Re: [Ltib] Fwd: ltib installation problem

[Douglas Peterson]

Below is my sudoers file. It is Ubuntu 11.04. If my sudoers file was not 
correct, I would get the same error that Giuseppe did (I recall that from my 
setup experience).

The prompt I get when I run LTIB is (note that 'build' is the user name on this 
machine):
[sudo] password for build:

If I have recently entered the password, I won't get prompted. The point in the 
build process that I get prompted seems random. It generally happens during the 
merge step, but can be earlier or later.

This sudo behavior is "normal". It works this way when I sudo anything, like 
"sudo rm -r rootfs" which I do fairly often.

You shouldn't have to.

1) What is it asking you sudo to do?
2) Which version if Linux are you running?
3) What does you sudoers file look like(i.e. what did you add)?  I have:

peter  ALL = NOPASSWD:    /usr/bin/rpm, /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm

At the absolute end of /etc/sudoers.  If you use a Cmd_Alias instead, I've run 
across a few Linux versions where that didn't work, it would always ask for a 
password...

Hi all,

I want install ubuntu with driver for SIERRA SL8092 modem HSPA.
I'm newbie. How i can do?
thanks
i have this error when i write./ltib:

I ran the command: sudo -S -l which returned:

Matching Defaults entries for giuseppe on this host:
    env_reset

User giuseppe may run the following commands on this host:
    (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm, (root) /opt/freescale/ltib/usr/bin/rpm
    (ALL) ALL

This means you don't have sudo permission to execute rpm commands as root
without a password.  This is needed for this build script to operate correctly.

To configure this, as root using the command "/usr/sbin/visudo",
and add the following line in the User privilege section:

giuseppe ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm, /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm
Giuseppe, you need to modify /etc/sudoers (run "sudo /usr/sbin/visudo") to 
allow you to run "/opt/ltib/user/bin/rpm" - it shows you can run 
"/opt/freescale/ltib/user/bin/rpm".  Make that change and this error should go 
away...
