Debian :: Camera And Usb Sticks Need Root Permissions?

Jul 10, 2010

How does one train a digital camera and USB stick to accept user access? Basically, this involves transferring photos from my camera to my machine, sorting and then moving favourites to the USB stick. Or moving selections that others have sent me to the USB stick. I am constantly changing ownership and permissions and it's driving me nuts. How can I send anything to a USB stick as a user?

Debian :: Use File Manager Actions With Root Permissions?

Jul 30, 2011

If I use the GUI File Manager I ofter get stuck because I need root permissions to write or delete some file or directory. I realize I can drop down to Terminal and do either a sudo or change the permissions of a particular file, but these are several extra steps. Is there a way I can perform root actions on files using File Manager/Browser? Or is there an alternative file manager program I can explore that is more flexible? I am currently using Debian 6.01a installed from the Live CD, Nautilus 2.30.1.

Debian :: Default Ownership Of Folders And Files - Should Own By A User Without Root Permissions

Feb 12, 2011

Being new to Linux, i've just about got used to the Debian setup procedure now, but had a quick question on the default ownership of files and folders. On my default Debian installation, almost all the folders and files are owned by root:root. Is this the correct advised configuration or should the folders and files be owned by a user without root permissions - eg user:user?

Ubuntu :: How To Access Camera As Root

Dec 2, 2010

I'm having some problems getting photos off of my camera that I am thinking I can work with if I can access the photos on the camera as superuser. However I don't understand how Ubuntu (gnome) mounts cameras now, they don't show up as a mounted drive and I can't access (or find it at all) with 'sudo nautilus.'

[edit] Oh, also, the camera shows up if using nautilus not as a superuser.

Software :: Member Of Group Root / But Root Group Permissions Don't Apply?

Apr 20, 2010

A bit of an oddity that I've recently run into with my storage folder in my system; it's a newly installed drive that I've set to mount at /storage. When I first tried to use it, programs that I used that attempted to write to it tossed Access Denied errors at me in their own way. Checking the permissions (at the Terminal, ls -l / | grep storage) showed that /storage was set to 'rwxrwxr--'--Owner and Group were given full read/write/execute, but Others could only read. However, my logon to my system is a member of group root. Why, then, with the above bits set, would I not be able to write to it? Changing Others permissions to rwx (and presumably rw would have worked out for me since I don't leave anything executable there) allowed me to write to it, but I don't understand why that would have been necessary. So far as I'm aware, the prior drive that was in my system--mounted at the same location--did not need this treatment.

Fedora :: Only Run App As Root - Change Permissions

Jul 24, 2010

after a fresh install of fedora 13 I was expecting a few niggles and here's one, I've googled and read man chmod and chown and there seems to be plenty of conflicting advice, oh yeah the problem, I installed a package called get_iplayer (allows downloading of bbc iplayer content) via yum, only thing is I can only run it as root whereas in f12 I could as a normal user. It's probably the simplest command to change permissions, also I can't find any info on what the different numbers mean (775 777 etc)

Ubuntu :: Run Firefox With Root Permissions?

Nov 27, 2010

I use netbeanse as a development suite, but to edit/save file correctly it should run with root permissions. When I do run file or debug them, it launches firefox, but due netbeans have been opened by root user, it tries to open firefox as root also, and it seems to be something that should not do. Either I now upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala and sudo firefox does not work anymore, giving me no errors even from CLI.

Ubuntu :: Root Can't Change Permissions?

Aug 4, 2011

how to use permissions. I ran into a weird problem in which I am unable to change permissions as root. I have a file I've been testing commands on, and somewhere along the line I think I gave it zero permissions. Now I'd like to restore some permissions, but can't. Here's what I'm looking at:

Code:
jeremy@jeremy-laptop:~/test$ ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 jeremy jeremy 235 2011-05-17 13:15 onelink
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jeremy jeremy 27 2011-08-02 18:05 threecopy
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jeremy jeremy 27 2011-05-09 17:10 three.txt

Ubuntu :: Add Root Permissions To User?

Jun 5, 2010

How do I add root permissions to my user account?

I want full permissions for all computers in my house, without having to get up and go to the other room and change permissions for the file, then go back to the other room again.

I just created a partition, as THIS user, THIS machine, rebooted, and cannot create a folder on the partition I just created. UGH. No more of this stuff...

Get Fedora 11 and Apache installed. Open web browser and enter http://localhost and I get a "Fedora Test Page" that shows Apache is working (according to the info on the page). It says to put my web documents in /var/www/html/ ... however, as a user I cannot access it (put anything there) and I can't change the permissions (belongs to root) I'd like to run this as an intranet web server in our small ( <100 users) company.

OpenSUSE :: Can't Change File Permissions As Root

I just wanted to set some file permissions right. As root:

Code:
# chown -R kikinovak:users /home/kikinovak/Documents

But all I get is a series of "Operation not permitted" errors. What's going on here? I tried this:

Code:
# find /home/kikinovak/Documents -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} ;

... with the same strange errors.

Ubuntu :: IPod Persist With Root Permissions

Jan 29, 2010

Okay so my iPod auto mounts correctly to /media/IPOD (out of the box). But the permissions are set to root leaving me with no write permissions for syncing. Obviously it works if I sudo rhythmbox and then sync, but it's too much of a hassle and not very optimal (having to re-add the songs you want to sync etc).

So...How do I make my iPod mount with permissions allowing me to read & write? Previously (in 8.10 Intrepid Ibex) it used to auto mount with correct permissions.

Some info that might be worth brining up: This all started after I got my iPod back from Apple Store for repairs. I noticed they had updated the firmware and formated it to HFS+, I told them I wanted it changed to FAT32 and got it changed rather quickly. Is it possible they f'd something up when formatting? If so, how do I correct it?

Debian :: OS Does Not See Digital Camera Via USB

Mar 20, 2010

We've got one of those fancy, modern digital cameras and it's great for taking pictures, but I'd love to back those pictures up, too. When I connect the camera via its USB cable to my computer, the OS just doesn't "see" the camera/connection. Nothing shows up in fdisk -l. However, when I connect my mobile phone or USB HD via the same port, they show up in fdisk and can be mounted without any problem. The scary thing is that on my partner's laptop, running gNewSense (with Gnome), it (auto)mounts without any problems. The camera is a NIkon Coolpix L20 with an SD card.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Changing Permissions From Root To User

Jun 6, 2010

I recently got a new external drive and backed all my files up on the new external: movies, music, docs, etc. Now all my files have permission rights to the root only. I was able to change this by open up nautilis from a terminal in root and change the permission on the whole drive to my current user so I can access the files, copy & delete the files. I wanted to change some music file information in Kynamo this morning and was not able to since all the individual files still belong to the root. How can I change this permission issue without having to change each individual file?

General :: Fedora 15 To Automount Media With Non-root Permissions?

Jun 13, 2011

I'm Ubuntu ex-fan (because of gnome-shell).

On Ubuntu, there was this very sane feature (for laptop/desktop user): when you insert a thumbdrive or external usb media, the system mounts the media and sets all the correct permissions for the current non-root logged in user.

What do I have to change/edit/configure to make Fedora 15 behave like this?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Permissions - Still Waiting For Root Device (OS X)

Jan 9, 2010

I installed ubuntu on my MacBook Pro, and now I get the infamous "still waiting for root device" when booting mac os x. I couldn't find any solutions that worked (macbook pros don't have a BIOS, or any drives that are easily removable). Anyway, so I have ubuntu working, and I need some files from OS X before I would consider reinstalling, etc. So I mounted the drive, went to users, etc. and it says that "I don't have the permissions necessary to view the contents of ****".

I did chmod 777 /media/os x/Users/* but that led to "Could not access: No such file or directory" (there's a space between os and x, I think it counts it as two commands or something and I can't rename the drive). Any way to give myself the permissions to access my files, or maybe just to copy over the whole hard drive to my main computer, or maybe somehow solve the "still waiting for root device".

Ubuntu :: File Permissions / Ownership - Even Root Cannot Change

Aug 30, 2010

I have been VERY lucky and managed to restore from a formatted ext3 /home/ partition. I used testdisk to reset the original partition which had had nothing done to it since formatting(!). However some of the file permissions are a altered and I cannot change them. I have tried "su chmod" and even temporarily enabled the root account itself and tried to alter the ownership/permissions from root 'proper' without it helping.

Here is an example of the output of ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 martyn martyn 4096 (date) (time) sponsors
?-----S--T 63231 92820383 44090688 4286824785 (date) (time) order.xls

The first line looks like a normally formed output and indeed is readable. The second line looks corrupted and I don't have a clue how I can reclaim this - or even if it is possible. Should I count my blessings most of my files are intact and leave those be?
