[opensuse] SUDO and YaST effects
by Bryen 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

I'm experimenting a little bit with sudo functionality and came across this interesting quirk. If I set up a user who is allowed to launch yast2 and then I run the sudo command, yast2 always reverts to yast (ncurses) instead of the GUI in GNOME. if I su into root and run 'yast2', yast2 always comes up in GNOME as the GUI. Why can't I SUDO a user to get yast2 gui? I just tested this on my SLES server and found the effect was the same as here on my 10.3 box. Intentional quirk or an oversight no one noticed before? -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

There really wasn't much in the /home/bob/.config/compiz/compizconfig/config except "[kde_session] profile =" I've also done the ctrl +alt+ right/left arrow which will rotate the screen. Still don't get a cube. I also did the following which was suggested and this is what I got. Easystreet:/ # gnome-xgl-settings --disable xgl bash: gnome-xgl-settings: command not found Easystreet:/ # Now, Ted, I don't get a "ribbon" as you state. My display is full screen. I do get a "ribbon" (about 1/3 screen height) horizontally across the center of the screen which displays the other apps which would be open on the cube when I do a ctrl+alt+down arrow and will remain as long as I hold down the ctrl+alt keys. Then I can continue holding the ctrl+alt and do a left or right arrow and the focus of the center app will change. Think there could be a problem with the 100.14.19 driver?

I am sure this has been discussed before, but will openSUSE ever allow the user to run ifconfig? or allow it to be run via sudo ifconfig? Ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] amdcccle doesn't run

In 10.3, I get nothing when I run amdcccle from a command prompt. No error message, no core dump, it just hangs. Control-C gets me back to the prompt OK.
