Re: [SOLVED] After Update - can not edit "rc.conf" through OpenBox-Menu

SOLVED

1. gpasswd -a MYNAME wheel

2. uncomment in /etc/sudoers:

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

3. remove "ck-launch-session "

nano ~/.xinitrc

exec dbus-launch openbox-session

Re: [SOLVED] After Update - can not edit "rc.conf" through OpenBox-Menu

[Solved]
i have same problem , i did . gpasswd -a cirrus wheel  (cirrus added to group) ,then i uncommented both entries in /etc/sudoers , and checking xinitrc for  "ck-launch-session "  tho i came up empty it was not in there , after editing the sudoers and rebooting i could only boot to CLI  however an fsck got me back in X , yet im still unable to edit rc.conf through openbox menu, should i just recomment both entries and just edit rc.conf via nano,fileman ??
regards
cirrus

You should have user created and set up during install if you have added a new user since then yes you need to add groups..

check .xinitrc notice the '.' in front of file [means hidden] post what you find

Re: [SOLVED] After Update - can not edit "rc.conf" through OpenBox-Menu

with nano ,export VISUAL=nano; visudo , and it seems the changes have stuck too.
heres an excerpt

#
## Runas alias specification
##

##
## User privilege specification
##
root ALL=(ALL) ALL

## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

## Same thing without a password
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

(edit)  i just resorted to editing the obmenu all good)
