I accidentally chmodded my entire /etc/ folder to 755 privileges.
It's not completely critical because my system is a home server.
My biggest problem is that MySQL is pitching a start-up message saying that I have 'unprotected key file', clamav is stating that it won't start until it has owner permissions...
I did chmod 600 /etc/passwd just in case.
"How do I see all the start-up complaints in a text file?"
There's a physical problem with my Microsoft mouse (and from what I've heard many other Microsoft and Logitech mice) where it accidentally double clicks during what is intended to be one click from me. I was thinking that surely some software that ignores the next click input from the mouse if it is within say 50ms (At a guess) as the last click would solve this problem and increase the longevity of these mice. Is there an option for this somewhere? Perhaps it would be easy to program a simple script or something for this?

I have setup my debian 8 web server.
For some reason I am having some issues with permissions of some images. They don't render because they are not set to 644. Now for some reason when I uploaded these files onto my shared hosting with cPanel the files work fine and permissions are fine. I can see there is a permission issue for the files locally on my Mac (OS X - El Capitan).
When I changes these locally on Mac the permissions go all weird and are prefixed with Custom, rather than mac-user-name: Read & Write, staff: Read, everyone: no access. then changes to custom: read & write etc. So then i tried changing permissions on web server see below and I get permission denied and after all the files are gone, i can't delete the images folder through SFTP or SSH. I changed back the image to 755 and tried deleting and still nothing. Not sure what the problem is. Before I chmod I checked that the images are set to the correct user and group as per the rest of the site.
So I try:
Code: Select alluser_name@debian:/var/www/html/_files$ chmod -R 644 images
and I get this return:
Code: Select allchmod: cannot access ‘images/box-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/ie-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/google-plus-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/mobile-ready-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/404.jpg’: Permission denied

I 've been running Kubuntu 10.4 for some time now.At some point, I installed evolution-indicator and indicator-messages, and after reboot, the system booted on GNOME instead of KDE.Is there any way to reverse it? I tried uninstalling both packages but that did not have any effects.

I just erased +200GB worth of photos, documents, music and videos on my external hard drive.I wanted to try the new Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Alpha 2, so I downloaded the .iso, launched the live USB disk creator and tried to format my 1GB pendrive to make room for the OS. Somehow, I ended formatting my 320GB external USB hard drive. The hard drive had to partitions (one EXT3 and one NTFS), but now it only has a FAT partition that spans the whole drive.I understand that the new FAT partition may have erased the EXT3 data structures at the beggining of the partition, making file recovery next to impossible.A confirmation dialog on the live USB disk creator wouldn't have hurted either.
View 5 Replies View RelatedA rather new user here, was messing with the preferences on a user folder of mine on Karmic, looking for a way to make the folder invisible to users (like the old windows option). Set it to 'none', then closed it, returned to the directory finding the folder with a box with an 'x' on it.
Went to open it, it says 'access denied'. So I think 'okay, how do I undo that', go back to see if I can restore it back to 'read & write' with no sucess.
Seached the forums for a solution to this issue, most of solutions revolve around 'gksudo nautilus' which I attempted to open via command-line. Nothing seemed pop open after I entered my password in responce to entering said command-line, probably because I really don't know how to use Nautilus.
I accidentally deleted all the files from file system in my hard drive (thankfully not my /home since it resided on a separate hdd). I did this from another system while I had connected that hdd to look at some files since my system was not booting correctly. The problem is that I deleted everything (manually while I was in nautilus) including the .Trash file. I have not formatted this drive so the partition table remains the same, nor have I written anything to it since the deletion, and, this drive is using ext4. What is the best way to restore this drive to how it was (say yesterday at 4:30PM)? (I have a lot of programs installed and I have been upgrading Ubuntu there since 9.04 to now 10.04). If I am not mistaken when data is deleted in ext4 it is simply flagged as usable space, and if that is so, is it possible to just simply unflag this data to get every file back the way it was yesterday at 4:30PM?

I think I did something dumb. I was trying to increase the space allocation to my /home virtual disk on my wubi installation of Ubuntu. I ran the wubi-add-virtual-disk utility (as I had done before the first time I increased my space), but I received the message "The target virtual disk /host/ubuntu/disks/$virtual_disk already exists, aborting." So, thinking that all my data was in a different path and that the file home.disk was probably just some configuration file of little importance (I should've checked and I should've made a backup of it myself), I browsed to /host/ubuntu/disks and ran "rm home.disk", then reran the wubi-add-virtual-disk utility (stored in my still existing /home/cportiz/Downloads directory), and I thought I had successfully increased my space.
To my horror, upon restarting my computer, my desktop was empty and basically unusable as there is nothing to click on. I rebooted on recovery mode and logged on in terminal mode, then browsed to /home and found an EMPTY folder. I ran locate home.disk and found a file at /host/ubuntu/disks with the size that I specified when I ran the virtual disk utility, but I don't know where my old contents are. I didn't just delete all that stuff. it is still somewhere on my hard drive and that all I need to do is modify the home.disk file in this or that way or hit restore. There is not a home.backup file at /host/ubuntu/disks/.
Anyhow, if indeed I've lost everything, I can probably restore most of the work I'd done (only a couple of weeks worth) pretty quickly. Some of the files were backed up in other computers, etc... How to restore my wubi installation to a functional one? I would prefer not to have to reinstall ubuntu altogether since I believe the majority of the packages I've installed were housed on /opt meaning I can get back up and running compiling certain programs from source fairly quickly and most of the recovery effort is in rewriting some of the files that were stored in /home.
i unplugged the wrong machine during an rdiff-backup run, and when i try to ssh to that machine now, i get 'connection refused'. the machine was set up with ssh-copy-id before the accidental unplug.

Here's a weird one. Once in a while I inadvertantly hit the key combination RIGHT-ARROW + INSERT on my keyboard while editing in Geany. This stops my mouse buttons from working and I have to kill xorg. Anyone heard of this before or how to fix it? I know I know, I should stop hitting those keys by accident, but it seems to happen at least once a day! This is on Fedora 12.

How to use CHMOD in linux? When I try to delete a file/folder, permission is denied. What exact params must I give for chmod here? This is what I need to do. Execute a command ./build.mips , but I get permission denied error.
kirti@sgf:/disk/go$./build.mips
-bash: ./build.mips: Permission denied
Well I did something really stupid:sudo chmod 700 -R /Why? because it's late and I'm tired and somehow thought it was only on my current dir...Is this somehow fixable? I don't get my usual loginscreen so I guess through an tty?

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to issue "su -", I get "su: Authentication failure", and I'm 100% sure password I enter is ok.
I think it started to happen after I issued
chmod +s /usr/bin/screen
chmod 755 /usr/bin/screen
which I believe is unrelated to this problem, and,
chmod -s /bin/su (-s by mistake)
chmod 755 /bin/su
which most probably made the whole mess...
this is not the part of the problem I believe but here's some background why I did that... when trying to make possible for screen sessions to be started automatically on boot under non-root account, I entered something like "su - username -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS screenname ./executable-file"" in bootmisc.sh, but I was getting "must run suid root for multiuser support", so I tried to fix it, and now I can't login to root account no way.
I've got a Centos server setup as a web server and have no problems doing anything from the command line. Some users need to connect via FTP, and need to be able to chmod files and directories as they please. I've been able to allow the users to connect to the web directory via FTP, but can't work out how to allow them the ability to chmod anything within the folder. The files were originally uploaded by root user, however I want any user connecting via FTP to be able to edit permissions as they please.

View 1 Replies View Relatedor at least, it doesn't seem to. for some reason, my .txt, .doc, .rtf, and other files that shouldn't have the execute bit set often seem to (i think i know why, but that's not important). it's my understanding that this command should, for example, remove the execute bit from all .rtf files recursively (that is, from .rtf files in subdirectories too):
Code: chmod -R 666 *.rtf i've read help and the man page for chmod, and it seems that -R switch should make chmod work recursively, but it only alters files in the present working directory. could someone point out what i'm doing wrong?
