Monodevelop does not start on Linux Mint 17

By
I have installed Monodevelop using Software Manager in Linux Mint 17. It seems like all went okay but nothing was working. It turns out that missing dependencies was the culprit. To fix it do the following: $: sudo apt-get install mono-complete $: sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp3 Reference(s): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25791149/monodevelop-will-not-start-in-mint-17

HowTo: Fix "user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" in Debian

By
In Debian, the user created during installation is not automatically added to the sudoers list. To fix do: Change to root user by typing su in a terminal. As root, do visudo . Search for line root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL . Copy that line (in nano, do Ctrl+K then Ctrl+U to uncut and on more Ctrl+U to duplicate the line). Change that new line to like timus    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL . This adds user timus to the sudoers. Reference(s): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1837295

As usual in Linux/Debian there so many ways to do this but below are the steps that I have done: Boot the machine using the boot media, I was using debian-jessie-DI-b2-amd64-netinst.iso and yes I am using VirtualBox. Select Advanced options | Rescue mode. Follow text based wizard, change the values as you see fit. I did English for Select a language . Then United States for Select your location . American English for Configure the keyboard . Used debian in Configure the network - note that this does not have to match to the machine that you want to recover.  Left blank for the domain. Then for Configure the clock I selected Central . In Enter rescue mode , I have selected /dev/sda1 as I only have one SATA HD and I know that the first partition was my root. You probably to make guesses if you wan...
