Operation not permitted - Sudo access missing

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

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

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

Volko•8mo ago

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

AnsatsuOP•8mo ago

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

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

Remove all the sudos

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

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

Why are you in default instead of root ?

Madiator2011•8mo ago

@Volko probably custom image that has some user created setrlimit wont work as it requires provilaged container
