Yeah, maybe. Though what if Grandpa Joe is chronically ill with waxing and waning debility. There are lots of folks in that boat. Maybe he was just having a very good week. One of the chief complaints I hear from friends that are so stricken is that when they are having an ok day, and are out doing something important or essential or even fun, they are seen by some dillweed that takes it as proof they are a lazy, shiftless malingerer.
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
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 …
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.
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.
