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.
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.
Um… shouldn’t it be:
sudo su; apt-get update; flatpak update;Or am I missing something?
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.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
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?
