Re: [orca-list] sysadmin help



Ah! Try this

sudo /usr/sbin/synaptic

and see if that works.

If it does, then sudo is messing with your PATH, and I can help you
fix that.

After the command "% sudo synaptic" the result is "cannot find command" . I 
tried to translate from Dutch.

Milton,

Can you try running sudo from within a gnome-terminal and tell us what
the output of the sudo command is?

alt+f2: gnome-terminal
(inside the terminal)
% sudo symaptic
<what happens here>

Also, please know that you can use other tools like aptitude or
apt-get to manage packages.

Hope that helps,

Jim

Hello listers,
I'm new with Ubuntu/linux. The installation was a great success and right 
now I run Ubuntu 8.04.1 and Orca 2.23.6.
I need your help for getting sysadmin accessibility. I did the following: 
In /root I create a .orbitrc file and with the cat command I
see the 2 lines
ORBIIOPIPv4=1
and
ORBIIOPUNIX=0
and with the visudo command I add the line
Defaults env_keep+="GTK_MODULES"
With the chmod command the permission was set to 440
But still no access to e.g. sudo synaptic.
Did I miss something or do something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Milton
