1. To connect to the internet:
- for pppoe, run -> pppoe-setup (follow on-screen instructions)
- for wireless, -> use wicd
- for dialup, -> use Wvdial
2. Am guessing u have created a new account and have not added the appropriate groups.
see this list and do the needful->
Code:
sam@Sam:~$ groups
sam bin daemon sys tty disk wheel audio video cdrom games slocate shadow ftp haldaemon plugdev power netdev scanner users console
then as root u can use "visudo" from the terminal and then edit accordingly.-> (assuming ur comfortable with vi editor)
Code:
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
# Defaults specification
# Runas alias specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Same thing without a password
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
# Samples
# %users ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom
# %users localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now
then u can use the following commands to successfully shutdown or reboot:
for reboot ->
for shutdown ->
Code:
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
Hope this helps.
