<0> Scar_Freewill: you have to add the wine repo ...
<1> what in gods name is going on here
<2> eobanb, 333mhz pentium 2 8gb hd 128mb of ram
<3> ubotu tell Scar_Freewill -about wine
<4> bliss1__, I just dont know a fix right now, give me time to try to either recreate it or figure out what is wrong
<0> afaik, wine compiles are very up to date
<2> I just want some ideas, I'm bored and I've got time to kill... what could I set up?
<5> DBshOwer: no probs thanks
<6> thechitowncubs, you could set up a server of some kind, like a web server, or you could set up a firewall..
<7> slavik: i have and i am downloading it atm, but it ceeps getting disconected while i am dling it
<8> i hit ctrl+alt+backspace, but kdm doesn't appear to be restarting... why?
<6> thechitowncubs, you could also have it run some sort of grid computing app like folding@home
<9> latrek: you need help?..
<10> hey all
<2> eobanb, good idea, i was thinking about that
<11> Hi guys. can some one tell me how to edit priveliges of user accounts from the terminal
<8> the process "kdm" is still running according to ps -A, but it's not showing up
<12> tombo_: what do you wanna do specifically?
<9> you can edit /etc/group by hand
<6> thechitowncubs, if you found a bigger hard drive, you could make it into a media server (for music)
<9> otherwise useradd
<10> does anyone know anout a good rss feed reader that will stay on (fox example) on the right side of the desktop??
<9> usermod
<12> no don't do that please
<9> userdel
<13> DBO - if I have two identical boxes each with two drives, can I take a RAID1 drive from box 1, drop it in box 2, and build a system off it? or is that insane?
<12> you should always use vigr
<9> no?
<12> not edit /etc/group by hand
<12> use vigr
<14> bbs. if lucky
<2> eobanb, that might be a possibility, I have a 320gb hard drive with all my music, movies, etc and that would be easier to have it on a server like that
<2> sounds good
<2> thanks for the ideas
<8> can someone help me... why doesn't KDM restart by itself after a ctrl+alt+backspace ?
<9> mwe: whats the problem with editing /etc/group by hand?
<1> What would be a better choice, to take a windows machine and a live cd or my windows machine and my linux notebook
<8> plus, it's still not doing anything after i did a /etc/init.d/kdm restart
<12> bolrod: it doesn't prevent you from typos. vigr does
<13> __mikem, what do you need windows for?
<1> I am going on a trip in two days where I will need access to both a linux machine and a windows machine
<9> owh
<12> bolrod: it wont let you save unless the syntax is correct
<11> mwe I hve just installed ubuntu. Had problems with display and craeted a new account which fixed display, but I cannot makea ny system changes from new account
<15> hi all
<8> tombo: you need to use the command "sudo"
<1> IN my case its a competition for programmers, and they may require me to use a windows machine
<8> tombo: for more information, type "man sudo" at a terminal
<12> tombo_: you need to add the user to the admin group
<9> /etc/group isn't that difficult ... :) but erh.. is it catastrophic if you save with bad syntax?
<6> no problem, thechitowncubs . if you need any help, just come back and ask
<1> obscurite did you get that
<12> tombo_: login as the first user and sudo adduser newusername admin
<13> __mikem - no way to call ahead?
<15> i am tring to copile new grf drivers how to i check if i am using gcc and not gcc4
<16> _mikem will you have internet acsses if you do take the linux box and use vnc
<15> i am tring to copile new grf drivers how to i check if i am using gcc 3.4 and not gcc4
<12> martyn_: gcc --version
<8> martyn: gcc --version ?
<17> anyone else for a problem with a sound card ??
<1> Because, currently, my linux box is a notebook, and it is behind a firewall, and I don't feel like setting up vnc
<10> i've see rss feed readers on ms machines that like stay on the desktop... but does anyone if i can get the same thing on my ubuntu box??
<15> thx
<12> mike13: you need to be more specific. did you try anything at all?
<18> greetings
<13> __mikem - ideally you could run vmware if you had to run windows
<18> hey can anyone with a dell laptop and a multimeter help me out for a second
<17> i read the documentation
<1> I don't have any spare license keys for windows
<1> I do have a couple of vm ware licenses, but they are for windows machines
<18> __mikem any chance your laptop is a dell
<17> i disabled the onboard soundcard
<1> um, no its a compaq
<19> after reconfiguring x server how do I start it up?
<1> presario 900
<18> also, if you have spare licenses for vmware, i'm sure you could call vmware and swap
<10> lattrek: startx
<19> ok
<12> latrek: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start or startx
<13> __mikem - yeah try to swap for linux
<17> desinstalled then reinstalled alsa
<1> its the weekend, and I believe where I am, their tech support is closed for the day
<11> mwe. It says the user******* is already a member of 'admin'
<13> __mikem - oh well sounds like you'll be taking both ;)
<1> thanks
<12> tombo_: yes. and sudo doesn't work?
<18> anyone here have a dell laptop
<1> Now the trick is to clear that manuver with my father
<20> anyone know how to install ubuntu 64bit 5.10 on turion without using "noapic" and "nolapic" copmmand? my installation freezes without those?
<16> mwe do you have the sudo p***wd
<1> mwe check your sudoers file
<13> __mikem - if he cares about you having a career then i'm sure he'll agree
<1> maybe
<12> sudo works fine for me
<12> I was commenting on tombo_'s problem
<16> my bad
<1> oh, then tell tombo_ to pastebin the output of less /etc/sudoers
<21> Is ubuntu participating in SoC this year?
<1> that should tell us exactly what the problem is
<6> MrRio, i believe they are
<12> __mikem: but he can't unless he can sudo. he wont have permission
<11> mwe, how do you mean 'sudo doesn't work. It seems to be working but I do not know how to use it
<1> does the su command work for him
<22> hi
<23> i have a question about Wvdial
<24> does any1 know of a widget that shows the ip's connected to your computer?
<12> tombo_: type sudo whatever you need to do as root
<1> um tombo_ sudo (name of command) [args]
<23> when I try to dial, i got somethied like "no carrier"
<25> ryan, you measn the internal ips?
<22> I can't enable TV out of ati 9600 with fireglcontrol
<23> what can it be?
<22> I remember having it working already, but it doesn't anymore
<12> tombo_: I'm not sure I understand what your problem is
<1> tombo_ after you do that it will prompt you for YOUR p***word
<24> no external ip's
<1> make sure you type YOUR p***word and not your root p***word
<1> then it should work
<25> ryan, like, what is your external IP? or what external ips are transferring data
<24> fiendskull9, the external ip's that are transferring data
<25> ryan, hmmm. hold on
<26> i'm setting up amd64 breezy with mdadm software raid, i have 4 320 gig sata hd's in the computer, each partition 10M boot, 1G swap 10G / rest /var i did software raid, and joined the drives, and its currently doing resync on the last drive. do i need to wait for the drives to resync before continuing the install? Just asking because I didn't wait originally, and it failed part way through, so I figured I'd let it finish syncing (been almost
<11> I mwe, mikem; want to creat an account so that I can make changes to the system. at the moment I have a terminal and several useless accounts. I am now su as root!
<27> if [ -d ~/myscripts ] ; then
<27> PATH=~/myscripts:"${PATH}"
<27> fi
<27> Should this not work to add the directory to my path?
<1> tombo_ it sounds like you want to log in as root
<25> ryan, i dont know of a widgetm but you can type "netstat" in terminal. and itll show all your current connections. but no guarentee itll give the others IP, most of the time itll give the hostname. for example, im not geting freenodes ip, im getting herbert.freenode.n
<1> you need to enable your root account first
<24> fiendskull9, that's quite alright, thanks for your help
<25> ryan, word
<12> tombo_: you need to make sure those users are in the admin group. it seems you did that. now paste /etc/sudoers to pastebin.com
<28> lol after about 3 hours of arsing about, finally solved refresh rate problem lol
<29> n8
<5> DBshOwer: there is a full kernel log here if you need it http://pastebin.ca/49447
<1> mwe it sounds like he just wants an account with administrative access, I am not sure how the contents of his sudoers file is going to help us
<12> Zarephath: you need to export PATH
<22> how can fireglcontrol from ATI can change /etc/X11/xorg.conf without beeing root ?
<12> Zarephath: export PATH=${PATH}: ...
<27> mwe: It should work this way too?
<12> __mikem: it will show if the admin group is set up to allow sudo
<27> Ahhh...it is just checking but not adding it to PATH?
<1> oh ok
<12> Zarephath: you need the export keyword
<11> mikem; I am now logged in as root. Is there any way I can creat an account with full priveledges. What do you mean paste /etc sudoers to pastbin.com?....The machine is not on the net
<27> Ok
<28> when i log out of ubuntu, it then takes me to the non-qui terminal screen, can i get from there to the boot-up list so i can choose to bootup in windows?
<1> Um, yes there is tombo_
<1> hold on
<12> Zarephath: your syntax is correct other than that
