Operation not permitted - Sudo access missing

[dusk moth]

Hi, I am currently trying to install python3-venv on my runpod instance.
However I am getting bunch of sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE): Operation not permitted messages and ultimately the install finishes with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

However python was not installed. If I try sudo -v it shows:
sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE): Operation not permitted
So it appears as im missing sudo/admin permissions? How can that be and how do I get them.

You are already root when you connect to the instances

[dusk moth]

yea i assume so, but why am I getting these errors?

[thorn mortar]

did you just run apt update && apt install python3-venv -y

[dusk moth]

yea I did

To be precise I did the following

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install software-properties-common && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa && sudo apt install python3-venv

[thorn mortar]

Remove all the sudos

apt install python3-venv```

[dusk moth]

tried now im seeing this

> 
> apt install python3-venv
Reading package lists... Done
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/```

so again some weird perm issue 😭

Why are you in default instead of root ?

[brisk lichen]

@thorn mortar probably custom image that has some user created

setrlimit wont work as it requires provilaged container

@brisk lichen @thorn mortar sers, what does that mean? what do I need to do

I am using the runpod dekstop image btw

RunPod Desktop
runpod/kasm-docker:cuda11

[thorn mortar]

Try to connect to the root

ssh to you user and password

Try su -

[dusk moth]

you mean connect web terminal? I usually do connect to HTTP

[thorn mortar]

Quit your page and click again on "connect to web terminal" and send a screenshot

[dusk moth]

trying. Not sure why but so far it's not loading at all

[thorn mortar]

?

Strange

[dusk moth]

very much. Its definitely not a user created image, so I should have root access even when I login thru web service

alr its working in another browser. w/e

I am trying to login using the credentials it shows below webterminal

says su: user ****** does not exist

[dusk moth]

switched to vast. No issues there

But I would love to find a solution to this

[brisk lichen]

would be cool to know docker image name

[dusk moth]

What you mean?

[dusk moth]

I shared it here, isnt it that?

[brisk lichen]

Tell what docker image you are trying to run

[dusk moth]

Sorry?

Its already running the runPod template. Not sure what else u mean

Kasmweb VNC - Ubuntu Remote Desktop CUDA 11.8 | that more specific for you/did u mean that?
