Got a new harddrive, reinstalled Mandrake 9.2....use GNOME, have a good idea of what i'm doing during install so I don't think i did anything drastically different from previous ones.
However, since install, over half of my applications/launchers/etc can't be run as any user outside of root. plus, instead of just prompting me for root pws on applicable stuff, i.e. rpmdrake, harddrake, and the like, it just pops a window on me quoting "insufficient rights".
I thought this might have something to do with sudo (not too familiar with the program, it's just that it was suggested on a linuxhelp channel. I wasn't really sure where to start with sudo (except that I knew I had it), so I tried removing it and then recompiling it. As far as I know, it got reinstalled properly, but did nothing to change my situation.
I'm thinking this lack of access to half my launchers is the reason why i can't get anything on my menu unless i recompile them.
Thanks in advance, -stv
