Hello everyone, I have added a section for people wanting/offering rides to the ABES Engineering College workshop this Sat., the 23rd.

The problem has not been solved yet. While I can access the Internet using Windows, I cannot do the same with GNU/Linux distros. Should I not file a case with Consumer Forum? What do you suggest? Any one on the list using SIFY connection? Do you face similar problem? Are you using the official Sify client for GNU/Linux? If so then FYI it's worse than useless. I used Sify a loong time back (and the decision to switch for MTNL was one of the best decisions I took in my life). I had to use a 3rd party app by Bhushan Tiwari to get it working - find the code at http://n.domaindlx.com/ujjwal/linux/sify_tweaked2.c.

[ilugd] problems after usermod abuse
Hello Friend,
I did a mistake :(
I log into ubuntu using the primary user id 'niyaz' (created during
installation).
I was trying virtualbox and on the first run it told me 'niyaz' is not
in vboxusers group.
well, that revelation striked me quite hardly, i guess.
And i fired:
$ sudo usermod -G vboxusers niyaz
and it transmigrated me to vboxusers.
I lost the sudo power.
In an attempt to rehabilitate 'niyaz'
I booted the system with the Ubuntu live disk,
added 'niyaz ALL=(ALL) ALL' to /etc/sudoers
but it left some challenges for me:
- 'niyaz' can't unlock users-admin (gui tools to manage users) although
users can be added/deleted with useradd/userdel. it exits with error
number 6868.
- similarly 'niyaz' can't unlock services-admin (gui tool to manage
services)
- synaptic package is working fine ('niyaz' is getting authenticated by
it)
- 'niyaz' doesn't have permission to access other auto mounted
partitions.
please suggest me what else i need to do.
Thanks to you all,
Niyaz

Now boot again from live cd and add yourself to admin group.
And the command should have been
sudo usermod -a -G vboxuser niyaz

On a terminal running in X, do following
$ xhost +si:localuser:root
$ sudo su -
# export DISPLAY=:0
# users-admin
Now in the Users Administration dialog box, navigate to Privileges box and
grant appropriate privileges. All of these privileges are actually groups,
user should be in. Now, after granting appropriate privileges.
# exit
$ xhost -si:localuser:root

PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too. Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and persuade others. In case you are already doing this . great, spread the message. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
