tonyyarusso, Should I write that alone on a line, or use the filename after?

Clavi:

lesshaste, if you are war driving, you really want to get familiar with iwlist and the other cli stuff not the front ends

filename after

where is it customary to place application which all users will require, or that are common to the system ?

bruenig, ok.. I am actually just trying to work out where I can connect more easily

I mean through Gnome.

that’s normal

Uh…how?

Is it possible to get Ubuntu to verify against a windows 2000 Active directory user account? If so how?

h1st0, I’m using Xchat but ‘by standard’ it’s really simplory. I can install plugins, I know but do you know another one?

Some_ux, if it is not fhs complaint, you should stick it in its own directory in /opt

tonyyarusso, so now what?

I just went to System etc

_Ulver_, xchat or xchat-gnome ?

xchat

Desktop something or Display something.

tonyyarusso, nvm

In Linux, the system assumes that things will work, and only bothers telling you if something went wrong, as opposed to Windows, which gets excited when it succeeds and gives you a “Yay!!” popup.

ok

tonyyarusso, yeah but I have no idea what chmod does, or why I had to execute it on the file first

Make sure you don’t use xchat-gnome. It’s a bug of Ubuntu to install that by default.

Ask us the question and perhaps we can answer.

sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst and in there you will have a word “default” and it will at the moment have a value of 0 - you need to change this to a higher number, 0 is the first entry in the list of grub that is booted, and you can count the entries below that until you come to windows or whatever its name is and then remove the number 0 and replace it with that number have a nice day

my opinion - lvm all the time

Mr0bvious ^

dug, I have been following him, just don’t lie to people, I get tired of seeing untruths that people use to justify their particular solution. They aren’t necessary, just give your solution without misleading people.

Try this command `glxinfo | grep -i opengl` in terminal

why?

I knew it

Try dudeicles’ command now.

shwouchk more support, better tools, less dependencies, intergration with grub and lilo

Invisionfree, is it mounted?

Have you done an update since you interrupted the upgrade?

you obviously were not following what he is trying to do. Because your advice was completely wrong. Those instructions would compile 0.9.44 of wine, which is exactly what is he not trying to do, since 0.9.44 has a bug he is trying to overcome.

Invisionfree, also don’t use sudo with graphical applications

no

i’ll look up the link you gave earlier on

Why? You can do it from Linux using several methods already mentioned. Plus it may kill something big.

i3luefire corruption of your boot partition / driectory

Invisionfree, use gksudo when doing graphical applications

gksudo/ Wtf is that?

the why is i would have to reboot i dont like that

try ’sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx

Invisionfree, but that shouldn’t effect the problem, is the windows drive mounted?

he is a complete beginner to compiling. he has never run make before in his life. You are being an asshole to suggest that I was wrong to let him know that compiling wine from source would not be so easy.

but ok

and windows and unix text files are not the same, you’d need a unix compatable text editor

trying that now, seems to make ’some’ progess- it is installing newer packages now, but some are still kept back

It’s a command to run GUI apps as root. It’s like sudo only for X apps.

i3luefire pardon ?

, not as far as I can tell, but them again, I’m not sure what I’m looking for

gksudo

!language | dug

Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.

dug, it is the easiest possible compile, ./configure make make install is the easiest possible ones, there are hard compiles which require a bunch of configure options and patching and such, but wine is not one of those

Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama

that appears if I type in sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx and no I cannot

jzl, use it as a parameter to the terminal, depending on the terminal, it will look something like “terminalexecutable -e script.sh”

k i had the same problem

how do i install AIGLX?

why is it that for my new account test//testing to sudo he needs to put in HIS password, testing ??

did you reboot?

google for ‘ubuntu twinview’ and you’ll see some tips

Yes dudeicles

Okay, thanks

awesome, care to tell me what the -e is?

Anyone had problems with latest compiz fusion not showing window borders for WINE apps?

jzl, you need to check the man page of whichever terminal you are using, but it stands for execute jzl, some of them are -x jzl, basically the command reads, launch the terminal and execute script.sh

You may also need to install nvidia-settings

sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings?

yeah

ok.. just the default one on ubuntu under the Accessories menu

jzl, I think that is gnome-terminal, I don’t know how the parameters work for it

how do i install AIGLX?

if you don’t see it right awya, I would. That’s was how I got mine to work.

its been forked

… into what?

can’t remember the name

if all taht don’t work the last thing I did was the auto resolution checker and rebooted.

amv or something

i meant for looking at the contents of zip files and other archive types

i can start nvidia-settings in the terminal but i can’t configure the resolution

i am using openbox and dont have nautilus installed

auto resolution checker? Where can I get it?

if you double click a zip or .tar.gz file, nautilus (gnome’s file manager) will let you explore them

how do you set the side button on a wacom stylus to function as a right click, as opposed to scrollwhell click?

I’m trying to hook my hdtv up via svideo, and even thought I’ve set the right resolution, the display is shrunk down, only taking up a portion of the center of the screen… anyone know why?

how do i restart swat

I just assumed you needed the root password to do the commands. Is there a way to set it up where users can run root commands by entering the root password?

it does not seem to recognise the command

I am trying to use the restricted NVIDIA driver but when I click it nothing happends

Jabapyth, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kompozer

i uninstalled them by mistake

is there a way to make it so when I use apt to install it puts the program all in /usr/local/PROGRAM

was it an uninstall of the binaries, or did you just disable it in xorg.conf?

rather than spreading it out among /usr/bin /usr/lib /etc and so on

binaries

thaks so much!

the xorg.conf is unchanged

there *is* no root password

I am trying to use the restricted NVIDIA driver but when I click it nothing happends

I don’t understand why you want to make everyone know the root password. How many users are going to be using the box?

there *is* a root password on my system

Then modify sudo You need to edit /etc/sudoers

ah. ok sudo is a per-user privilege thing, it wont ask for the root password

try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati

(you can use ’su’ if you want to enter that one

Well. Sudo can ask for the root password. It does on almost every other distro.

because if I set it up that way, I could install programs and administer without having to log in as myself or root to do it, and at the same time the user wouldn’t be able to mess anything up

Then just remove them from the admin group.

sudo bash

Nobody but users in the admin group can use sudo

nathan, you can specify what users get sudo access, you know

No, not sudo bash, sudo -s or sudo -i

i’d use sudo -s

it says already installed

I want to be able to administer from anyone’s account

Do I have to do something for executables to be doubleclick-able?

as in click on synaptic package manager

Man, you’re making this situation complicated.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-ati

no you don’t

how to install flash 9?

hi, anyone knows why sometimes my Ubuntu system when moving large number of files at the same time or big files from my EXT to my FAT32 they disappear when i boot to my XP system?

reallyjoel, chmod +x /path/to/file

I just assumed this was how it was set up this whole time and I’m kind of surprised it’s far less secure than I thought

nothing happened

Modify /etc/sudoers, and if sudo is modified to ask for the user’s password and not the root password at the ode lefvel, recompile sudo.

sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree

How is it LESS secure to not have a root password?

can anyone help me with maildrop in a virtual mail setup ? I need maildrop for quota, but I can’t get it to work.

beerfan, flashplugin-nonfree

Not having a root password prevents you from a lot of different attacks.

or right click the file in nautilus, go to properties,and make it executable

because now any old bum who has sudo access is exactly the same as a full root

PriceChild, I mean the behavior of the file browser

what is a good burning program

Then remove their sudo access! Or limit the commands they can run.

reallyjoel, should normally work fine, will ask you whether you want to read or execute

something might have happened. make sure that somewhere in you xorg.conf the ati driver is specified, and then restart your xserver. hopefully the reconfiguring took effect

K3B is probably the best.

Couldn’t find package flash-nonfree”

SeveredCross, it sucks

that means all you need for root access is ANYONE’s access who is on sudo

Gnomebaker?

i’m getting 0% buffer while burning a dvd at 4x unacceptable

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

that’s dissapointing to me and I think I need to take a break right now..

Yeah but that’s a bit harder to accomolish.

sorry

You need to guess a username first. Those are a lot harder to guess compared to just trying root and guessing a root password.

download from adobe’s website, extract the packages and then put the .so file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

Is it workign now?

Despite what you may think, it ends up being more secure, at least IMO.

PriceChild, Konqueror doesnt say or do a thing when I doubleclick a file that i executable according to Konqueror itself

having full access to many users is not more secure than only to one imo.

i=is

reallyjoel, ahhh i was thinking you were talking nautilus in ubuntu, I don’t know sorry

is this section correct ?

can anyone help me. i am trying to install the libmad.0 for K3B. I didi through the synaptic but K3b is teilling me that it cant find it.

I booted up my pc, and I got an error, which prevented me starting ubuntu, so I installed sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx

Does anyone here know if, given that I can’t boot feisty from the Live CD but can install Dapper, that if I manage to upgrade to feisty ill lose access to the drives again?

sudo apt-get install libmad0

Section “Extensions” Option “Composite” “Enable” Option “Composite” “0″ EndSection

And no it’s not working

beerfan, after installing it usopen.org still gives an error “This application requires features of Flash 9, at minimum”

it would be more secure if you had no one on the sudo ilst, *I see that*, but in a situation where I don’t want to have to log in as root all the time it’s kind of insecure.

I really don’t see your point. If you don’t want everyone to have root access, remove their sudo privileges.

Thanks very much

is that it?

no, thats not the right section. running “sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg” will reconfigure the x server best it knows how. hopefully that will solve your problem. to look for the driver, run cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep ati to find it…

i’ll be on

my point is this: imagine a network of 40 people using ubuntu. every time you want to install something on someone’s computer you have to go over and log out completely and then log in as root just to do it because they don’t have sudo access. waste of time imo. wouldn’t it be much nicer to have it where all you had to do is go to synaptic and type in the root pw?

Anyone know how to solve no window borders for WINE apps?

help!

ok,time to reset

Then like I said, look into editing /etc/sudoers to your whims. And if sudo is compiled in to ask for the user and not the root password, recompile sudo.

thats not the way it works

if you’re administrating large networks and need to fix something on a specific computer you dont go over to fix it, you login remotely and do your magic.

thanks for the link. Saw that but hoped it was solved elsewhere

#gtk is good, and the gtkmm documentation has a great tutorial for C++

that wouldn’t help anything because I would still have to log out and back in as root

No. That would help because you’d make sudo ask for the root password.

you are kidding me …

ctrl-shift-c and ctrl-shift-v let you copy and paste in gnome-terminal. Or, just hilight to copy and middle click to paste (I prefer this)

logical is fine. it doesn’t matter, except that you can only have so many primary partitions (4 i think)
