Well, I have installed Debian with Lxde. I like the openbox desktop. But here begins the work. I may need to reinstall to make my life easier. I chose to not allow root login on this machine. It also seems that I, joshua the user, am not allowed to access the sudo command. I am not in the sudoers file. First I have seen that. From what I have read I am going to need to boot into a live CD and edit the file. Or I can do a minimal boot into /bin/sh and then mount some stuff that I need to edit the file. Either way it seems like it is going to be some work.<br>
<br>Does anyone have any tips about how to best accomplish this task of giving myself sudo access without a huge headache. Maybe I am just really tired because the instructions for the sudo file look really confusing. Even worse than Xorg or Xranr. Anyway, I am giong to bed. I will fight with it some more another day. Until then I will have to live with what I have since I cannot install anything else. <br>
<br>Yeah for me. I managed to F up my first real linux install. ( After this experience I do not really count Ubuntu as a serious linux install.)<br><br>Joshua<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 7:45 PM, Rev.
