| jrib | paulmaul24: ok, is "paul" the first account you created? | 04:10 |
| paulmaul24 | yes | 04:10 |
| jrib | and you unchecked everything for him in the "users and groups" program? | 04:10 |
| paulmaul24 | yea i was trying to imitate the settings under root | 04:10 |
| paulmaul24 | so it was like i was the administrator | 04:10 |
| jrib | you are the administrator by default | 04:11 |
| paulmaul24 | o | 04:11 |
| jrib | but now you're not since you unchecked everything :) | 04:11 |
| paulmaul24 | well now im not becus all the boxes r uncheked | 04:11 |
| paulmaul24 | yea lol | 04:11 |
| jrib | open up a terminal and type 'groups' and press enter | 04:11 |
| jrib | what is the output? | 04:11 |
| paulmaul24 | paul video netdev lpadmin powerdev | 04:12 |
| paulmaul24 | paul video netdev lpadmin powerdev | 04:12 |
| paulmaul24 | sory for the double | 04:12 |
| jrib | k, to be able to use 'sudo', you need to be in the admin group, so we'll add you back to that and then you should be able to go to "users and groups" again and check everything again for "paul" | 04:12 |
| paulmaul24 | ok | 04:13 |
| verb3k_ | jrib, following your conversation is really helpful for newbies (like me) thx | 04:13 |
| jrib | to add "paul" to the "admin" group, you need to: reboot and choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu. Then enter the command 'adduser paul admin' and reboot | 04:13 |
| jrib | verb3k_: great, np | 04:13 |
| paulmaul24 | ok thanks ill try it! thanks for all the help jrib | 04:14 |
