    8 answers



I am trying to install postgreSQL



I open terminal and type the 



gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list


then in Gedit I enter this line 



deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ zesty-pgdg main


The when I try to save the file red colored text appears saying:




Could not save the file “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list”.
you do not have the permission necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again




How do I solve this problem?

You need to modify this file as root. From the terminal, type



sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list


Then you can modify inside gedit and save it as you tried before



The sudo command means that you will run the command as root and it will ask you for your password

    Don't use GUI applications with sudo (without additional parameters) this will change some file's permissions in the user's home directory, that will cause errors in the future. Use: sudo -H, or sudo -i, or gksu (gksudo). The best approach is to learn to work with some terminal based editor as nano - sudo nano /path/to/file is correct. To recover from previous wrong usage: sudo chown $USER:USER $HOME.

pylint3 and pip3 broken

How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
