This is different from any other OS how?

Well with windows I generally get it to a point where I am done. I suppose that's only I can't really customize it more.

There is something to be said for greater freedom to improve I suppose

You'd be surprised at exactly what you can do with Windows, lol. I'll grab a screen of my gf's netbook whenever I get back home from out of state. I've got Windows 7 acting -almost- like most of my Linux boxes. Key shortcuts along with vi based commands to control the OS. Fun stuff programming is thumb.gif

Yeah I guess I am not all that knowledgeable about such things. I think I am better with Linux but when it comes down to it its more that I just know where to look for answers vs really knowing what to do. tongue.gif

Yeah I'm with you Cav....I kind of get to a point with windows and go..."meh, it's windows. It's a unitard." I'm more worried about breaking windows as getting everything working again on it is generally not more painful...but more prolonged.

So...I still have to do pacman -Syy before pacman -Syu will work...I think I've screwed the pooch...also, sudo no longer asks for a password. So back to digging around on problems. Stupid Chromium though being buggy. I need my bookmarks. mad.gif

sudo nano / gedit / whatever /etc/sudoers

Make sure these lines are right;
Code:
 74 ## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
 75 %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
 76 
 77 ## Same thing without a password
 78 # %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

As to the pacman issue, you may have to post that on the arch forums, honestly haven't seen / heard of that one myself but I'm sure one of the pacman devs or others can step in and solve it.

I thought you had to run visudo as root to edit the sudo file?

Hmm...that's more of a minor problem as right now since I'm the only user on here and now my issue with Chromium has now moved to/shown up on Firefox. eek.gif I'm totally perplexed why this total lock up thing would happen but I'm trying to fix it. Any idea on how to setup ALSA so it actually uses the right sound card? Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I only found it pointed me to /var/lib/alsa/asound but that didn't look like it would set the default sound device. I'm just starting to look up that one.

If you're going to be switching a lot betwen usb / onboard, then I would suggest asoundconf pretty easy to use. Otherwise you'd have to go manually hack your .asoundrc file.

Man I wish I'd known you could use nano to edit sudo before. I hate VI. The arch guide tells you to ONLY use visudo.

If you want to use nano EDITOR=nano visudo with the way the guide tells you tongue.gif

I've used both but one some systems it works and some it doesn't. My desktop it won't, my laptop it will. Just one of the few quirks tongue.gif

I'm also not big on sudo much anyways, I always su into root when I have to so meh lol
