giantowl · 2021-02-08 20:45:39

hi all!
im linux noob, trying to install google drive and have a problem...
first of all I have installed google-drive-ocamlfuse
next step is to get root-user into fuse group, I guess, but

sudo usermod -a -G fuse nik
usermod: group «fuse» does not exist

and next I need to authorize google-drive-ocamlfuse in my google account, but browser doesnt starts!

sudo google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/google-drive/

Welcome to the forums, giantowl!

It's telling you right there what the problem is: don't be root for this software. It's failed to doom, and insecure.
You can check what groups your regular user is in with:

id

If you are all set you can edit the first post and edit the subject to add [SOLVED] before the title. This may help others who might be stumped with this same thing.

Great!
Not to wag a finger at you, but this is an important lesson: don't be root unless you really have to.
And don't EVER think that "if a command doesn't work, I'll just try it with sudo"! This xkdb is funny but technically bad advice.
