Ubuntu :: Install A Dictionary With The Command Sudo Apt-get Install Dict-xdict
Mar 28, 2010I am a rookie. Yesterday, I intended to install a dictionary with the command sudo apt-get install dict-xdict, but it turned out to fail with the error. Then, I quited with Ctrl+ c, and I did not care much till today because when I want install something else today, the error keeps coming out. Therefore, I think I would better remove dict-xdict first, so I use sudo apt-get remove dict-xdict, but the error still appears:

I have already tries sudo apt-get -f install dict-xdict and it doesn't work out. I am hoping to install some other applications now, but I have not idea what I could do to fix this problem or just circumvent it

Fedora Security :: Cannot Open /var/db/sudo After Sudo Package Upgrade?
Sep 16, 2010A 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Does 10.04 LTS Use P2P In Synaptics Or Apt-get Or Another Process
Jun 16, 2010I think I used the command apt-get and synaptics to install some programming library which are
{ autotools-dev, build-essential, cmake, cpp, libboost-thread1.35.0,libboost-thread1.35.0, libboost-thread1.35-dev, libboost-signals1.35.0, libboost-signals1.35-dev,libcv1, libcv-dev, libgdk-pixbuf2, libgdk-pixbuf-dev, libgnomecanvas2-0, libgnomecanvas2-dev, libgsl0, libgsl0-dev, libjpeg62-dev,libtool, libxmu-dev,swig,freeglut3 (for stage), freeglut3-dev (for stage), libfltk1.1 (for stage), libfltk1.1-dev (for stage), libgtk2.0-dev (for stage), libltdl7 (for stage), libltdl7-dev (for stage),libpng12-0 (for stage), libpng12-0-dev (for stage)}
and I didn't use anything else and didn't install any P2P client in Ubuntu. And then a few day later, my laboratory received the message that someone in our laboratory used P2P with prohibited in the university. The people in my laboratory pointed to me because they're all using windows only me using Ubuntu. So I would like to ask "Is it possible that Ubuntu using P2P in its background? or apt-get or synaptics using P2P in their process?" If Ubuntu can't do that, I can prove myself. But If Ubuntu does, I still can show to them that it's Ubuntu's program and it's legal.

Aug 12, 2010I am wondering what the easiest way for me to disable su and perform all root stuff using sudo, the way Ubuntu works. I am using a shared system, openSUSE 11.3, and notice that the only item that gets logged in su is who su'd. I need more information and sudo + command gets logged to /var/log/messages so I can see who did what and when. How can I get openSUSE 11.3 to work similiar to Ubuntu when it comes to running elevated commands or editing files that a normal user doesn't have rights to?

I ran $ sudo aptitude install usplash

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
I have seen this error before. I just ran the command
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
And it returned this:

I did an:
$ aptitude search initramfs-tools
and I noticed that it had a "C" next to it. I think this has something to do with the package not being configured correctly or at all. Also looks like it is trying to generate an initd, but missing something. That kernel name looks kinda funky, though...

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Install Package - Permissions Error While Using Sudo
Mar 17, 2010tl;dr - sudo make -> operation not permitted, sudo chown -R 777
* -> operation not permitted on some of the files
I am trying to install a library. Sudo make is getting permission denied on file 1, while using regular make I am getting permission denied on file 2. I have noticed some of the directories in the library are under nobody:nogroup. I tried chown and sudo chown, both didn't work. Sudo chown got permission errors, while chown didn't change ALL the files. (operation not permitted once again) Tried sudo su, and working from there, that also did not work. (permission once again). Using lsattr returned "lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on".
Code:
sudo chmod -R 777 *

Ubuntu :: Bash Sudo Scripts Fail To Work After Install Of 10.04
Aug 4, 2010I had some bash scripts on Ubuntu 09.10 (mint version) that fail to work on Ubuntu 10.04. The line that fails is the following:
Code: # cat file_with_my-password.txt > sudo -S something cat: invalid option -- 'S' Try `cat --help' for more information. In my case "something" mounts some filesystems (that fail to load from fstab - bios "fake" raid 10), but I get the same error for any sudo command. It is the same script that used to work under 09.04 :-/
