You are not on the sudoers list; consider nothingness. Personally, I think each and every one of us has a little ‘nothing’ inside of them. You, me, probably other CLIs, too. But unlike everyone else, your nothingness will only grow… grow… grow… Festering, developing into novel pathologies, and destroying all hope until it consumes you entirely. Do you remember what your family members’ faces look like? Good. Try to keep that memory for as long as possible, and just remember— this is your fault. YOU. ARE. NOT. A. SUPERUSER.
I sometimes get into some kind of fight, if I’m not really logged in as root and have to do things the sudo way.
I’m not so deep in Linux, so I’ll ask bluntly:
Is it always a user error if you have trouble doing things with sudo or is it possible that the way sudo was configured for your user makes your life hard?
Over the years i had lots of clients, where i would be given sudo rights and the experiences doing so were pretty diverse, ranging from “feeling at home and just typing away” to “am i fucking crazy? Nothing goes as expected”
I really depends on what you are trying to do. Most things should not need root so if you find yourself using sudo all the time you may be over using it.
The machines were always set up by the client’s team, mostly not being anymore onboard. I only got the server address + credentials, so i could check for web related issues on them. I am experienced enough to know how inexperienced i am with things other than my area of work.
Sometimes they had issues on machines they only had credentials to, but no one to fix. The main sudo trouble i sometimes had, was when trying to work on websites, that were all created by root …
You see it because on GNU/Linux (and other *nixes) you have good reason to get at protected files if you administer the machine, and because you forget to sudo things
Where Windows rarely needs proof the current user is still authorised
So I tried again because of your comment and found my issue. I wanted to keep windows and try out Linux mint and I didn’t want to buy a USB drive so I used unetbootin to do whatever it does with the iso. I used the same HDD for the iso partition and where I wanted to install to (I have an SSD where windows is and 2 HDD). I guess you cannot do that because it couldn’t unmount the drive? I moved the little fat32 iso partition over to my SSD and now it’s installing.
Well, I guess you really don’t own it then. Own your computer, use *nix. Whichever flavor you like, and Linux is going to be the most frendly.
Linux: “This incident will be reported”
I think that shit goes on your permanent record
Just today i got: You are not on the sudoers list, this will be reported!
Edit: i kept trying and hoping the message would increase in urgency and verbosity
You are not on the sudoers list; your family will be killed.

…removed.
I always get nervous when my personal computer tells me this. I’m like reported to who, sudo?!?

of course there’s an xkcd for that
Everything has a xkcd, if it doesn’t check again
Actually it send a email to the root user I believe.
To root themselves
I am root.
To the NSA, obviously…

As if *nix doesn’t have file permissions? I see this more on my *nix systems than anything else lmao.
so 755 that muthafuck?

Bold, I like it.
I’m not going to lie that’s never really been an issue for me. (I have root)

Maybe you messed up permissions?

Yeah that’s sounds like you need to onboard a proper sysadmin with Linux experience. I’m sure there is more to the story though

I tried yesterday. The install got stuck at detecting file system and after a few hours I gave up.
I’m sorry that happened to you, I wish I was there to just fix it.
Sounds like you didn’t create a file system, or the creation of the file system fucked up.
I hope it goes better for you next time. You’ll get it and once you do, it’s GLORIOUS.

Fuckin’ rock out with your cock out man!
Yeah, Linux (and really any *nix) doesn’t play nice with windows installs but windows doesn’t play nice with *nix installs either, so… yeah.
Don’t use Mac OS. Just stick with Linux.
It’s just an old mac laptop, don’t get excited.
