;)
<0> Calgar: with the " this time
<2> Hmm, if I enable the root account, I won't have to worry about incorrectly using sudo instead of gksudo...
<3> hey, anyone wanna know the best enc. key for wireless? abc123def4
<3> :D
<0> hastesaver: not true
<2> does starting something from "sudo -i" have the same effect as gksudo?
<0> hastesaver: what do you think gksu is?
<4> nickrud: no i didnt upgrade to dapper. it is still breezy. but it will show me a message that there are upgrades ready to install, so I clicked to install. Then it said i need to reboot, ok reboot. But after rebooting, a message said there was some error with X server and cannot be used. Showed me a lot of text from a log file.
<0> hastesaver: no
<5> gnomefreak: same thing happens
<0> hastesaver: sudo -i is not for gui sudo -s is iirc
<0> Calgar: nothing is in it?
<4> nickrud: sorry i mean it showed me a message that there....
<6> tonygeorge, ah, that's a fixable problem probably. try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<0> Calgar: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list is what you are running?
<5> gnomefreak: yeah, nothing is there
<6> hastesaver, sudo -i or sudo -s : to see the difference, do an env | sort after each of sudo -i & sudo -s. sudo -i is safer.
<5> gnomefreak: yes, and i tried it with and without the speech marks
<4> nickrud: I have tried it. but still cannot.
<6> hastesaver, try gksudo as well
<0> Calgar: you do have gnome installed right?
<5> im using gnome, yes
<0> Calgar: try sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
<7> Can I boot the system on the hard drive via the installation cd, with something like boot: linux root=/dev/sda2 (if the default image is 'linux') ?
<8> I am chatting from a fresh 5.10 install, and loving every minute of it, but I noticed something strange: my opengl rendering is slower now than it was in windows. is there something I have to configure, or is it just the games I am playing? (the speed varies in game)
<6> tonygeorge, hm. Is there any way you can get a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.log onto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ ?
<2> Not to troll, but I've enabled the root account, and start gui apps from it fine. None of the arguments on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo seems convincing to me
<9> when I try to install xemacs I get an error about dependencies
<0> hastesaver: open cups
<10> blue89, type fglrxinfo in the terminal.
<5> gnomefreak: its empty...
<0> Calgar: are you typing it the way i am?
<6> tonygeorge, there's a script you can run from the console that will paste those files, http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/pastebin
<11> how can i install a firmware ??
<12> whats the packages for compiling (make, etc) ?
<13> !b-e
<14> or if you get errors saying gcc cannot create executables, or that you can't find header files like stdio.h, or get "make: command not found, then you need to do a sudo apt-get install build-essential.
<0> nny: build-essential
<5> gnomefreak: exactly
<8> samuli, command not found
<4> nickrud: I will try. but I only have links to browse internet. let me try if I can paste it. what is the scripts name?
<2> gnomefreak, just to be clear, I login to the root account with "ssh -X root@machinename". After this, running GUI apps is perfectly fine, right?
<10> hmm.. what card are you using?
<12> thanks1
<6> tonygeorge, it's at http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/pastebin
<0> Calgar: type this for me gksudo 'gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
<0> shoot
<8> I don't know, it is a laptop
<0> Calgar: dont type that
<4> nickrud: ok i will try.
<10> blue89, probably you don't have opengl enabled.
<8> a toshiba satellite, if that helps
<0> Calgar: type this gksudo 'gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'
<15> what package are the locate and whereis commands in?
<16> my locate database isnt finding anything
<16> how do I get it to rebuild ?
<0> hastesaver: cups has nothing to do with ssh
<8> so it is all software rendered now? crap
<3> Blue89: is it an Intel vid. card?
<17> hastesaver, running apps "regularly" as root is not impossible... just not the best practice.
<5> gnomefreak: same error, and same window with nothing in it......
<6> sixpoint, sudo updatedb
<16> thanks
<16> couldnt remember the command
<8> no clue, it is whatever this laptop is built with
<0> Calgar: can you join #ubuntu-offtopic please
<16> just installed ubuntu
<18> _jason, dell chat room is terrible
<2> If it's not offtopic, I'd like to know more about why sudo is better than su (for a single-user machine)
<18> _jason, i had to give them all my information and still havne't found out what driver it is
<3> hastesaver: didn't you ask the same ? last night?
<5> gnomefreak: ok, i have joined it
<10> blue89, try glxgears -info
<16> hastesaver: google it
<2> paradizelost, no!
<0> i see you
<3> samuli: glxinfo would suffice for taht
<3> hastesaver: k. someone had the exact same ? last night...
<6> hastesaver, security is a continuum; what's right for some is not right for others. ymmv
<1> Is it recommend to run "firestarter" along with ubuntu?
<13> ubuntu_: there is a dell chat room?
<18> Sputnik_NL, no its not becavuse there are no listening ports on ubuntu
<3> hastesaver: lets say you accidentally do an rm -Rf /, as root, you'd be screwed
<10> paradizelost, yeah, but you couldn't see the sweet gears and how fast they're turning. :)
<18> _jason, yeah some 1on1 thing
<18> _jason, i think its java not sure though
<2> paradizelost, and if I do it with sudo, I'm equally screwed
<1> ubuntu_: Thanks
<16> whats a good linux text editor ?
<18> Sputnik_NL, but if you really feel paranoid it won't hurt
<3> hastesaver: but, with sudo, you have to enter your p***word, gives you a chance to correct your mistake
<13> ubuntu_: tell sixpoint about editor
<13> ubotu: tell sixpoint about editor=
<10> I don't really like the sudo-thing either.
<18> sixpoint, emacs or vi is what most people use, some nano or gedit which are easier
<1> Are there any other programs who can improve ubuntu's security, a little like SElinux or AppArmor? (on Fedora/SUSE)
<6> sixpoint, gedit, gvim, emacs21, nano, my gosh, anjuta,
<16> any graphical ones ?
<3> hastesaver: plus, if you run apps as root, you run a risk of having hte system compromized
<18> Sputnik_NL, nah fedora has selinux and there is hardened debian iirc
<3> hastesaver: just like you don't want apache running w/ root privileges
<3> sixpoint: i use vim/gvim
<19> How do I specify a DNS address without X?
<2> paradizelost, I only log in to root to do single things at a time anyway :)
<16> I dont like vim
<16> too complicated to learn
<18> Jimmey__, i think resolve.conf
<20> hi!
<3> hastesaver: well, then sudo should be fine for you.
<6> sixpoint, I'd recommend gvim, it's menu driven as well. Gedit is quick & nice
<2> paradizelost, I don't run apps as root. I'm just saying, for the things for which it's recommended to use sudo, I use real root
<18> sixpoint, its really quite simple
<21> Sputnik_NL: you can install bastille it's a hardening program for linux
<16> call me a newb, but I like the way dreamweaver editor works
<20> can anything read me?
<19> ubuntu_, where's that
<3> hastesaver: the only reason i enable login as root, is to be able to do scp of protected files
<2> paradizelost, but sudo asks me to type a p***word, which is a pain, and more importantly, it doesn't work with X apps
<1> ubuntu_: No no need for extra applications/services?
<18> sixpoint, i can email you an emacs quick reference sheet that will get you learning emacs in no time. its pdf. just pm me your email if you want it
<13> ajamuk: read you?
<20> alguien habla espaol?
<13> !es
<14> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
<18> Sputnik_NL, i don't understand what your asking
<1> LinuxJones: I'll take a look
<3> hastesaver: a minor modification to /etc/sudoers fixes that... :D
<2> paradizelost, even the GUI apps?
<18> Jimmey__, not sure let me look a sec
<22> what is the apt-get package for x11 development?
<21> Sputnik_NL: here's a link >> http://www.bastille-linux.org/
<18> Jimmey__, its in /etc
<1> ubuntu_: I'm just interested in applications/services to make Ubuntu secure, like fedora ans suse claim with SElinux and AppArmor.
<6> Cerveza, x-window-system-dev gets you everything, including the kitchen sink
<18> Sputnik_NL, i don't know Im not really into security
<3> hastesaver: w/ that modification, nothing that is sudo-ish will ask for a p***word.
<4> nickrud: i have pasted successfully :-) please check this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13925
<23> j/ #windows
<3> pm me if you want to know more.
<1> ubuntu_: Thanks though :)
<23> j\ #windows
<1> LinuxJones: Thanks for the link, looks interesting.
<22> thanks nickrud
<6> tonygeorge, do you have xserver-xorg-driver-mga installed?
<24> hi
<19> ubuntu_, thank you
<3> any one know if there's a reason that ubuntu doesn't use superadduser by default?
