I know from the meeting last night that alot of you guys use Kubuntu, so, naturally, I decided to load up the disc I was graciously given! I must say, I'm impressed. I'm almost considering using it fulltime.
Couple things though, maybe someone could help
- Users. Is there any way of adding users in a "foolproof" or "Wizard" way where it automatically puts them in the proper groups? Because I have no idea which groups a regular user should belong to, and what extra groups an administrator should belong to.
- Root - How do I set it up so I can login graphically with Root (bad idea, yes, but, I have my reasons). I have done sudo passwd and set the password, but the login screen says that root can't do that.
- Printing. How do I make the box go looking on my network for a printer? I went to "Network printer (tcp)" in the Add Printer box, but I found that it couldn't find it. (It said it was searching
127.0.0.1 so maybe searching localhost is a problem! :-/) So, I ended up having to tell it it was a Samba printer (it's both, its running on a linux box) - I think it works, but it just seems wrong to have two linux boxes talking over Samba :S
- PHP and MySQL server. -- in most distros, you just goto the package manager, load up php and its deps, and mysql and its deps, and boom, it dumps them into /var/www/html/ in the proper subdirectory, vuala, it works. I loaded the necessary packages via Adept and I don't see anything in /var/www other then the DocumentRoot (which is in /var/www instead of /var/www/html where I usually find it!!)
So yes, any words to the wise is much appreciated!
