Bruno Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Just wanted to know how the general impression was and how smooth it runs on a 64bits system. Bruno Quote

kamicota Posted August 18, 2006 Author Posted August 18, 2006 here WE go againHope I am not on an Ubuntu trek like EricDid NOT get the chance to put in root password so can NOT access apt-get and--->>>Sound shows PCM 100% but hear NO sound from mp3'sAny ideas please Cheers for years colin Quote
Bruno Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Hi ColinUbuntu does not use "su" --> password . . . It uses "sudo"For each command you place "sudo" and a dialog will pop up to ask your USER-password !You can set a root password in Ubuntu though . . ( if that makes life easier for you ): $ sudo passwd And it will ask you to set a root password. Bruno Quote
kamicota Posted August 18, 2006 Author Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks BrunoI had ALSO tried sudo but without passwd eh???Well we are now in and even managed to install VLC & NVU from NEW repositories I put into synaptic but LOST bitornado somewhere along the waySo we ARE making some progress and even Gnome is growing on meCheers for years colin Quote
