me when I accidentally use the tree command on the root directory:
How I felt after adding encryption to my Immich server
I’m so old we used to call it BackTrack and we burned it to CDs 😭
Was backtrack before or after whoppix?
After.
Whoppix was the first iteration followed by whax and then backtrack.
It went from Backtrack to Kali. I’ve never heard of whoppix tho.
Did you set the font color as green or amber? It won’t work otherwise!
Funny enough, I learned terminal commands initially on a green on black monitor. I can’t use the terminal unless I set it to green on black. My brain literally won’t remember any terminal commands for any flavor of Linux until I change the color scheme.
Wifi is not working help :((((
Heh, I remember tinkering with linux waaay back in the day. I had a shitty Slackware install I farted around with, and something I was doing required bootstrapping gcc. I clung to that man page like it was the last lifeboat off the Titanic, but by the end when it worked I felt exactly like this.
In Uni I ran Gentoo as my daily driver. It was stupid, but I learned a lot.
Trying and failing to get a working desktop environment, using IRC on the command line to get help from people who knew what they were doing and could advise a dumb kid like me, following their advice and getting a working DE after a reboot was the most hackerman I ever felt. I was convinced I was real hot shit. In actuality, I’d followed the advice to tweak the kernel config to get working drivers :))
Haha, yep. My very first linux install I had to do similar because I had a fucky video card that X11 didn’t support natively, ultimately I had to, er, acquire a commercial X server that did support it to make it work. It was a mess.
Um… shouldn’t it be:
sudo su; apt-get update; flatpak update;Or am I missing something?
You should never use “sudo su”. That’s a big security no-no.
~$ sudo apt update
[sudo] password for {your user name}:
-command executes-
~$
Use sudo -i instead, gives you an interactive shell without running the su binary with sudo, which is unnecessary
Edit: it’s i not I
Thank you, that’s a switch I hadn’t looked at. I’ll admit though, I’m on Mint, I have a nice built-in GUI that works nicely.
It’s a really important switch for doing things like setting up wireguard, which has protected directories, you can’t actually enter the directory for wireguard setup without
sudo -i(I mean technically you probably can with
sudo su, too, but this is more elegant and less redundant)My phones keyboard decided to capitalize, it’s -i
Thanks, we suffered the same fate.
Sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get (-y if you want it to do it automatically) upgrade
What’s the problem exactly? There are many ways to do it, and I think saying you run
apt-get updateis quite fine even if you’re not explicitly saying that you run it as root. And he may not have flatpaks.There’s also
sudo apt updateif you only want to apply the superuser permission one specific command instead of a lot of commands
the kkk has their own linux version?
