Friend: OMG are you hacking ?

[sudo apt-get update] running

Me: Yes. I am.

*food comes in at work today*
Fellow engineer: yum yum yum!
Me: apt apt apt!
All engineers: 😑

My partner has zero interest in coding and wants to have a baby, a week ago she started to yell install baby at me. Told her its not the right command. A few days ago she yelled apt-get install baby. Told her there was a user privilege problem. Today she came back with sudo apt-get install baby.

looks like we are going to have to have a baby!

Soo apt.

I wish my mind had its own terminal.
Just imagine...

sudo apt-get install English

Student next to me tried to be cool and opened a terminal window and said to me: "I'm hacking someone." He was just running "apt-get update" ...

For the past 14 days? Huh.
Everyone on vacation or something?

It's quiet.
It's a little.... tooo ... quiet.

When all project dependencies can be installed using apt-get...

*Beautiful girls passes by*

Me: *Quick! Do something awesome*

sudo apt-get update

Apt for today's times

Person: "Shall I put PHP inside HTML or HTML inside PHP?"

I managed to recycle a joke. Here is me using fedora:

:~$ sudo apt-get install vim

Who is apt-get?

:~$ oops sorry, I meant dnf

Who's apt-get?

:~$ sudo dnf install vim

Maybe you should ask apt-get to install it

sudo apt-get life

Fuck these movie people:
You run "sudo apt-get update.." and you say we've got the signal. Your f*cking signal! Am sure someone even typed the password for you. I update my system every 5 minutes I have got no signal. F*ck you again. I'm not watching the movie again. P*ssing me off.

LoL ;-)

Some people in my class who have been learning java for over 2 years now and ask me what the difference is between a class and a method.

sudo apt-get install suicide

Does anyone else find apt-get upgrading strangely comforting?

When you're a junior sysadmin but still have to maintain ALL the production server:

How it looks:

$ sudo apt-get update

How it feels:

& sudo [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo *Click*

Apt is savage: "Signature by key 33BDD78F1D3956B52D014458F603F0D99C2EC4C39D uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1), SHA1 is weak, it's bloodline is weak, and it will not survive the winter."

Story time!

So me, alcoholic I am, went to a local cafe because I didn't have enough booze anymore at home. Turns out that there were quite some people that wanted to get to know me!

And most importantly, there was another sysadmin (that likely saw through my funsies with some people there that I displayed termux' apt update and apt upgrade to as "evil hacking" 😜) that actually wasn't a bluff - he pretty much interviewed me on the spot and was apparently pretty impressed by my skillset. And so am I by his - he asked some pretty techy questions that only a fellow technologist could come up with. In a local cafe of all places!!! Who would've thought?!

I'll probably be going to that cafe some more 😋

I wish installing updates in Windows 10 was as easy as:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Telling people I don't need GIT and prefer to do things via FTP for years. That is till today when I accidentally deleted everything.

sudo apt-get install git

Created an alias in BASH

alias fucking=sudo

Just so I can run "fucking apt-get update". Got so used to it I accidentally used it during a presentation. Now the cute interns think I'm awesome while the other devs think I'm an ass.

Deadly loop...

PLEASE, stop using apt-get. It's depreciated. Use apt instead.

Thank you.

Apt-get install *

Just don't do it. It's not worth it!

When my friend trolled me just because I was a noob with Linux command line...

To fix your problem you must run:
sudo apt-get purge sudo

And then I tried reinstalling sudo with....
sudo apt-get install sudo 😲

Guys try installing Termux. Its Linux for Android. It comes with its own version of Apt package manager. Using this opens up alot of possibilities ;)

Our AWS Consultant: Do you have the AWS CLI installed?

sudo apt-get father

Me trying to install a software :

1. Download the binary file
2. Error this file can't be executed
3. Download the source code
4. Compile
5. Error - instruction not supported by this OS
6. Create a new disk partition
7. Download ubuntu

9. Apt-get install
10. Error - package not readable by this version of ubuntu
11. Kill myself

Old. But apt.

Working on adjusting a shell script to my needs.

The fucker quits execution after an apt update command is ran.

No reason, it just fucking quits. No error messages or whatever, nothing.

This script can go suck a cock.

Tried to modify a script again which pretty much installs a ready to use vpn server on a server.

Tried to modify it so that it takes arguments instead of manual input.

It is, fucking, yet again, quitting right after an apt install command.

Error exit code? Oh no, a perfectly fine fucking 0. Which means it ran successfully.

Successfully my fucking ass. You aren't even through half the motherfucking script!?

Fucking hell. Fuck my life sideways.

E: Invalid operation lifehacker.

So today I learned i can pay my property taxes online. The way you pay is:

1. Enter address (street #, I live in an apt)
2. It will show all matches **including the owners full name**
3. If you click view, it shows the full account history...

The award of fastest internet on earth goes to me :D

*note:
its just Ubuntu was not able to update date/time settings during setup cuz I had wifi turned off, turned it back on and ran apt-get update, must have started before the system was able to update its date/time settings, so ya I did not photshop :)

So I tried to apt-get purge 14 packages and 496 got removed. Now I'm sitting here with a lot of broken shit trying to get my web up and running again .

The perfect time to return to devRant

Today at college our professor was dictating Debain update command - "sudo apt-get update"

Person next to me complained it didn't work for him. Peeped into his screen to see - "pseudo apt-get update"

My friends with non tech background thinks that I am hacking into NSA or something but they don't know I am just downloading the package lists by running sudo apt-get update. 😂

Was going to install python 3.5. Typed "apt-get install python 3.5" instead of "apt-get install python3.5".
Parsed 3.5 as regex, now it's installing 500mb of shit :/

alias apt-get=“sudo apt-get”

What do you mean "apt-git: command not found"!? Oh wait...

...Time to take a break

A SQL query goes into a bar, walks up to two tables and asks, "Can I join you?"

Such a classic joke. Apt for a Friday! :D

Really!!! Which one seems more apt...!!!

To whom it may concern,

When I say I use Linux, please do not presume that I mean Ubuntu or other Debian derivates. If you send me instructions like 'apt-get update' you are not being helpful.

Thank you.

PSA: "sudo apt-get remove nginx" doesn't actually remove nginx. It will still continue to run and block port 80 on every reboot.

Until you run sudo apt-get autoremove, nginx-core and others still remain.

And that's how twenty seconds of scheduled downtime turns into 10 minutes.

Now FUCKING INSTALL THAT PACKAGE!!!

What I imagine when I run
"sudo apt install texlive-full"

Apt autoremove deemed my desktop gui unnecessary. Guess i'll type then.

You know it's 2016 when you have to download a package manager to download a package manager to... :S

There are a shitload of them.

Me: sudo apt-get update

PC: Noope. There is a problem with a package.

Me: Ugh... ok I'll fix it. *20 minutes later* Fixed. Sudo apt-get update

PC: Noope, the package cache file is corrupted.

Me: GO FUCK YOURSELF LINUX OMFG.
Oh, I fixed it.
I LOVE YOU LINUX.

Fellow programmer: "You know the get part is not required in apt-get now, right?"

Man how do you skinny devs keep so skinny? I'm not even eating fat things and I'm nearing to light obesity... Is there a patch that I missed? apt update says it's up to date?

Jenkins doesn't care about maths

apt-get install ffmpeg

I used to love apt because all I knew was windows.

Now I hate apt because I know pacman/yaourt.

It's funny how perspective does that.

"heh, I'm gonna instal this package".
Installs in 10 seconds.

"wow, this status bar looks cool..."
Installs in a split second.

"just one apt install before going to this really important seminar."

It takes almost half an hour to download and another half to install.

Aptitude fucking reads your thoughts...

Hate how every time I have an ubuntu box meet inode limits is always due to Linux Headers... Boss wanted me to add more storage to his box because he was at capacity..

apt-get autoremove

Drive went from 100% usage to 39%..

Debian 9.3's gpg issue is driving me crazy! I can't install anything outside of the default apt repos no matter what I try.

No matter what, apt always does the exact same thing. It adds the repo; then finds, imports, and processes the key; and finally fails with "gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found."

I've spent hours looking this up and trying to fix it.

Just. ARGH!
☹

HOW!? Just HOW THE FUUUCK??!

Did anybody ever try to put a cinnamon desktop onto a ubuntu server version?? 'Cause this is simply fucked up!

Just add the ppa they said. Just run

Why only with Debian and not with literally any other flavor of Linux I've tried, which are all Debian variants?
Halp?

I was part of a on-call rotation. We had ~800 microsites with decent traffic on this one box, because that's a good idea...

One day the box was experiencing kernel panics and causing core dumps. After exhausting every possiblity I decided it was time to restart the box:

sudo shutdown now

Missed the -r and the box was not accessible remotely. Had to wait for someone at the data center to terminal in.

Downtime was ~2 hours.

This was caused by a crontab that automatically ran apt-get update & apt-get upgrade... Also made by me... None of this should have worked or allowed to be done!

Switched from Mint to Arch 'cause 'pacman' is easier to type than 'apt-get'

The year is 2019.

C++ is still one of the most powerful programming languages around..............with no centralized package manager that is widely adopted by the community that allows one to sandbox libraries from conflicts with one another.

I ain't hating, just find this funny and I love cpp

Apt get/git submodules it is!!

sudo apt-get remove windows

Rant:
Why in the freezing cold all people think that linux = secure. Ransomware... Bla bla not happening on linux bla bla... Linux is secure.

If Linux would have been the most popular one people will pretty much run everything on root and install every stupid package available and never run: apt-get update.

Users were so dumb they got scammed by a phising mail... In freaking 2017... This is user stupidity not OS fault...

God its stupidly annoying seeing the same stuff : Linux secure...
Everything can be secure if you paid attention to the same stuff in freaking 2000.

I'm taking an entrepreneurship course and there is this one guy who talks empty words just to impress others.

He uses linux and at every single course he opens the terminal just to run the commands "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt remove", the rest of the time he is on discord.

He always switches to the terminal so you can see what an 'expert' he is

OSX: `brew install package`
Linux: `apt-get install package`

sudo apt-get update year

Appy new year guys.

I know I've been away but I will be back when I get better.

I love the feeling of running `sudo apt autoremove` and getting rid of like 500 MB of useless packages.

Our new hired (promoted intern) just installed Ubuntu on his new machine.
Now we are the only ones using Linux at work.

He was having trouble with a flickering bug on kernel 4.4.0 and I just told him to apt upgrade that it would solve it..
And he was like: oh.. Can you update the kernel?

That's gonna be a long month...hope he learns this faster than git

That moment when you execute "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y" just because you need time to think about how to solve the real problem.

sude apt-get tea

Sudo apt-get remove --purge hurricane-irma

I don't think so

Installed phpmyadmin from apt.

It has 2 errors in the source php files.

What?

First thing i do in morning is..

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Life with ubuntu is easy!

1. firing up the terminal
2. enter sudo apt-get install openvpn easy-rsa
3. realizing I'm on my windows machine

Might have hit some random edge case of apt

Sudo apt-get food

*Has idea that will change the world!*
*finds awesome software to help accomplish said idea*

$apt install awesome-software

*Get weird error: Google error for 30 minutes and (of course!) come up with nothing useful and finally*

"Installation Succeded!"

Now.. What was my idea again?!?!

'sup

alias sup='sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y'

alias bitchplz='sudo dpkg --configure -a'

so today we used putty and coded the exercise within the university's server. i wanted to use "tree" to see all the files better cause thats what i normally use. turns out i had to install it.

i type in "sudo apt-install tree"

screen: no root priviledges. <university_login> is not included in root.txt. this will be reported immediately.

i forgot i needed root priviledges smh i just wanted to see my files better XD

On any given morning, when I"m not quite sure what to tackle first.... there's always:

sudo apt update

Ahh, now I feel like I did something.

"dude! are you hacking!?"

shutup, haven't had coffee yet.

sudo apt-get update

or

sudo apt update

I remember
I did this 1 command which i didnt understood properly
But all i can say is it "apt remove" this 1 package

Suddenly i am watching my every distro related package getting purged

And simultaneously my chrome stopped working , i can no longer open nautilus or even a folder
Terminal is dead
Desktop things are changing rapidly
And.. i finally thought oh well i needed to change my flavour anyways xD
That was how i met my first kernal panic

I regret running apt-get upgrade on this fucking shitty ass laptop with a potato CPU.

- So you just installed ubuntu 18.04, what to do next?

- step one:
sudo apt-get install ifupdown

- step two:
sudo apt-get purge netplan.io

You are all set!

Out of the blue this morning... little spaced out.

Open terminal. Navigate to my project.

Sudo apt-get 'a life' isn't working.

My friend recently tried to install apt on fedora 🤦‍♂️
Some how this created a zombie process And used a ton of the ram and the ram usage leaked out of the VM and into the host server
And I had to explain to him why a package manager meant for a system with dpkg will not work on one that uses rpm

In Mr.Robot tv series Eliot write:

Fuck me sideways. I work for a small business doing most of their IT work, a lot of which is in-house software development. Today I was working on a feature of our employee schedule system that I wrote and for the last couple of hours, my laptop (which is my dev machine) kept freezing up on me every ten minutes or so... 😬

Well, I finally found the cause, but only after running apt-get update/upgrade to see if updating fixed the issue. I haven't updated in a LONG time... Productivity is not on the agenda for today I suppose.

sudo apt-get remove -y ruby

Got to know the power of python in Linux today, when I accidently executed apt-get purge python* in Ubuntu and all the UI of Ubuntu got deleted and even the terminal couldn't run normally.
The good thing is I managed to fix it.

I may love apt but fuck me, the amount of times I've gotten told that the process is currently locked is making me go bat shit crazy -,-

I just saw the equalizer 2 at the cinema and about half way through there is a phone with "military grade encryption" on it. We see the phone screen showing the encryption and what is it? Freaking JQuery!

I hate it when I can't install & update a package through apt, instead it keeps bugging me to manually download the latest deb file every time it boots.

The program 'x' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install x.

Wow, thanks! I didn't know! I've always wanted to know how to install programs with apt.

sudo apt-get moo

Super Cow Powers, yey! :D

Hello, my name is Adam, I'm from Poland.
As a 16 year old dude I thought it would be a great idea to go to an IT focused highschool so I'd get my degree after finishing school but guess what- I completely fucked up.
First, there were the little things, like the teachers favoring other students that already knew stuff, which was okay and all- the problem began when Poziomka appreared (one of our PC service teachers). That motherfucker almost fluked me because of dumb shit like the PC's we worked on took forever to boot, so he's just go and give people F's, "Why?" you may ask- well because "It was obviously the student that made the PC run so slowely".
There were a few more incidents like when we were disassembling and assembling those dumb HP Compaq's PC's on time- and that fucker gave me an F because it took about 10 minutes to boot by itself.

That shit got me so demotivated its unreal, soon I found myself in a pretty dark spot, with my parents divorcing, my whore mother taking all the money- me not finding any reason to do anything in school and the cycle looped.
I'm not gonna pull the depression card here, but what I'm generally trying to say is that although I'm not "awful" at IT in general, so PC assembly, networking, programming (fuck that, I'm fucking awful at it), HTML, I still find it difficult to do anything right.

I have a question, how do I get myself back up? Any ideas?
There's so much material I've gone through in the last three years- and I just wanna make sure to get good- somehow.

I'm just a talentless dumbass kid who just wants to know how to do linux, programming and such, but I don't know where or how to start anymore.
If anyone has any stories where they turned their life around and managed to do IT right- please, tell me how you did it, I just wanna know is there a proper way of doing it.

- Adam

TIL you can make the smallest implementation of Debian:

Use only busybox and APT
Remove sysd and use busybox init

Holy fucking shit, let's make this an actual distro and call it debsmol

dumb question...
what fun things can you do with a router running linux arm7 with telnet accsess?

apt is not installed, cURL and rpm is.
and sudo doesn't seem to work, but su.

Why am i still seeing apt-get?

Save your typing bu just typing apt

I think the -f flag in apt-get means "fucking install it". Whenever apt reports some dependency error shit, I'll just do "apt-get install -f" and it magically fucking works.

sudo apt install devrant

If you spend a lot of time looking with computers then PLEASE use a blue light filter to reduce strain in your eyes as well to help you sleep well.

My favorite program for this is "redshift" and can be set up with this one liner

apt-get install redshift && redshift -O 3000

I bet that all web devs can confirm this.
-You spend hours writing the code, and then open it on google chrome but nothing works :-( so you try to fix it spending another hour and at the end of the day you think: "let me try with firefox" and magically everything works percectly. And after all this there is only one thing to do and is 'sudo apt purge google-chrome' LOL

I saw something like this not too long ago and though it was faked. Now I'm stumped.

She : Oh you write code ? Can you hack someone's computer ?

Me : Ya I can show hack google right now....

How about this package manager? It's apt for the job.

It's time to do: fucking apt update && fucking apt upgrade.

Apt-get mywilltolive

Worst mistake ever :
Didn't care for changing environment while pip or apt, always did sudo for no reason.

One day installed Conda and unity. Didn't realise it changed everything to python3-gi. Everything fucked up.

Tried to fix by started removing Conda removed gnome*, lost GUI.

For first time worked on tty, after a 6 hour redbull session. Got back the system working.

First thing then done is learn to install in virtual and local environments.

I've every been a Arch Linux fag. It's my main OS from 5 years. With a small parenthesis of two months of FreeBSD recently, I've used before Arch Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Fedora KDE, OpenSolaris (randomly), CentOs, plus a lot of others distro for tests.
But I've never tested Debian!
So I've installed it on my small server.

Oh... My... God.... It's fantastic. PACMAN >>> apt, but damn it's really stable and out of the box even if minimal. A very surprise. I think it can be my favorite remote Linux for a long time....

But a question rises. Why with a father like Debian... Ubuntu after the 11.04 is such a shame? The last I've tested is the 12.04 I think, but I've hated it, and I hate it even now. (Crash, driver not found, apt problem, very heavy repos and my internet sucks, UNITY, etc...)

Ubuntu, what happened to you ...? With Kubuntu 8 you were such a good guy...

"sudo apt remove nano" is easier than "update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/vim.basic" so I just do that.

'apt install tehfuck'
...
...
...
E: package tehfuck not found.

Fuck.

Didn't install linux for years now. Today, I have to and nothing changed about wifi drivers, at all ! Even the install process still sucks !

And they still ask to "sudo apt-get install fucking-wifi-driver" ?!?!?!

I don't have internet yet, that's the all point, damn it !

so after 1000 emails from Google baiting me to try Google cloud tools I did. 24 hours later apt-get is dead and I'm trying to remove the shit storm of gpg keys etc it added to my machine.

Installing a software on Linux can be such a pain sometimes....
This software needs a dependency, which needs another, which in turn needs another......

I mean if you already know you need it, go install it yourself. Why do I need to do everything manually?

And no. A simple apt get install won't work. You need a third party dependency which adds the package to the repository and some other stuff before you can do anything.

Why? Just why?

If any of you out there are forced to develop on a Windows machine and want to make it just a little more linux like, download the chocolatey package manager. It's similar to Macs brew or linux apt, yum, pacman, zypper; but for windows.

Could make you're life just that much easier

just a poll i'm looking for from all the linux based dev's

What distro would you recommend for a front end dev? Tried ubuntu but the wifi driver wasnt supported I guess in my dev machine. Currently looking at Elementary OS, but still undecided. I would primarily like it to be Debian based or something close as I'm very familiar with apt-get debain based stuff, and dont really feel like learning an entirely new distro at them moment.

Thanks all :D

PS. I have a Lenovo Ideapad 110

Tried it just few moment ago. It's the most beautiful OS I had ever seen. But ...
There is hell lot of issues. Except for the top sites like google, facebook linkedin github, no other page or site is opening. Browser just stops by saying "site can't be reached". Also these sites are loading slower than usual.
Even internet is unaccessible from terminal. Apt-get install just stops at "getting headers 0%"

Is there a big difference on the amount of packages on pacman, apt-get and yum. Can I use either of them and be sure that most applications are available ?

1.5h into the c++ course (which I'm doing as a refresh).

I spend most of the time fixing errors I had with my general system (apt had some issues) and helping the people next to me who are new to this.
Will probably do some c++ tutorials next. I think I'm just using this course as an excuse to finally come around and put some time into learning C++ properly xD

Well.. I Guess i can't use apt-get anymore then...

I try to use apt-get ( image at top)

It does not work. Libc6 needs to be
reinstalled.

I try to install a libc6 package i downloaded from packages.debian.org
(image at bottom)

An error occurs.

Fuck My life!

KDE Connect is really a blessing. The fact that I can do everything and more with Android plus Linux combo than iOS plus Mac is superb. I mean, I can remotely send power off command, start Spotify and control it, remotely start apt upgrade, or turn off the screen is so useful. Plus I can reply to the any message from any messaging app, get notifications and transfer files quickly from PC to smartphone and the other way is just great.

apt-get install life
The following packages will be REMOVED:
destiny, future, goals, mother , father, siblings

FUCK THIS SHIT

Sometimes, when I’m stressed, I do this thing that I really enjoy looking at: installing updates.
Homebrew, pip, npm (global & local), apt, even manual updates in apps. This in several machines.

I like having the logs flow smoothly. It’s soothing.

sudo apt-get install coffee

If your the installation instructions for your software are to clone the repo and build from source then fuck you!

I want to use the thing not tinker with it. Make it available on apt or something

Huh... Okay, fine
>Machine has apt repos from 4 different system releases

>Nope.elf

Some folk should never decide to admin a machine on their own :|

alias fucking="sudo"

fucking apt update

termux : Android terminal with apt repos like vim, nano, tar, zsh, wget, plugable & more. Also small footprint.

.. htop in gif (incase if don't know)

I some time's feel stupid when my Ubuntu start acting up on prod, purge this and that ,fuck apache can't start system CTL that ps ax grep in the p#$#@* , damn apt install nginx full good, mysql can't start too ,OK apt install mariadb-client else percona && apt postgresql thanks ,god no client noticed ..

I type "sudo apt-get install ..." then I delete the line back till apt and again write the whole fucking statement cause linux wished to save my time in 16.04...

So LUA injector to Payday 2 requires on Linux certain library (libcurl3). So you know, sudo apt install libcurl3 and there you go!

You would think.

Apparently while you do that, the installation of libcurl3, it completely nukes your Steam installation... For some reason.
Can some please explain me, what the hell just happened? Please?

A "safe" Ubuntu update decided to fuck with my AMD drivers and after rebooting, a nostalgic black emergency terminal greeted me with some cryptic message containing hex code as if any mortal user could make sense of it.

To add insult to injury, local mirrors don't have 18.04 which makes apt vomit errors during software installation.

How the hell does the most well known distro out there manage to have problems like that?

How to run PHP in a container :
1. Begin a docker file for an existing php cron app (when all you know is php, everything looks like a php app)
2. Set the FROM.. Apt get update .. Do composer install
3. Builds the image
4. Discover I need git
5. Add git to apt get install step
6. Builds the image
7. Launch the php script
8. Fatal : use of undefined constant SOL_UDP
9. Opens the source code of the third party. The there's no mention of where that constant is from.
10. Spend many minutes online to find what's missing.
11. Find the PHP sockets page about that option. Digs into the documentation to find out that's missing from the installed PHP.
12. Find out I need to add a step to install the socket extension in my docker file.
13. Build the image again
14. Execute it, finally it works
15. Remember why I hate php
(for brevity I've omitted the even more complex part of having to set up zlib)

How to install node js in a container image:
FROM node:8
ADD package.json
RUN npm install

I just setup an apt-cache on my Macbook. Docker no longer takes 10 years to `apt-get install` when I'm at the coffee shop. This coffee shop is going to loose so much money now that my work is done faster.

So Pop!_OS is my primary OS for development and Windows is my primary OS for gaming. I have Pop!_OS installed on my laptop (alongside Windows but I almost never use Windows on my laptop) and Windows on my desktop gaming computer.

One of the things I love about Debian-based OSes like Pop is the apt package manager. One of the things I've always hated about Windows is the fact it was lacking a cli package manager like apt.

Then I did a Google search for one and found Chocolatey. Curious about it, I installed it on my laptop (I was in Windows at the time to use FL Studio, which I've found doesn't work very happily with Wine.) With Chocolatey, I installed VirtualBox and Vagrant, and I have to say, I'm not disappointed. I'm ecstatic I've finally found a cli package manager for Windows.

TL;DR: If you use Windows and you don't have Chocolatey, get it.

... but it has super cow powers !
