as root, apt-get update then apt-get upgrade
now, when trying to exit antiX, nothing happens, have to hold the power button until the laptop turn off

how do you troubleshoot this problem?

Did you upgrade the /etc/sudoers file?
Post its content here.

in the meantime you can try in terminal

ShutdownCommand=sudo halt
RebootCommand=sudo reboot

also post results of inxi -F command in terminal so we can see what windows manager you are using also.

rokytnji,

thanks, appreciate your help
didn't know to upgrade the /etc/sudoers file; frankly, have no idea what to edit
your recommendations to shut down/reboot work, thanks

here's the info you requested, hope it helps ...

Looks like you accepted the debian maintainers version of /etc/sudoers file on your upgrade by saying yes"y" when asked during upgrade.

Open thunar as root using run in menu, Go to your /etc/sudoers file and rename it.

Code: Select all

sudoers.bk
Then make a new text file called

Code: Select all

sudoers
Copy and paste my posted

Code: Select all

# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the"visudo" command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root   ALL=(ALL) ALL

%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt 

%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot 

%users ALL= /usr/sbin/pppoeconf 

%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/fdisk 

##%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rox
into that blank new sudoers text file you just made with gedit and save it. Then log out and back in. Then try reboot and shutdown via gui again. When doing a dist-upgrade. Don't accept the maintainers version of sudoers file. Keep the default AntiX one next time.
Same for slim login also. Keep the AntiX one or you will lose the ability to change slim background with the background of your choice via antixcc and be stuck with Debian spacefun or other Debian backspash image background for Slim login background.

Edit: Mine is from a base install of AntiX 11 i686 iso while yours is i486 so I might be mistaken. I Hope somebody else weighs in on this.

I'm quite sure the sudoers file is the same for all variations of antiX. IMO you figured out the problem and gave a good solution. The only thing I would change would be to copy the original sudoers file instead of renaming it. That way if something awful happens happens before they get a chance to save the new sudoers file, they are still able to sudo.

Your /etc/sudoers file should look like this:

Code: Select all

# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the"visudo" command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#

# Host alias specification

Defaults    secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

# User privilege specification

%users ALL= /usr/sbin/pppoeconf  

%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/fdisk 

%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rox
ie you are missing thses 2 lines:

ok, copied anticapitalista's sudoers code, cp from my usb stick to /etc, cat the file and everything is there - still 'noworkee'

maybe I should re-install from the LiveCD, then based on what learned so far do the following

#1 apt-get update
#2 apt-get upgrade (watch carefully and do not accept any changes to 'sudoers' or ' slim login')
#3 remove game apps
#4 install iron

then I am back to ground zero ... thoughts?

Imart:

You could reinstall and try the steps you suggested. Alterntatively you could copy the sudoers file when runnnig live CD and see if that fixes it.

If everything else is working to your satfisfaction, I would conside if a resintall is worth the time and effor for a relatively minor problem, since you can just do halt from a terminal but it's up to you. I've certainly reinstalled plenty of times __{{emoticon}}__

Booted up my Antix 8.5 core i686 LXDE install on my Amrel to compare /etc/sudoers for grins

Noticed how my entry for those 2 lines missing lie Anti mentioned sit a little higher in the text file sudoers. __{{emoticon}}__

Shutdown, reboot, and Logout and lock screen work fine on both of my Installs. You will be asked imart after a dist-upgrade on whether to accept the package maintainers version for slim and sudoers. Just hit the enter key as that is the answer no. Enter key is default for no. You have to type in a y for yes to accept a package maintainers version. Things like udev you must accept the package maintainers version.

smxi explains this pretty well when doing dist-upgrades through smxi.

Not sure why your install went fubar. I run iron browser also. I used to run it static till iron gave up a listing with their .deb. package.

It could be possible you're haven't been added to the sudo group. Check to see if you've been added to it. it won't read it if your not in the group. perhaps this could be the problem.

this is mine and you see sudo there. if it's not there in yours, then you need to add yourself to it.
