I have a problem about user permission, I just destroy my user...So, I create a new one. But I can't have the permission to use "sudo" or to install program... So, I cannot do a lot of thing in my computer. The logical solution is to boot in failsafe mode and access to the root terminal, but, I don't know how to change the permission to allow me to use sudo.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI adjusted some settings in the desktop settings folder in KDE. I had only one user account on the machine. Next time I rebooted I could not log into KDE (it kept bombing out). I had to log into the console. Finally I managed to create a new account with useradd but this user cannot sudo
My problem is that my home directory is encrypted, so I need a new user with sudo privileges to delete all the kde files and folders in my original users home directory so that I can start with a new KDE setup (which won�t be a bad thing since I tinkered a lot).
How can I add sudo privileges to the new account (I presume I can do it by logging in with my sudo account in a terminal login?
I have the following commande /sbin/fuser -f -u /u/DT01/F010107 1>/tmp/null 2>/tmp/seausr.T0069 when executing as root 'su' this give me all user using the file. but when tried with 'sudo' i am asked with 'user password'. Is ther anyway to simply get the result without having to supply a password and to see all user not only me. (i have the file open also).

I've been trying to install 10.04 on a pc. The hard drive seems reluctant to let anything be written. I am wiping the drive with Acronis Drive Cleanser. After the wipe, should I have Acronis format or should I open the 10.04 iso and have the installer do the formatting?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had to uninstall a proprietary ATI driver because it wrecked my X server. Apparently I removed the wrong package, because now the X server won't even start, even with the "nomodeset" flag.
QUESTION 1.How can I configure WiFi on the command line with NetworkManager or ifup, whichever is easier?
QUESTION 2.Which packages do I need to download to restore the X server?
I Installed Ubuntu x64 10.04 on an Hp HDX 16 with Nvidia 9600m video card. I am having an issue that the screen is very dim and it gives one a headache to read it for long periods of time, especially in a bright room. I can adjust the contrast and brightness from the nvidia control panel but I can never get it just right it will either look washed out or just muddy. Everything was fine in Windows 7 a day or so ago. Is this a backlight issue?
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
I have a 300 GB hard drive and 3 GB RAM and its Core2Duo processor on which I have created 3 partitions when I installed Windows.
1. C: - 100 GB in which Windows is installed.
2. D: - 100 GB in which I have kept my personal stuff.
3. Unallocated space of 100 GB.
I want to install Ubuntu in this un-allocated space. How do I proceed for dual booting? I do not understand how to create partitions
I tried to boot from the 9.04 Live CD on my Titanium Powerbook 550mhz. It just comes up as various grayscale lines. Very strange because i know of no problem with its ATI video. OTOH, I was able to boot the same cdrw and install onto my G4imac with no problems, even though it has nvidia graphics card.
Any ideas how to proceed in getting it to work on the TiBook?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition to install DSpace on my desktop. I had install all the JDK,MAVEN,ANT and Postgresql. After i install these prequisites, I start to install DSpace(dspace-1.6.1-release). When i reach mvn pacakge, it will start to download packages. After a few minutes, it will stop on here [as shown below]:
Downloading: [URL] [INFO] Unable to find resource 'org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-module-xdoc:jar:1.0-alpha-11' in repository java.net [URL] Downloading: [URL]
why it will only stop on this step and can't proceed to download other package? What should I do so that the mvn package can download all the packages that it want?

I'm installing this on an HP XW6600 with hardware raid striped.
I can use the supergrub rescue CD to boot to ubutu after, but whatever I do doesn't seem to get grub installed.
Any ideas on how to proceed? I'm guessing I need to install grub from scratch.
I'm at step 2c in the sticky "My wireless doesn't work - A primer." and yes, my HTC G1 phone isn't listed and your sticky says nothing more can be done. So, my question is how lsusb generates that list... Is it querying the device, extracts the information and prints that information to the display or is SuSE comparing whatever info is returned, matches that information (eg VendorID/ProductID) to a database of supported devices, then prints the result to display?
This is important, because if the former is true, then it looks like I may be SOL getting this to work in SuSE. If the latter is how things really work, then I assume that if I'm able to add an entry for my phone things can proceed.
explain the difference between these two commands. I'm currently reading about changing your mac address and both of these commands show up a lot. They sound like the same thing to me. Is one better than the other, or do you need to use both to change your mac address?
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
I have a 3ware controller that has a RAID 1 of two SATA disks.After an outage, the linux box (which is running ubuntu), restarted and the partition is now mounted read only. I only have the "/" mount point (this is a test server).Now, if I go to the 3ware controller by pressing ALT-3 while booting, I don't see any indication that there is something wrong with the disks.If I let the computer boot, I'm asked by fdisk if I want to fix/ignore/etc the inconsistencies found.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to allow normal fsck boot-time checks when running on battery power? After looking around, the only solution I've seen is to manually alter the /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh and /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh files and remove the AC power check. There must be a better way than that surely?

Press 'y' to make a copy of this result into a file or 'n' to return to the main menu.. I understand the "press any key to continue" would go something like
Code:
read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to continue.." But i try many different ways of getting the "press a particular key" function, and none of them works.
I have done a new install of Fedora 14 but the RTL8191 wirless card is not being recognised. Realtek have provided the driver source but the make operation is failing because (I think) Fedora 14 isn't provided with the kernel source to enable it to complete successfully.
Basically (in easy to understand steps): how do I download correctly the Kernel source to enable the driver make operation to proceed?

A day ago I finally got around to upgrading the PackageKit installation that had been sitting for a week and a half, so I found a new upgrade for sudo available - the one that gives the sudoreplay command, I forget which version number it is exactly. When I try to use the sudo command I get this notice in my terminal:Code:Can't open /var/db/sudo/me/1: Permission deniedI didn't get it before. What do I have to do to make it open? I'm using SELinux in enforcing mode if that helps.
