Dear friends,
I've installed ubuntu 5.10 on my system.
When i tried to login as root from login screen it doesn't allow me to
login
as root. Is there any way to login as root on desktop?
when i login as a different user logged successfully on my system,
but when i try to run any administrative application from System menu from
panel, it asks me to enter root password, when i enter it correctlly it
doesn't run the specified application and display a message that says,
"failed to run users-admin(, ...) as user root: wrong password".
Now how can i solve this proble.

I make heavy use of the dictionary applet on my desktop. I must look up
ten words a day. Over the last few days I've been getting an error saying
that the server is no online. I checked the preferences and it looks like
it is using dict.org. Does anyone know what the problem is? Should I
change servers? Any suggestions, I'm in St. Louis MO, USA?
Thank you,

Hi
Does anyone have any experience with hibernating a Dell C600 laptop?
With "hoary" on the same laptop I just used to type "sudo
/etc/acpi/hibernate.sh" and the laptop would suspend to disk. As far
as I can recall I did nothing special to get that working. But, my
memory being what it is... ;-)
Now, on "breezy", I do the same thing and it hangs when I try to
un-suspend it. The error message indicates that it trying to restore
highmem.
Is there anything I should lookout for. ACPI and not APM modules are
loaded and I have a PCMCIA Modem card as well as a PCMCIA wireless
card plugged in. I am running fluxbox instead of gnome.
Feel free to point me to some Ubuntu wiki page or demand a better
explanation of the problem (;
Sadly, ACPI is the one of the things I have never fully grokked.
Thanks and regards,
Ryan

Greetings once more!
This week the Community Council discussed IRC operators, new members,
new LoCoteams and the value of Launchpad contributions to membership.
* The #ubuntu operators team has grown once more to make the timezone
coverage a little better. This weeks Robert Stoffers and Sarah Hobbs.
accepted the responsibility and are representing Australia. The
council decided not to add ubuntu/member/* to the access list.
* Baishampayan Ghose introduced the Indian team - they do nice work for
Ubuntu and Debian in their homeland. Welcome Indian team!
* Hou ZhengPeng intruduced the Chinese ubuntu team - doing great work
for Ubuntu in china and for the CJK team. Welcome!
* Benjamin Hill brought the question: Do contributions to launchpad
count as contributions to Ubuntu. The answer is still unclear and
left as homework for the interested people.
New members:
* Achim Bohnet has been helping the MOTU and Kubuntu team. By routing
packages via Debian he also makes sure the Debian <-> Ubuntu delta
doesn't grow because of his actions - very laudable. Wecome aboard
Achim!
* Dana Olson has been doing great work on the audio side of Ubuntu
(ubuntu-studio for instance). He recently started packaging too and
he might just make Ubuntu rock in this area. Good work, welcome
aboard!
* Szilvester Farkas has been organizing the Hungarian LoCo team and is
active within the MOTU and wants to become a MOTU himself soon. Good
job Szilvester!
* Herman Bos is an early member of the Dutch LoCo team (around the
Warty release) and is contributing a lot to Edubuntu. He's terrible
at finding porn though ;) Welcome aboard Herman!
* Baishampayan Ghose not only presented the Indian team but himself
too. As active translator and new MOTU hopeful he was dragged onto
the Ubuntu ship, welcome!
* Paul O'Malley is supporting and promoting Ubuntu in Ireland and on
the Ubuntu IRC channels, most notably a project at a school where
eventually the kids found linux cool. Go Paul!
Replies to this mail should go only to the sounder list.
