AvocaAny Debian folk out there explain why a fresh install of Debian 13 won't run USERMOD, ADDUSER, or CHECK, even though PASSWD is installed?
It must be me, no doubt. This is the second MacBook Pro I have had this problem with.
Thank you.
bignoseYou're seeing “command not found” for the superuser-only commands 'usermod' and 'adduser', because those are not in the search path of a regular user (and should not be, because a regular user doesn't have the needed permissions).
The superuser will have permission to run those commands, so you can e.g. 'sudo /usr/sbin/adduser foo'.
You're seeing “Invalid operation check” when you try 'apt check', because that's not a subcommand implemented for 'apt'. Why do you think it would be there?
Try 'apt --help' to list valid subcommands.

Is "AI told me to do it" a variation of "I only followed orders"?
If you give up thinking on your own by outsourcing it to AI than you are destined for much more failure and suffering.
Better learn the hard way and understand, rather than going the deceptive fast food knowledge route. Your future self will thank you for it.
You wouldn't outsource sex to some insensitive robot, would you? Thinking on your own is every bit as satisfying once you get the hang of it.

Please understand I fully agree with you all.
I have zero faith in AI. Never have, never will.
I'm 66 y.o.and have managed quite well so far on my own wits.
Having said that, I simply used Lumo(Proton's LLM) to second-guess an issue I was having with a new, to me, distro, about a REALLY basic command, "usermod".
I have learned my lesson and please rest assured, the public shaming and the, oh so crushing humiliation has rendered me humbled(?).
Therefore, I publicly declare now NEVER AGAIN to use AI in any shape or form, so help me... Dude.
