You can put your regular user in the sudoers file by elevating your privileges to root with " su - " ( the dash changes your $PATH variable to the root environment ). Then give the command " visudo " without any file name. This will open up the sudoers file in your preferred editor, which you can query with " echo $EDITOR " command. Make the changes you need, save and exit as root. I think this is the recommended way in the Debian manual.
Always edit the sudo config file with the visudo command (as people have been mentioning), which should be preinstalled. If you stuff up the config file you can have some bad effects happening, so this will open it in your default editor (the $EDITOR variable), and when you save it, it checks for syntax errors and other things. But great video!
I dunno, the first thing I usually do after installing Debian is start using it. I mean, once it's installed, it's generally ready to go, fully up to date. So you don't even need to update it after install. You could argue some things like enable nonfree repositories, install codecs and possibly nVidia drivers if you use one of their cards, etc., but I never really feel the need to do this stuff these days.
I agree totally with that. The FF-esr version default with Debian will not get the updates necessary in a timely fashion that will occur with the Flatpak version from the off.
@Ksk Royal Bro I installed debian in my laptop . I was installing some drivers and other softwares. At first the 3 fingers touch gestures was working in debain gnome . Then I installed nvidia drivers . After nvidia drivers installation the 3 fingers gestures does not work anymore . I want the 3 finger touch gesture in my debain os . Kindly help me .
You can also open settings and go to users then in your profile add your account to administrators with the click of a button. You will have to unlock the profile page in settings first, but that's it and very familiar to the command line method. Good vid btw.
Cant install my Epson L 350 printer on Debian. It doesnt support LSB. Debian detect it as L350 Series printer but wont print.😢 I think I'm going back to fedora. Any thoughts? Thank you .
Hi ksk! ive followed your tutorial and installed nvidia drivers. but using nvidia-smi returns "NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running." Is there something i am doing wrong?
@@kskroyaltech bro i read on stackoverflow to disable secure boot to fix the issue. i did so and now it is fixed!!. Any idea on why is behaves like this?
When attempting to install the Nvidia driver I get this error: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Do you or anyone here know what it is and how to fix it?
I got through the entire video and dont see anything new in applications or anywhere but searching deep in directories. What was done wrong and how do I get the applications to actually display? It says they are installed when I run them on the terminal, but there is ZERO visual evidence they exist in any other way than that. Im getting frustrated with Debian.
Installing ufw completely destroys my system. It deleted every essential package. After install, my restart button doesn't work so I use shell to reboot but when the system is up the display manager doesn't work. Now I'm locked outside the system... Is this a bug or did i do something wrong :(
Actually I give my user sudo access on Debian plasma by going to System Settings > Users > and there setting my user to Administrator......no need to use terminal
@@juanmanuelmillansanchez8165he didn't actually mispractice like u can say but the thing is if u mess up sudoers u can't basically use the pc that's it I think visudo helps u undo it like if there is a syntax error
Help! I use USA internacional keyborad + Brazilian Portuguese, and works very well, but I can' t ge c cedilha ou ~ correctly on Debian. Note. First time I installed, IT WORKED on Firefox, at least, correctly. Now even this isn't working. Any tip will be very welcome.
Check Keyboard Layout Settings: Go to your system settings and look for the option to configure keyboard layout. This might be under "Language" or "Region" settings depending on your desktop environment. Make sure "USA International" or "US International" (with the same keyboard layout) is selected for your keyboard. Verify that "Brazilian Portuguese" is chosen as the input method or language. Verify Locale Settings: Open a terminal and run the command locale. This will display your current locale settings. Look for the line that starts with LANG=. The value after the = sign should be something like pt_BR.UTF-8. This indicates Brazilian Portuguese with UTF-8 encoding, which is necessary for characters like ç. If the locale is incorrect, you can set it permanently using the raspi-config tool (for Raspberry Pi) or by editing the /etc/locale.conf file (for other Debian systems). Search online for instructions specific to your system on how to set the locale. Restart Applications: Sometimes applications might cache keyboard layouts. Try restarting your browser (Firefox) and any other applications where you're facing the issue. This might refresh the keyboard settings. Check for Conflicting Layouts: If you have multiple keyboard layouts installed, it's possible there's a conflict. Try removing any unused layouts from your system settings. Temporary Workaround: While you're troubleshooting, you can use temporary workarounds to get the ç and ~ characters: For ç, press AltGr (usually the right Alt key) + c. For ~, press AltGr + n.
Installing TLP disables Turbo Boost. Thats why better to choose Auto CPU Freq.. Based on the usage it will dynamically boost the performance by maintaining the battery efficiency ..
6:00 You've gotta' be f'ing kidding! That's "all": just install the following 413 tools to make a nifty system. I'm outa' here! (*) No mention of adding your login id to the 'sudoers' group. (*) No mention of adding an alternate userid as a fallback login (in case window manager's files get corrupted and you can't start plasma) (*) No mention of adding an augmented priviledge group (like 'wheel' or 'admin') for situations where no real priviledged commands are used, but lots of work requiring routine commands in sensitive areas (e.g., /etc, /root/bin, /var/lib, etc.) poses a risk of doing everything as root. (*) No mention of using volume manager to create a group of volumes for externally mountable file system components (e.g.: /usr/local, /opt, /srv [even /home is possible]). This cuts down on disk space waste because individuals volumes are quite easy to expand when the need arises. (*) No mention of setting up ssh, nfs, autofs, or samba! (*) No mention of setting up file system quotas. Even on single-developer systems, project quotas can be very valuable. (*) No mention of how to set up for multiple window managers (including text-only modes for maintenance) or multiple X servers .
Wtf about this got you so worked up to list off all this nitpicking BS? Bro made a decent 15 min video on basic shit to do which is helpful to most new users getting started. I don't get it.. it's free info take it or leave it. of course there is more he could mention it's Linux tutorials could go on for days make your own video or better yet go tf outside.
