I’ve git cloned the project. i cant run ./installfog.sh I keep getting messages saying i need to use “sudo i” or “su -”. so i do. and get the same message. i’ve tried each command separately, then together (starting with both sudo and su). nothing works. just the same message over and over.
Edit: in case anyone ends up here in the future, let me save you some time. the responses below solve nothing. im told i dont know how to use sudo, or su. i logged in directly as root to demonstrate that sudo and su were not the issues, then i was told “Eeewww”. i was then told that because the program is 6 years old it “wont work” (yet linux fames its self for supporting everthing back to the 386 still).
not worth reading. i wish you luck in your search.
I appreciate you trying to help. my issue and point is, like i said,
I keep getting messages saying i need to use “sudo i” or “su -”. so i do. and get the same message. i’ve tried each command separately, then together (starting with both sudo and su). nothing works. just the same message over and over.
The error im getting is as follows:
Please switch to a proper root environment to run the installer! Use 'sudo -i' or 'su -' (skip the ' and note the hyphen at the end of the su command as it is important to load root's environment)."
Can you post the complete output of the script from the start until it stalls, please?
“Please switch to a proper root environment to run the installer! Use ‘sudo -i’ or ‘su -’ (skip the ’ and note the hyphen at the end of the su command as it is important to load root’s environment).”
Edit: this is not a user error. we can stop testing for EBKAC now.
i went back to the login screen, LOGGED IN AS ROOT, and ran this. Same issue.
if someone could point me to the CODE issue, or what i need to do to be compatible with the code on a fresh endeavor OS KDE plasma install, from a fresk online install, that has had yay and pacman syu run, i’d appreciate it.
