root access missing in dsl.....help
hi all
I have booted my system with DSL. I have changed the GUI. (ie) instead of loading the default the GUI, i am running an exe. I changed the file called .xinitrc with the exe name. The exe is executed successfully when the system default runlevel is 5. If any errors occurs in the exe, then showing some error respect to the exe and getting into the non user prompt named with dsl ( i havnt created the user, may be this is default). Now i want to provide the root Privileges to the dsl user. can anyone help me how to provide the root privileges to a non user? |

Anyway, all it does is start the x session. But really, there are standard approaches for changing the desktop in DSL. Quote:

Probably the default user has sudo access anyway... have you tried? If he dosn't, add him to the wheel group and edit the sudoers file. <pant> I need to go lie down. |

... I don't understand how you can use usbview instead of the "default GUI"? Quote:
As the DSL user, do you have a graphical desktop at all? (I don't understand your setup, but it sounds broken.) Can you run regular commands like: echo "hello world" ... from a terminal? |

Please reply to the first two questions in post #6.
If you want to install a vanilla kernel, you will first need to install the programming tools... gcc, et al. But it sounds to me like you really need to be using Debian. Mind you, you could always try installing a debian kernel... http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin/fo...t;f=12;t=19783 |
Thanks simon.
Both links were useful. It seems i have to download individual packages using apt-get install. So i will download the gcc package and will try installing it. |
