Sometimes your package manager asks you for root password every minute while doing few hours long update and cancelling process of you don’t enter anything for few minutes, “yay” aur manager looking at you, and you got to do other things than sit and look in the monitor all day long, things like cleaning house or touching grass for example
sudo visudoAt the end:
Defaults:USER timestamp_timeout=30USER is obviously changed to your username.
Thank you
Man if only there was an option like --sudoloop to ensure that doesn’t happen
See, this is why I love xbps. Does everything in one blow, no bullshit.
If I remember correctly the default sudo timeout is set to 5 minutes on Yay, you should be able to increase it to something more reasonable
Thank you
Real pros shuffle across the carpet to build a static charge and do their system administration by electrical fault injection.
REAL pros use butterflies!
Dammit, emacs.
Still not as bad as
chmod -R 777.Once had a friend run
sudo chmod -R 777 /on a (public) Minecraft server we were running back in highschool. It made me die a bit on the inside.Doesn’t it break a lot of things? Half the stuff refuses to work when some specific files have too permissive chmod.
Really only SSH and sudo broke. sudo would still work but you’d have to re-enter your password every time. It was a painful experience and I’m glad I know better now.
Goodbye ssh access
Jesus, every time I have to run glx or vaapi under a container I end up having to do this then cringe.
from the chmod or from the containers?
You don’t need to
Nah, there’s something broken, I think it’s because group render under the container has a different GID than the container so the acl fails and you either sudo or chmod.
Lxc is still a little wobbly in places.
I use podman and since it runs as my user it has exactly same same permissions as me. I just add my user to the proper group and it works.
Anyway for LXC you could just passthough a folder and then create a file. From there you can look at the file on the host to see who owns it. That will give you the needed information to set permissions correctly
Ahh, I’m running priveleged containers, I wrote my own scripted framework for containers around lxc in mostly python.
Basically I fell head over heels in love with freebsd jails and wanted them on Linux, then started running x11 apps in them, it’s my heroin.
Haven’t used podman outside proper k8s for work, did proxmox for a bit, but it was just a webgui for the same thing.
There were a bunch of online bug reports about the /dev/dri issue, maybe there’s a better solution now, but since this is my workstation I wasn’t as worried about security.
As a one time noob I may have done this once or more.
To get one thing working I borked everything.
Understanding permissions is pretty basic. But understanding permission requirements for system and user apps and their config and dirs can be a bit overwhelming at first.
Thinking a little change to make your life simpler will break something else doesn’t always register immediately.
Shit, even recently, wondering why my SSH keys were being refused and realising that somehow i set my private keys world readable.
Thank god SSH checks file and dir permission.
sudo visudo -s vi &Yeah. After that everything can be done with
!sh.sudoedit is what you’re looking for. Don’t elevate the text editor.

All five of them.

There are a few of us, but our 2nd gen i3s will eat the shit out of your 5th gen i5s 😁.

sudo -sfor auditabilitysudo -i ?
sudo chmod +x * can solve it sometimes
Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks
Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn’t collapse before we replaced it.
A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin
That’s at least once a week

Not even arrow keys
just worked a job where I did not have privlages to sudo commands. except su. had to sudo su so I could run a script.
Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction
Possibly but my role was such Im really only supposed to be working on my project and not monkey with the server which is used by other projects. I don’t think it was a restriction I think it was just laziness by whoever set it up.
Fair enough. Got a colleague who sudo nanos everything then wonders why he keeps getting permission denied errors later lol
…file in
~/.config…-
sudo nano /path/to/file… yeah, I wanna fucking save changes… OK, let’s see if it works… damn it, this distro fucking sucks man!Worst part is he’s the sysadmin
Jesus 🤦…
And this is why I never get bonuses. I just can’t be bothered with kissing upper management ass… tried it once… I walked out of the meeting with me telling them “less talking, more doing”… no one from upper management called me ever again. Even if they did have a computer problem, they just told the secretary to call me.
Oh god no not upper management lol we’re just in a small company
Reminds me of software saying to put your docker socket into the docker container you are starting for convenience.
Oh yeah, I’m docking the shit ot of that container!
