| aperson | Hello. How do I allow my main user to use sudo. There is no sudoers file anywhere and sudo is installed ? | 07:53 |
|---|---|---|
| bradd | aperson: I think you add the user to the 'sudo' group | 07:54 |
| ErRandir | there's a visudo command available for that. See man sudoers and man visudo | 08:48 |
| Kingsy | sorry, can someone remind me why zzz isnt included in devuan? Also when I close my laptop lid and the machine sleeps. if I open it again I don't get my X back. it just shows me a black screen, all I can do is just turn it off hard. When I do that I can see devuan shutting down as it flips back to the TTY, so the OS WAS active I just couldnt use it. how can I fix this too? | 09:01 |
| jyri | have you tried Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F7/8? | 11:57 |
| jyri | I had the same problem ages ago (before systemd...) so I don't remember any more how I fixed it :( | 12:02 |
| aperson | Doesn't that just switch to a different instance/run level ? My issue is that within the main X and in a terminal, I cannot use sudo for anything without logging in using su. Is that by design in devuan ? | 12:15 |
| djph | aperson: did you add your user to the 'sudo' group? | 12:21 |
| aperson | I thought i did, but then when I tried sudo, it still did not work. Groups username , shows sudo listed | 12:25 |
| rrq | sudo needs /etc/sudoers to know who's allowed what | 12:27 |
| aperson | So sudo works using my user password, I was just able to chmod, but not with root password | 12:28 |
| djph | rrq: oh, yeah that too | 12:29 |
| djph | aperson: yes, you also need to configure /etc/sudoers, as rrq mentioned. As I recall (as root) 'visudo' | 12:29 |
| aperson | In /etc/ I only see sudoers.d and in that only a readme | 12:30 |
| aperson | Nvm | 12:32 |
| aperson | I'm in the sudoers | 12:32 |
| aperson | In nano | 12:32 |
| aperson | Now imnin visudo | 12:33 |
| aperson | Got it, thanks for the help folks. | 12:43 |
| gour | hello, tried opensuse (tumbleweed) for some time since it was my first distro back in 1999, but will go back to debian-based distro. for me there are actually only two options: debian or devuan and since I have to run few containerized apps (viber, zoom,..) i wonder what can i expect with flatpak/appimage under devuan? | 14:11 |
| gour | otherwise, i use xfce, few cli apps, ff...nothing fancy... | 14:11 |
| gour | i'd also like to try runit and wonder if there is work in improving its support on devuan? | 14:12 |
| fsmithred | gour, I know appimage works in devuan, and I'm pretty sure flatpak works. If you search the forum, you can find discussions about both. | 14:28 |
| fsmithred | there is ongoing work on runit. Again, search forum for discussions. The runit maintainer sometimes posts there because we have several people using it and reporting their experiences. | 14:29 |
| fsmithred | If you want to play with runit without installing anything, here's a live-iso I made. https://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/refracta_11_runit_test_amd64-20211121_0007.iso | 14:30 |
| gour | last time i tried, i had problem with viber - always restarting its setup procedure and could not configure default sound device...i believe the latter should be solvable and maybe containerized can provide better experience | 14:30 |
| fsmithred | I have no experience with that stuff beyond once installing the Musescore appimage to check it out. | 14:31 |
| gour | fsmithred: i'll install devuan on my spare machine - old netbook and try to resolve those issues and not inastalling on main machine and then re-installing another distro odue to frustration 😄 | 14:32 |
| fsmithred | sounds like a plan. | 14:32 |
| * gour is preparing stick with the image | 15:12 | |
