you might need to install it:

pacman -S gnome-terminal

dids22 · 2007-04-10 22:28:43

oh... i thought it's come in default

what are the commands for install nv driver and sudo?

thanks u!!!

ozar · 2007-04-10 22:34:26

you'd better take a look at the wiki for those:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … DIA_driver

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo

pacman -Ss <package> searches for a package. pacman -S <package> installs it.

i.e.

pacman -S sudo

You may want to read these articles:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … DIA_driver
and in general, just browse/search the wiki/forums. Most of your questions are probably already answered there.

Good luck!

You might need hal? Just guessing...for it to show up in nautilus since it is so big. Not sure though.

Ramses de Norre · 2007-04-11 08:38:42

For that ls thingy, bash can't handle names with spaces like that. You need to either quote the path (ls "/media/c/Documents and Settings/") or escape the spaces with a backslash (ls /media/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/).

dids22 · 2007-04-11 08:39:39

hal? what is it?

junglepeanut · 2007-04-11 09:51:08

What it is from google.

http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal

Or even in our own forums and wiki...this one from google as well. (hint try google and the wiki as others said)

1. don't log in as root, it's stupid. Use su/sudo/gksudo instead

2.man uname

3. not afaik (anyone else know?)

4. try 'modprobe floppy' or 'modprobe ide-floppy'

5. don't know. search the forum

Edit: oh, and pacman -S gnome-extra gives you alot of nice extra stuff, if you havn't installed it already.

1) what the problem to log in as root? now , everytime i open terminal i need to write "su"

2)how i used with this tool?

3)somone know?

4) it's just add me new icon that is not working too

ozar · 2007-04-15 00:07:31

You shouldn't log in and work within the root account because it's considered to be a big security risk. Someone might be able to gain access to your machine and take it over, whether online, or locally. There is also a big risk of you accidentally doing some kind of damage to the installation itself.

Having said that, it's quicker to su to root from your user account, do your admin chores, and then exit right back into your user account than it would be to login as root, then have to log out of root and then login to your user account. Lots of people that actually log into the root account tend to stay there once in it. Again, that's not good.

dids22, don't take this the wrong way; I've recommended you to install ubuntu/suse/pclinuxos in the past, and i still think you should, until you grasp the basics of a linux system a little bit better.

Unless you enjoy solving these issues you are having with arch linux, that is!

dids22 · 2007-04-15 14:21:03

no thanks....

You'll need to learn to read manpages... uname -srv gives you all info about the kernel, tune2fs will let you change drive labels (look in the man page...).
