I use Ubuntu 10.04. With sudo command I can execute root users commands.But why the following command:
Code:
sudo cd /root
returns error: "sudo: cd: command not found"?
Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0

So, I do not understand why the notification "sudo: cd: command not found", considering cd is a bash built-in command.
I have a guy in my office who was using an old version of ubuntu and he tried upgrading to 10 but now he's getting grub error 17. I Google this and everyone suggests reinstalling grub starting with opening a shell and typing 'sudo grub'.
However, I get 'command not found' in response to that. I've tried looking for the location of grub so I could try 'sudo /sbin/grub' and such, but I don't see it anywhere.
Also, I'm using a version 9.10 Live CD at the moment because I can't find out how to disable the drmraid option on the version 10 CD (necessary to detect the hard drives which, although they are on a raid controller are not configured as an array but separate drives).
I am looking for gcc installation in CentOS 5.4. I cannot use yum install since not connected to internet. I tried to do sudo apt-get install build-essential but received the following error: sudo: apt-get: command not found How to install gcc in my Linix machine?

I'm trying to install the projectM visualizer and I'm running into some problems. Initially, I tried to install it by running "sudo apt-get install libvisual-projectm", which seemed to work... except there's no launcher for it in my Applications menu and "projectM-pulseaudio" returns "command not found". From there, I decided to try to build it myself, by following this guide (<- link). It went well until the "make" command, which returns the following error:

I installed 10.04 (clean install) on a 250G drive (partitioned to 107G for the system files). It was working fine, until I wanted to install Window$ for the use of Adobe stuff. I popped the Windows XP disc in, it loaded its files, then I tried to choose a partition for installation. There was an error saying that I can't do that, and needed to delete a partition blah blah. I thought it was too much trouble, so I quit and just wanted to use my 10.04. Booted, and it says "Error booting operating system" I WAS SHOCKED.
I tried to install grub (but don't need that right? I DO NOT want to dual boot now), but the usual method ( the sudo grub; root (hd0.0)...) doesn't work ,because something like "stage1" is missing. I tried many methods by still the same error. The reason I do not want a clean install is that I did many fixes on my 10.04 so that it would work with my EeePC 1001pxd, and I do not want to go through that again. I will be checking my email frequently on other computers if I have a chance.

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 ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was trying to edit a file requiring root permissions, so I used sudo. I typed the root password and it failed. This happened three times, and the process was ended. I then logged in as root (su) and was able to navigate to the file and make changes as root. Am I missing something? How would I edit the sudoers file such that this password would work? Or is there another way to log in to the sudo group to make these changes? How do I set sudo passwords?

First I installed ubuntu on a separate hard drive and ran that as primary hard drive. Then I opened terminal and entered:
sudo fdisk -l
The errored hard drive was sdb1. I then entered:
sudo fsck /dev/sdb1
There were questions I answered yes to then, after swapping drives, I booted normally. Everything was normal except I have to choose a different version of ubuntu at startup. I haven't had any problems so far but this was just an hour ago.

I have a service on my Suse 11 server which runs an ssh command (using openSSH) on another box.The output below is returned, but legitimate output is also returned as if the command had executed successfully. For example, the service executes an ls command through ssh, gets the error below, but also the contents of the remote directory as output. This is a problem because the service retries the command until it receives no error. I have been unable to replicate this manually from the command line. Does anyone know what might cause this or what this error really means?
