Hi All
I have just successfully switched to Debian Lenny from Ubuntu hardy.
Its taking a while to getting used to, but I hope I learn soon.
I thought I may ask some questions about debian here.
Here is my diary about the Debian install:
is there anything out of ordinary there ? I will keep updating...
I have just successfully switched to Debian Lenny from Ubuntu hardy.
Its taking a while to getting used to, but I hope I learn soon.
I thought I may ask some questions about debian here.
Here is my diary about the Debian install:
- This installer is too damn easy to use. Its fun. W00t! install completed.
- GRUB looks better than in ubuntu. WTH is this only 5 seconds wait time ?
- WTF ? Login in text mode ? K no problem.
- Guess KDE is not installed
- sudo apt-get install KDE
- sudo command not found
- hehehe even sudo is not installed by default
- time to leave
- hard reboot via restart button
- lets try single user mode
- WTF ? I forgot my password
- Woops. I guess I didn't forget the password after all. It was just slightly lengthened.
- apt-get install sudo
- thats better
- apt-get install kde
- insert CD ?
- ok fine. here you go
- inserted CD
- darn, I think the net is too slow
- 15kbps download speed for 2280kb
- rest from CD
- this install is boring
- let me play guitar a bit
- w00t! install finished
- exit
- yay! KDM!
- omgwtf ? kstartupconfig not installed it says when I log in
- time to go back to root mode
- apt-get install kstartupconfig
- package does not exist
- damn you
- time to go to sleep. will worry later
- so it turns out I don't have permission to view my own home folder
- reboot, go to windows mode, safe mode with networking
- find out the darn command for loading the list
- #think-digit @ chat.freenode.net
- QwertyM: I don't help distro hoppers and windows users unless I am bored
- Me: fug you
- aditya|movies: chown gautham /home/gautham -R
- aditya|movies: chgrp users /home/gaytgan -R
- Me: Thanks bro
- reboot
- yup problem fixed
- time to configure debian
- wait a sec, damn I lack sudo privilage
- restart
- visudo was the command this time
- found I need to add gautham ALL = (ALL)ALL after a line root ALL = ALL(ALL)
- ctrl+X to exit, Y to save
- confirm my findings
- go to #think-digit again
- aditya|movies: useradd -G root gautham
- me: you sure ? here is mine...
- aditya|movies: whats visudo ?
- me: guess I shall try both in that case
- wow, editing worked
- damn aditya's methord said user already exists
- exit
- haha I am a sudoer now
- time to really mess with debian now
- configuring is fun
- I R 1337 themer
- lemme make my own theme, because default configuration sucks
- purple is good
- wait a sec, net was slow because debian uses BSNL DNS by default. my mistake.
- OpenDNS FTW !
- Time to try out more stuff
- I don't have a proper sources.list file
- can someone get me a good one ?
is there anything out of ordinary there ? I will keep updating...
