Whoops: Sudo doesn’t like me as it’s owner
Many won’t know what I’m talking about, but the odd person might so…
Running “sudo chown -hR matt /” in an Ubuntu install, is not so good for the system.
It’s actually a pretty effective way or borking it up good and proper.
I honestly meant to put something after the /, but my morning fingers just wouldn’t have it.
I used to have a rule that working on my system before 8am was a big no no…I may have to reinstate that rule.
Fortunately enough It was a new install on my desktop, and it wasn’t much more than the base install…
Anyhow…now I have to wait to get home and fix it…because I managed to do all that damage remotely…

On your desktop? Replacing Windows?

Not a complete replacement.
Dual boot, but I am going to try it for a while as I have not been gaming much, which is one of the main reasons now that I use windows.
I also wanted to throw a bit more muscle at it than what I have on my laptop at the moment to see what more it can do.
I made a 50 gig partition for it so I can give it a good run.
The desktop effects and such are pretty cool. I think I will try to run with just Ubuntu at least until we move because I likely won’t have time to do serious gaming before that time anyhow…
