[QUOTE=FlapadarV2;30689658]Take a core dump and analyse it. Easier said than done though. [/QUOTE] that might diagnose the problem but I'm looking for a remedy
[QUOTE=BlueYoshi;30689773]Well shit, I got VNC working on my CentOS 5.6 but now when I connect I see that my user is normal, not admin. I have full access via SSH though so is it possible to upgrade my account trough SSH to be admin? [img]http://i.imgur.com/KIO8S.png[/img] See that? There are supposed to be many more options there like "Add or remove software" etc.[/QUOTE] useradd -o -u 0 <username>? [editline]25th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=SigmaLambda;30689820]that might diagnose the problem but I'm looking for a remedy[/QUOTE] Can't remedy something if you're not sure of what's causing it in the first place I guess.

In the SSH I'm logged in an root@sebba, but the only user in GNOME is root. [editline]25th June 2011[/editline] Also, I would like to modify my current user, not add more.
If you're logged in as root, you are superuser..
[QUOTE=FlapadarV2;30690281]If you're logged in as root, you are superuser..[/QUOTE] Well yeah, in the SSH, but when I goto the VNC I am not. I can not control the install since its a 1-click install thingy. Dont you know some command to modify the user group?
usermod?
[QUOTE=FlapadarV2;30690436]usermod?[/QUOTE] usermod -g root(group) root(name) Doesnt work.
how do i install internet explorer 6 on my computer :psyduck:
Why do i get negative scaling when running the heaven benchmark on my crossfired 6870's, is this a fault on my behalf or is the benchmarks just crap? (EG: my friend's 560TI gets high 1000's in score, yet i get 422 for 2 6870s)
So I am going on a plane Sunday and I have not flown since I was 6 and I was wondering if I could use my computer in flight or if they would think I was blowing up the plane or if it was like a big LAN party with businessmen.
What's a good LAN game for 4 people? Preferably laptop playable, and non FPS.
[QUOTE=Johnbooth;30692476]What's a good LAN game for 4 people? Preferably laptop playable, and non FPS.[/QUOTE] If Magicka supports LAN, then Magicka
[QUOTE=Johnbooth;30692476]What's a good LAN game for 4 people? Preferably laptop playable, and non FPS.[/QUOTE] warhammer 40k is always good but nothing beats AOM IMO, also MTA is good but that is a shooter.
[QUOTE=FlapadarV2;30689903]useradd -o -u 0 <username>?[/QUOTE] :doh: What the fuck good would that do? There could be a number of reasons why you don't have an Add/Remove Programs deal: - Your distro doesn't do that (as far as I know Ubuntu and Fedora are the only ones that do) - You somehow uninstalled it - Your user isn't in the right group (and root is NOT the right group) First, try `gpasswd -a <you> wheel`. This is the command to add you to the "proper" list of people who should be able to do such things (well, officially there is no proper list, but wheel is used in /etc/sudoers documentation so everyone just started using wheel, and it stuck). If that doesn't make Add/Remove Programs appear immediately, try logging out (or closing X, either or) and logging back in. Still not there? You're stuck with command line. If you're using a Debian based system: `sudo apt-get install <something>` - Install shit `sudo apt-get remove <something>` - Uninstall shit `sudo apt-[b]cache[/b] search watermelon` - Search packages for "watermelon". Note that this one is apt-cache, not apt-get. `sudo apt-get out` - A disguised unfunny version of :frog: [editline]OK you got me I didn't use automerge[/editline] Wait, you're root. Subtract sudo from every command and you're definitely in the right group
I am sharing through windows 7. I used to be able to just drag media into the sharing folders and they would automatically update with the new media I added. But now I have to manually share everything I add.
whenever I go into sleep or hibernate mode, I can't resume and have to shut down/restart my laptop can anybody help me?

Logged out and in, restarted the vncserver service and the whole VPS, nothing is changed. And I know that my distro does that, there are plenty of video confirming this. This is the /root/.vnc/sebba:1.log [img]http://i.imgur.com/4Af8Y.png[/img] [editline]25th June 2011[/editline] Also, the name is root, even though my SSH user is called sebba. And it does NOT have admin, even though something is called it doesnt mean it has it. I am for example not a blue yoshi in real life.
Are you sure you even have the package installed that provides the software install center or whatever the fuck it's called

When I turn on my computer everything starts up, it runs for a few seconds then shuts down. Then it starts up again properly. Is this a problem? Also my computer gets random bsod's and twice this week when I started it up I got the message overclocking failed even though I have not been overclocking.

If yes, make sure you didn't accidently turn it on.
[QUOTE=cathal6606;30700420]When I turn on my computer everything starts up, it runs for a few seconds then shuts down. Then it starts up again properly. Is this a problem?[/QUOTE] I've gotten that on multiple computers. Like 3+. It seems to be a common problem.
[QUOTE=Schmaaa;30686167]This is a weird one. I recently bought all the parts for my new PC. Everything seems okay, no failed parts or anything. The odd thing is, when I try to install Windows 7, it freezes up at the "Windows is starting" screen. I've tried waiting it out, and a couple other things, but it always does it at the exact same spot. I looked up my problem on Google and the only solution I could find was replacing the PSU, which I don't see how that would work. However, about 5 different people solved the same problem the same way. What I want to know is if there's a way to fix this without replacing the PSU, since that would take time and likely money. Here's the specs: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit OEM 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM (2x2 gb) AMD Athlon II x4 640, 3.0Ghz Corsair TX650W Power Supply Biostar A770e3 Motherboard ASUS ENGTX460 768Mb[/QUOTE] Still have this problem, I tried another PSU, and it didn't work either. I've also tried my dad's copy of Windows 7, that didn't work either. I have no idea what the problem is.
[QUOTE=Eltro102;30699573]Aptitude comes wih every linux distro (sometimes it might be yum though)[/QUOTE] Wrong. It comes with every [b]Debian[/b] based distro. The Red Hats (i.e. Fedora) don't have it (uses yum instead). Arch doesn't have it (uses pacman) Gentoo doesn't have it (uses Portage), though you [b]can[/b] install dpkg if you're desperate for something that's only packaged in .deb format The SUSE family doesn't have it (uses zypper) Slackware doesn't have it (doesn't even have a package manager as far as I can tell) the list goes on Anyway I have a question. I have a nice laptop, touchscreen, can turn into a tablet, good shit. HP Pavilion TX1410. Turns out the heat issues it's been having isn't a shitload of dust, it's a defective bit that's now killed the wireless adapter and there's a class action lawsuit. I'd just send it in but they'll just send me back a craptop with probably half the specs of this one (not that this one had good specs to begin with anyway) and no touchscreen. Is this bit easy to replace? I can't find the link to which bit it is exactly (might be the wireless, might be graphics, who knows?), so I can't tell you, sadly. If not I'll just go get my money back and spend it on something else.
Is there a way of using my freenas server as a wireless point? the one in my router doesn't want to work anymore

I ordered a Processor earlier today, but right before I bought it I was asked to be sure I knew it was OEM/retail, this isn't anything important right? Just doing a little build for myself.
I have this 2.1 system: [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P1D7O0/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0020HRHL6&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1WZ0QKNNTMC9AJ97DB2A[/url] Is there anyway to make the subwoofer rumble my desk anymore? Point it down or something?
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;30679149]GTX 460, and what brand and precise model is that PSU? That's much more important than the wattage.[/QUOTE] BFG
