Problem with sudo: "user" is not in the sudoers file

If you cannot use "sudo" from a particular user then you will have to fix it in the "sudoers" file, /etc/sudoers,

You may have a line like : root ALL=(ALL)ALL
similarly, just add another line with the username from which you want to used "sudo" like: username ALL=(ALL)ALL

This line means that the user with the name username can execute from ALL terminals, acting as ALL (any) users, and run ALL (any) command.

SopCast in Kubuntu 8.10

Download the file gtk-sopcast 0.2.8 from

http://linuxtoy.org/archives/gtk_sopcast.html

Now to view the sopcast you will have to have a video player. I used mplayer and it works fine so try installing mplayer with the command

$ apt-get install mplayer

when you run gsopcast you might have to wait since it will populate the available channels...

have fun
