Currently back on Debian(#! to be specific). I did a few installs of Arch sitting on an lvm (a beautiful combo). By defalt nothing was managing the processor, or if it was, it was not doing a good job. System would overheat in minutes. Combo of cpu and gpu, mostly cpu.
I quickly got addicted to pacman. ha
So now, I think I'm going going to analyze what PM setup is sitting here in #!, then make another attempt with Arch, mirroring the PM.
Cheers!

]]>You are right, it does make more sense to just use the wheel group. I have my name hardcoded in just because that is the way I have done it for years.
I can confirm that that fixed the problem. I have no idea why it would make any difference, but that fixed it.
Thanks for your help and welcome to Arch :-)

PS. I don't think there is any need to delete your post, I can't see anything wrong with it.
]]>Was in the process of watching an install of Arch when I came across this post. I was doing a search on %wheel.
Anyhow, I see that your first wheel is still commented.
## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
* Reinstall SUDO
* Uncomment the "first wheel". Leave the second one alone.
* add your user to the -G (group) wheel.
It should work then.
I've never used Arch, I will be hopefully in a couple hours. So don't take this next part the wrong way.
Why are adding yourself in the file this way? Not sure what the up/downside is to hardcoding oneself into the sudoers file.
My understanding is that the user should just be added to the wheel group, then uncomment the "1st" %wheel.
SUDO should work fine after that.
This clip should start right at the sudo install.
Watch the video to where he edits sudoers file.

FIrst post, don't even have Arch installed yet. Hope I do it the Arch Way.

In my tty $TERM is 'linux'
In my emulators it is either 'xterm-256color' or 'screen-256color', depending on if I am using tmux or not.
]]>This is probably very simple but I can't figure out how to solve it.
When I use yaourt to install software and it requests root using sudo I get the following message in every terminal window that is open:
sudo: dacre : a password is required ; TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/tmp/yaourt-tmp-dacre/aur-bedtools ; USER=root ; COMMAND=list /usr/bin/pacman --color auto -U /tmp/yaourt-tmp-dacre/PKGDEST.El8/bedtools-2.20.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
This is very messy, particularly as it overwrites tmux windows as well. Does anyone know how I can disable this?
Thanks!
