P.S

insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-powerpc/kernel/drivers/video/[something or another]': No such file or directory

I'm getting a bunch of those messages, where I wrote something or another it has a filename with a "ko" extension

I had a probelm with not being able to use sudo after a fresh install on on my Ti Powerbook. I had to sign into root, and then change my permissions to allow my user to do admin. Sorry I am not more specific.

Did you happen to do an expert install?

#9 February 1, 2006

yes I did. When you do an expert install, the installer lets you set a root passwd, so the installer does not give your user name admin priviledges.

Well, to the OP, if you do a regular installation, your first user will have *sudo* privileges.
