Can't use synaptic and other stuff as regular user

Hi there, I have another problem. I've installed KDE, and I've installed Synaptic. The problem that occurs is that I can only launch Synaptic if I've logged in as root, it doesn't work even if I've used 'su' in a Konsole session on my own account. It seems X can only generate the windows if I'

Re: Audio HOWTO?

Hmmm... Doesn't seem to work! I don't get any sound, even as root. Which kernel modules are needed to make it work? And what else could be the trouble? //Markus. Mike Chandler wrote: On Friday 16 April 2004 01:52 am, Markus Lindström wrote: Hi there, I was wondering if someone coul

Mounting an NTFS partition: users can't access it.

Hi there again, I'm having some rouble mounting my NTFS partition. The actual mounting problem goes without trouble, the thing is that only the superuser can actually access the drive. How can I change this? Thanks in advance, Markus. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subje

Audio HOWTO?

Hi there, I was wondering if someone could pinpoint me to some (easy) guide for getting the audio to work in Debian. I'm currently running Sarge, and have a SBLive card (should use the emu10k1 module). I need to know what packages are needed and so on, because I have no idea where to begin. Th

Re: Debian unstable: X won't run.

Well, the only thing I changed were the vertical and horizontal refresh rates (I got them from my screen manufacturer's website). Once that was done, X ran without problems. Hope this helps! //Markus. The Packers wrote: Hi, I'm having the same problem that you said you fixed in Debian unstable.

Re: Debian unstable: X won't run.

Problem solved. For some reason, dpkg-reconfigure didn't change the default XF86Config-4, so I had to do it manually, and X works now. Markus Lindström wrote: Hi there again, it's time for another newbie problem! Okay, here's the rundown: I've done a dist-upgrade to unstab

Debian unstable: X won't run.

Hi there again, it's time for another newbie problem! Okay, here's the rundown: I've done a dist-upgrade to unstable, and this worked well (apparently). I then decided to install X by installing the x-window-system package. I configured xserver-xfree86, using default settings mostly, and tried t

VFS: Cannot open root device

Okay, here's the deal. I'm a newbie trying to get Debian Woody to work on my comp. Unfortunately, the native 2.4.18 kernel shipped with it doesn't support my network card. On the other hand, compiling a newer 2.4 kernel resolves the problem. BUT, I'm trying to compile a 2.6 kernel (which I've h
