| Dec 28, 2016 at 20:02 | comment | added | Ismael Miguel | @progo Probably you are using a FreeBSD-based distribution. Debian isn't based in FreeBSD, which may explain the difference. | |
| Dec 28, 2016 at 17:35 | comment | added | mike3996 | @ivanivan: maybe wheel is a special case but usually a group gets activated right once I do a new login in my gentoo box. | |
| Dec 28, 2016 at 15:23 | comment | added | ivanivan | @progo - no, all login sessions must end first | |
| Dec 28, 2016 at 13:58 | comment | added | Paul Evans | @Carl Because if you do that, one day you'll not log out of the root account. You'll be thinking of some other things. You'll use the root account thinking it's one of your logins. And you'll break something. That's the whole point of sudo. | |
| Dec 28, 2016 at 13:45 | comment | added | mike3996 | @ivanivan: it is enough to launch a new login shell to get the changes in effect (just for that session though). | |
| Dec 28, 2016 at 3:20 | comment | added | Carl | If you can log in as root, why not just install the firmware as root? Forget sudo. | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 18:32 | comment | added | ivanivan | adduser yourusername sudo - note that group membership really doesn't change until you completely log out of all sessions/logins | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 18:24 | comment | added | DopeGhoti | The sudo group serves the same purpose. | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 18:02 | comment | added | M.O. | googled info and it appears there is no wheel group created, but in visudo there is some piece of code really similar to what the wheel one would look like # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL . Do I need to create a wheel group? How do I add my user name to the sudo group? | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 17:48 | comment | added | M.O. | could you be more specific on how to write that on terminal please? | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 17:44 | comment | added | DopeGhoti | Become root again, and add yourself to the wheel group. Also use visudo to make sure that the configuration to allow anyone in the wheel group to use sudo is not commented out. | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 17:43 | comment | added | M.O. | cant edit but the sudo is part of the first code obviously | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 17:41 | comment | added | M.O. | When making sudo mkdir rtlwifi it returns mariel is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | |
