Deletions are marked like this. Additions are marked like this.

I had written a very short and simple page on how to enable the root user: EnableRootLogin, but someone has decided to delete it, without letting me know, and re-direct it to something a lot more complex. I suppose that's some people's idea of Freedom of Speech. Unfortunately, I have a different concept of it. I shall then, from now own, only add pages to my own website, and add links to that in here. That is, as long as they don't delete this page too!

The page is now here: http://lucidia.net/blog/KubuntuEnableRootLogin.html		 I had written a very short and simple page on how to enable the root user: EnableRootLogin.

Who I am

My name is Hervé Fache, I am French, and I live in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil.

My knowledge level

I am an expert in Linux systems and network administration. I am also an advanced Windows user.

Where I installed Kubuntu

  • an old laptop, running Breezy, using XFCE (used occasionally)
  • a server, running Breezy (24/7, my main desktop)
  • a desktop, running Dapper (used too little, and too much on its Windows side!)

  • a MacIntosh G3, running Breezy (rarely used, anyone wants to buy?)

My participation

I had written a very short and simple page on how to enable the root user: EnableRootLogin. It has since been remove and linked to RootSudo. The original page can still be found here: http://lucidia.net/blog/KubuntuEnableRootLogin.html

I have now moved my server from Slackware to Kubuntu, and I have tried to keep a record of what I have done, in case it can help others... That page can be found here: http://lucidia.net/blog/KubuntuFromSlackware.html

My quick advices

  • Use apt-cacher, not apt-proxy.
  • set Xorg priority to -5 to play DVDs smoothly
  • use nfs-kernel-server rather then nfs-user-server
  • use libjasper-runtime for Kopete to support webcam calls
  • use Mozilla plugins (including flash) for Konqueror too

  • when lost, try the unofficial guide: http://ubuntuguide.org/
