Well that might fix it, if I knew how to change it from read only so it can be edited. Were this Windows I could run a text editor with elevated Administrator rights, make the change, save it then it goes back to its usual untouchable setting. Is there a way to change settings so I can be a user with full access to everything so I don't have to constantly be entering a password for Every Little Change until I have the system working? Have to enter a password just to change the power management settings so it won't go to sleep. (Shouldn't the defaults be pre-changed to no sleeping or standby for LinuxCNC?) On Windows I have my login with Administrator rights and turn off User Account Control so I don't have the OS constantly pestering me about "Do you really want to do that?" Are you *really* sure you want to do that?" "Come on, you really don't want to do that!". I'd like to do that with Linux, have it so I can do everything I need to do without having to constantly genuflect to the ghod of security, then lock things down when it's ready for the less computer savvy to use. Ie, when a configuration file needs edited I want to be able to edit it without having to hop around in a spinward circle while holding my nose and whistling the Katamari Damacy theme song. ;-) I've used and fixed computers for 30 years, DOS since 2.1, Windows since 3.0, Mac System 7.1 through 9.2.2. Haven't bothered much with Linux or OS X, tried BeOS until that company went out of business. I've been looking around at what's included in this CD image and I see several things that could be left out. Firefox, some multimedia software, Gnumeric and some others. Has anyone done a stripped down, bare bones install that has nothing but Ubuntu, LinuxCNC and the window manager/gui? I want this box to not have anything on it except for LinuxCNC because that is all it will be doing. It won't be used for CAD or altering designs. Its sole purpose will be moving a cutting torch. Put a piece of metal on the table, open the design file, cut it. That's it. Has to be something I can easily train the people who'll be operating it. Having other software installed will only tempt some operator to try to do other things. Lemme guess, it'll ask for a password just to uninstall Firefox, if it isn't an operation restricted to root access? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
