| tweakster | i need to add a user to the sudo group. i see an instruction that says i should put it in the "end" of the file at /etc/sudoers; but i found a different instruction that says put it in that same file under the line "# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| tweakster | which one is right, or does it matter where i put it in the file? | 00:02 |
| tweakster | this is the setting to put: %user ALL=(ALL) ALL | 00:02 |
| tweakster | at the end of the file or under the line? that is the question. | 00:03 |
| tweakster | for the time being, while waiting to hear an answer, i went ahead and put it at the end of the file. that appears to have worked in allowing the said user to have sudo privilege. however, i am wondering whether it can create any problem down the line by having it at the end of the file instead of directly under the line mentioned above? | 00:08 |
| tweakster | can anyone recommend a good site for browsing the contents of the default lubuntu repository? I am looking for a way to browse it without having to install "lubuntu-software-center" to browse. | 00:14 |
| wilee-nilee | tweakster, lubuntu is using the ubuntu repositories the are not setup to browse through as far as I know. | 00:19 |
| tweakster | hi, wilee-nilee. thanks. yes, i knew they shared repos, but i was expecting some way of browsing. it's disappointing if not. | 00:21 |
| wilee-nilee | may be ways to query if a app is available, but it seems more like you want to so to speak window browse with apps being in specific categories. tweakster | 00:23 |
| tweakster | for now i may be able to get by with "apt-get" and queries | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | tweakster, You could install synaptic it will tell you what us there in several ways. | 00:29 |
| kanan | hello.. I am trying to dual boot a Dell inspiron 3520 with a pre-existing Win8 here | 08:06 |
| kanan | needed some help as I think I have screwed up something | 08:06 |
| kanan | This is with 13.04 beta | 08:06 |
| kanan | 1. I tried installing opensuse 12.3 first... it installed quite ok but could not find a driver for a BR chip | 08:07 |
| kanan | 2. So, I went over to ubuntu 13.04 as it supports uefi with secure boot.... that installed as well..no problems | 08:08 |
| kanan | 3. When I restart my computer, it does not start ...due to I think some boot-loader issues | 08:08 |
| kanan | 4. So I turn secure boot back on...delete all teh partitions and try to do a factory reset...the factory reset is not happening | 08:09 |
| kanan | and I am left with a uefi partition, a main win8 partition, a 500MB recovery partition, anotehr uefi partiton and a ~7G recovery partition and hte rest is free sapce | 08:10 |
| kanan | the computer turns on all right in win8 but I jsut want to get back to pristine condition... | 08:10 |
| kanan | should I just delete the second uefi with gparted? | 08:10 |
