Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

and yet the person who gave me the advice AND also started this whole argument posted this:

which i then said is useless and pointless.



God, why do so many of you fail so bad?? I'M NOT AGAINST people giving out warnings, it's for the good of newbies and even expert users, I **** GET THAT. But what kind of a advice/warning is that??


Seriously, u guys need to go back from page 1 and LEARN TO READ.



And what makes me face palm even more is how you guys can manage to mis-read my initial post and not realize that what i'm asking doesn't even require any warning in the first place, i only wanted a quick shortcut to enable it from the desktop, i am not asking for a PERMANENT "sudo gainroot".



I've already gotten 2 solutions from 2 helpful users. Someone please close or delete this thread before more illiterate idiots show up and post unnecessary crap and create flame wars. God damn, it's like i'm trying to teach a bunch of kids to read, i quoted the guy and yet u guys still try to defend for him saying he's giving me advice and warning.


I'm still yet to be explained how a **** 3 word sentence:

(Quoted for the **** 4th or 5th time)


can represent a warning of any kind. U guys r **** ridiculous clowns.

chaoscreater, I agree with you not liking their initial posts, since they amounted to mainly "don't do it" and the like. However, calling them spammers is hardly valid. They're not necessarily as productive or wisely worded posts as they could have been, but they are expressions of sentiments very relevant to this thread. Thus on-topic enough to not be spam.

That said, you don't sound like you fully know what you're doing, to be honest, but that's between you and your N900, so if you feel you understand the risks, great.

Which is where I disagree with the rest of you - what you could have done was give him the shell command for launching X-Term already rooted, and THEN presented your warnings.

- EDIT -

About the tags in this thread - I don't think I can add tags, but please, someone put something actually indicative of the thread contents in here. I'm sure whoever made the thread tags "chaoticdick" and "chaoticidiot" thinks they're all witty or whatever, but get off your high horse and add some actual tags like "sudo" "gainroot" "root" "automatic", etc, to the thread. That way the next person is more likely to figure out how to do it instead of us getting another thread with more of the same.

Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

well no i wasn't flaming, trolling or getting angry, you're right on 2 and heading for the 3rd.

na ur right theres no risk to using devel and no one cares, never seen a single soul on here who's messed something up or not realised they were gonna fill rootfs and then came asking for help. (and may i add, received it)

and i've never seen anyone accidentally delete an important folder because they were messing about as root not knowing what they were doing.

you're also right about shortcuts, we should have shortcuts for everything in the name of efficiency! i'm away to code a desktop widget, "zero confirmation complete system nuke!" jus incase ya wanna go the whole hog.

overclocked to death? interesting choice of words.

tons of mods ad tweaks? i assume you mean copy-pasted tons of other peoples mods and tweaks (not that theres anything wrong with that)

people with enough sense to heed warnings will take that simple 3 words as enough. people who need 3inch tall emboldened red lettered capitalised messages of doom to realise its a warning aren't going to listen anyway. as you've just pointed out.

i'm sorry you feel this is your thread and i should somehow be shot for treading on your hallowed ground with my opinions, but believe it or not people here aren't obliged by law to bend over and provide exactly the answer you want because you took three seconds to start a new thread.

Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

oh, before i finished typing my reply you already three inched and emboldened my reply, as i've just said even if you red letter it too theres still those special people who wont quite understand. :)

Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

I don't have a problem with their initial post, that's y i posted something like:


Seriously, what the hell am i suppose to be taken out from just:



So all is well but then the guy decided to flame. And as you can see, he posted another reply right after urs, and this just proves my point even more:

*yawn*. Kid, maybe u dun realize how ridiculously stupid u are, but ur arguing and defending over your initial 3 word comment "I hope not". There there, you want a fukn cookie?

PS: U took 0.5 milliseconds to post an useless comment of "i hope not". Elaborate that ****, which u haven't done at all since 1973.

All i hear is a bunch of bullcrap defending ur 3 epic words.

Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

**** yourself!!!!!

Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

Yup. My point proven. Spammers indeed.

Tell that to my face and maybe i'll give you a cookie.


Seriously, if there is any mods or admin in this community, please close this thread. I fear spammers like these will over swarm me.

Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

@chaoscreater: You really need to take a chill pill.

..And discover what a 'spammer' is.

Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

yes i would like a cookie.

do you even read your own posts? you seem fond of quoting miine as if everyone else was too ******ed to read them first time round, but your own posts are accusing others of flaming trolling and spamming, right before you demonstrate classic textbook examples of each.

obviously you have some sort of qwertial tourrettes and i'd recommend staying away from xterm altogether, never mind as root. oh and forums too, possibly just people in general.

Re: How to enable auto "sudo gainroot" command in XTerminal??
 

you started flamin everyone as"troll,spammer,clown,ridicioulos kid and all that stuff just because someone said I HOPE NO.
so here is my answer:
F.u.c.k
