Arch linux no tty

Arch Linux

As I’m reinstalling arch, I’m getting this error after I create my home user:

$ sudo -v . sudo: no tty present and no askpass program

I can’t use sudo at all under my home user. This is a pretty common problem, but out of the ~30 threads I’ve found on Google, none of the fixes suggested get rid of this error. I’m using the exact same scripts that I’ve used to install Arch 10+ times previously, and I’ve never had this error come up.

The only change I’ve done to the «/etc/sudoers» file is uncommenting:

Uncommenting this instead works:

%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

But I don’t want that for security reasons. «requiretty» is NOT set in «etc/sudoers». I only use `visudo` to edit this file. Also, `visudo` is running with «vim», if that matters:

My root password is set (with `passwd`), and I’m setting up my home user like this:

useradd -m -g users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash me passwd me

Like I said, I’m using the same method that’s worked many times before, but this time it isn’t. I’ve tried restarting the installation from scratch in case it was just a fluke, but the problem persists. Has there been a change in the way «wheel» works in a recent update of «sudo» or something? Do I need to install another package first? Could it be a problem from the arch iso I’m using? It’s the «2015.08.01» image.»

If anyone has any ideas, thanks in advance.

I’ve done a new install that ‘m really happy with. Unfortunately, when I use the function keys to switch to a different TTY, none exist. I can get back to X on F7, but the usual TTY’s just don’t exist. Does anyone know whether this is a bug, or did something go amiss in the install?

Reasons why you may want to try GNU/Linux:

Re: [SOLVED] No TTY’s available after new install.

Maybe you have «Option «DontVTSwitch» set to yes in xorg.conf?

Re: [SOLVED] No TTY’s available after new install.

That sounds like a good place to start, but I didn’t create an xorg.conf. could it be somewhere else?

Re: [SOLVED] No TTY’s available after new install.

If you don’t have one, that shouldn’t be it. How do you start X?

Re: [SOLVED] No TTY’s available after new install.

I followed the install guide and it said you only needed an xorg.conf if you aren’t happy to have X automatically do your settings. I’ll check, but I’m sure I don’t have one.

Re: [SOLVED] No TTY’s available after new install.

That’s perfectly fine, what I meant was that if you don’t have an xorg.conf the error must be somewhere else. Maybe it has to do with login manager, and how it is started. I run gnome from .xinitrc/xinitab (with exec ck-launch-session gnome-session) and switching to tty works. You may also check initab if they are active, however there are by default.

I have the same problem, TTY worked some time ago but now for some unknown reason they dont work.

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Re-read what V1del asked you to do — you have a typo.

No, it didn’t «fix» anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. — jasonwryan

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Please forgive my lack of knowledge!
how can I do what V1del told to do?

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Do you see the difference between what V1del told you to add, and what you actually added?

How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Thank you for showing me the differences!

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=nvidia-drm.modeset=1

maybe something to do with fn key of macbook, or screen resolution?
