[00:02] <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
[00:03] <tweakster> at the end of the file or under the line? that is the question.
[00:08] <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?
[00:14] <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.
[00:19] <wilee-nilee> tweakster, lubuntu is using the ubuntu repositories the are not setup to browse through as far as I know.
[00:21] <tweakster> hi, wilee-nilee. thanks. yes, i knew they shared repos, but i was expecting some way of browsing. it's disappointing if not.
[00:23] <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
[00:28] <tweakster> for now i may be able to get by with "apt-get" and queries
[00:29] <wilee-nilee> tweakster, You could install synaptic it will tell you what us there in several ways.
[08:06] <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
[08:07] <kanan> 1. I tried installing opensuse 12.3 first... it installed quite ok but could not find a driver for a BR chip
[08:08] <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
[08:09] <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
[08:10] <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?
