Debian :: Checkinstall" Seems To Be Not Installed "sudo Apt-get Make" Does Not Workcheckinstall" Seems To Be Not Installed "sudo Apt-get Make" Does Not Work
Feb 12, 2011
So installing a programm is a problem. I like to install Aqualung. "/.configure" works. But "make" seems to be not installed. "checkinstall" seems to be not installed "sudo apt-get make" does not work. I have no internet connection with linux, because I have no idea how I install the network card. I guess this sudo command use internet? Is there another way to compile that program? (And just by the way, why must this be so difficult?

I have read a lot of questions from people wanting to take Debian (or some other distribution) and make its sudo command act more like the way Ubuntu's sudo does. I want to do the exact opposite, I want to make Ubuntu's sudo command act more like the sudo command from another distribution. ie I want there to be one root password

I've setup the .ssh/authorized_keys and am able to login with the new "user" using the pub/private key ... I have also added "user" to the sudoers list ... the problem I have now is when I try to execute a sudo command, something simple like:
$ sudo cd /root
it will prompt me for my password, which I enter, but it doesn't work (I am using the private key password I set)Also, ive disabled the users password using
$ passwd -l user
I am trying to harden my system ... the ultimate goal is to use pub/private keys to do logins versus simple password authentication. I've figured out how to set all that up via the authorized_keys file.Additionally I will ultimately prevent server logins through the root account. But before I do that I need sudo to work for a second user (the user which I will be login into the system with all the time).
For this second user I want to prevent regular password logins and force only pub/private key logins, if I don't lock the user via" passwd -l user ... then if i dont use a key, i can still get into the server with a regular password.But more importantly I need to get sudo to work with a pub/private key setup with a user whos had his/her password disabled.
1) I've adjusted /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set PasswordAuthentication no This will prevent ssh password logins (be sure to have a working public/private key setup prior to doing this
2) I've adjusted the sudoers list visudo and added
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
dimas ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
3) root is the only user account that will have a password, I am testing with two user accounts "dimas" and "sherry" which do not have a password set (passwords are blank, passwd -d user)
The above essentially prevents everyone from logging into the system with passwords (a public/private key must be setup). Additionally users in the sudoers list have admin abilities. They can also su to different accounts. So basically "dimas" can sudo su sherry, however "dimas can NOT do su sherry. Similarly any user NOT in the sudoers list can NOT do su user or sudo su user.

What are the differences if I build (./configure, make, make install) an app when log in as root vs a "regular" user other than I have to use sudo for make install? If an app is built from a non-root account, will it be available to every other user on the system?

Accidentally I changed the ownership of all the directories under / to my own instead of root:root. Now I am unable to use sudo and many bad things are happening. Is there a way to revert the changes or change the permissions again to root:root or make sudo work ?

I just installed Debian 8 into a virtual machine, and in the software selection panel I checked "Debian desktop ..." (default) and "gnome". However, after boot the system did not seem familiar. In particular, I did not find any directories that include "gnome" in their name. Question: how to make the system use gnome?

When I run sudo as a normal unprivileged user, it asks for my password, not the root password. That's often convenient, but it reduces the amount of information someone would have to have in order to run commands as root. So how can I make sudo ask for the root password instead of the invoking user's password? I know it'd be done with a line in /etc/sudoers, but I can never seem to properly parse the BNF grammar in the man page to figure out exactly what to write.

On my HTPC/Server unbuntu box I have installed logwatch in order to get a daily look on my computer activity.
And I often have this line in the report :
Quote:
root => my_user
-------------
/usr/bin/gconftool - 3 Times.
The corresponding line in auth.log are :
Quote:

My first post. I've been using Ubuntu Server edition (Hardy) happily for some time now.
I use sudo regularly during configuration of new services. It always works/authorises within seconds, however, it recently became very slow, to the point of being nearly unusable.
In /var/log/auth.log I noticed a regular working pattern like this code...

I recently installed a few packages from source using checkinstall (notably x264). Today, when my normal synaptic/apt-get upgrade ran, it wanted to to overwrite the (newer) version I installed with the (older) version in the repos.Is there any way to have synaptic/apt ignore packages installed via checkinstall so that they aren't overwritten?

I ran into this bug: [URL]...I checked that overwrite-local was set to 1. So I want to delete all python packages that were installed by checkinstall with the /usr prefix.
Now it has been some time since I did this and I dont really remember. Does anyone using checkinstall know how to spot packages installed via checkinstall? I already checked the FAQ and doc of checkinstall, but no info on this.

But when I used:
rpm -e xxx
to uninstall the pack didn't report error.But not uninstall.
In my make file that checkinstall used is like this:
install: FORCE

When I use sudo, command does not auto-complete with 'tab'. Perhaps its some sort of security measure? I'd like to turn it off, because its just annoying. Older versions of debian didn't have such problem. Using debian_testing_amd64.

I am trying, using checkinstall to make eboard to enable use of this program with a DGT electronic chessboard (option not available in the program included in the repositories) according to the instructions given here. After the preliminaries, namely downloading and extracting the source from: [URL]-1.1.1.tar.bz2./configure runs fine but (after su-ing to root), both make install & checkinstall fail after numerous warnings about "deprecated conversion" like:
Code:
board.cc:55: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
board.cc:157: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

explain the difference between these two commands. I'm currently reading about changing your mac address and both of these commands show up a lot. They sound like the same thing to me. Is one better than the other, or do you need to use both to change your mac address?
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop

A day ago I finally got around to upgrading the PackageKit installation that had been sitting for a week and a half, so I found a new upgrade for sudo available - the one that gives the sudoreplay command, I forget which version number it is exactly. When I try to use the sudo command I get this notice in my terminal:Code:Can't open /var/db/sudo/me/1: Permission deniedI didn't get it before. What do I have to do to make it open? I'm using SELinux in enforcing mode if that helps.

I installed an Oracle-provided RPM that installs a library, let's call it libUSEME1.0, into /usr/lib/oracle/yada/yada2/libUSEME.1.0. I then have an RPM (perl-DBD-Oracle) that depends on libraries from the Oracle-provided RPM. (For now, let's say it depends on libUSEME.1.0)
I then try to do both a 'rpm -ivh' and a 'yum localinstall', on that perl-DBD-Oracle RPM. However, yum still complains that this dependency is missing. The only semi-useful post I could find from Google shows that setting things like LD_PRELOAD won't change yum's mind - it still says the dependency is missing.
What is the proper way to demonstrate to yum that you have already installed a library on which an rpm (or package) depends?
