Fedora :: Can't Change The Permissions (belongs To Root)?

Oct 29, 2009

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.

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 :: Change ORDER Of Groups One Belongs To?

May 10, 2010

I'm currently using an NFS server to share data on our small business network. It works a bit faster than SAMBA, but I do have a problem. NFS takes group id from the first 16 groups a member belongs to when mounted - let's not get into how that doesn't make huge amount of sense

Since I assigned about 6 different groups to our users internally to control directory access, some internal groups do not pass when mounting the server's files (as ubuntu has at least 8 or so groups that are system dependent). Is there a way to change the ORDER of the groups a user belongs to? I see that what gets passed to NFS mount follows exactly the order given when I type "group" when logged in. The groups do not come in alphabetical order or group ID number. I did try changing the order of entries in /etc/group and that also doesn't do anything. Essentially they seem completely random.

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

OpenSUSE :: Can't Change File Permissions As Root

Sep 25, 2010

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 :: 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?

Fedora :: Determine Which Process Belongs To Which Window In System Monitor?

Feb 26, 2011

I have Fedora Linux 13 64bit system. I use System Monitor to check which process is taking how much memory and cpu. Normally I have dozens of Chrome and Firefox windows open. The Processes tab shows which process is taking how much cpu/ram resources but I unfortunately there is no option like right click and make the window active that matches the PID (the one process that I have currently highlighted). Usually there is a chrome process taking up 30 or 40 percent of CPU while dozens other chrome processes taking much less cpu. I must determine which chrome window ( or any application which has multiple instances running) is taking that much CPU time. So can some one help me to solve this problem?

Fedora :: Can't Change Permissions

Apr 29, 2010

I'm trying to change the permission of /media/external which is my external HDD that I want to share with read/write rights over LAN. Tried both Nautilus and chmod as simple user and as root to no avail. Permissions keep reverting back to default.
I have a feeling that Linux for security reasons does not allow me to share the top directory of a device... As any way to work around this?

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?

Fedora :: Change Permissions On NTFS Partition?

Jan 24, 2011

I have an NTFS partition that I use to swap file back and forth between Vista and F13. I store school files in there, like documents and text files. When I use Nautilus to access the partition, I am always asked for my root password. This is a little annoying. Is there anyway I can keep this from happening?

I have my Windows partition set up to auto mount with fstab. I can access it fine in the command line and launchers that I created with out the root password. I suppose I could do the same for this partition, but I would like to access it directly with Nautilus if it is possible.

Fedora :: Change Permissions Of Logical Volume (dual Boot)?

Jul 16, 2011

I have a Fedora 15/Ubuntu 11.04 dual boot. In Fedora, I just created a new logical volume. How do I ensure that anything I put in it - all files and folders - will be accessible in Ubuntu? II also want to be able to add files and folders in Ubuntu and then read and write them in Fedora...

Here's the output from "lvdisplay" for the logical volume in question:
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/fedora/Everything
VG Name fedora

[Code]....

/home/gwyn/Everything is the mount point for the logical volume. I got full access over all files in the LV.

But when I shutdown Fedora and start up Ubuntu, I have to run the same chmod command again. How can I make read/write permissions endure between both distros?

Ubuntu :: Change File Permissions To Change Background Screen?

Feb 21, 2010

I'm new to Ubuntu Linux but have many years on windows platform. Please can someone help me with how to change the following items.

No.1 I would like to change the HORRIBLE!! YAK!! brown background color behind the word Ubuntu in the start up screen when the machine loads up (before the login). I have located the image file for this which I have found to be: /usr/share/images/xsplash/bg_2560x1600. jpg but the OS says that root is the owner and that I don't have permission to change this. So how can I change this for a color I do like.

No.2 I would also like to change the login dialogue screen style. I know this is possible but again I'm fumbling to see how I can do this. I have tried with the start up manager but every attempt fails, the settings don't take. Once again I suspect permissions are at the bottom of the problem?

No.3 Would like to have a colorful splash screen image on boot up, I've managed to remove the old one (small white 3 ring ubuntu logo on black background) but havent been able to install or replace with a new one. Its been incredibly frustrating, I'm feel sure I'm missing something simple here. Wondering if its permissions yet again?

Anyone who can offer help on any of the above, guidance or advise me would be much appreciated. Please bear in mind that I'm still very much feeling my way with Linux so keep it simple.

Fedora :: Can't Change The Root Password

Jul 30, 2009

I got during my last year of high school, and I recently installed Fedora 11. During the installation, I misunderstood one of the questions, and set my root password as what I wanted my account password. I want to go in and change it, because it's pretty easy to figure out and has me feeling really vulnerable, but it won't let me. I went to System-Administration-Root Password, entered my password, and put in a new one, but it won't let me click Change Root Password. The button is faded out and unclickable. I've tried several different passwords, and triple-checked each to make sure I typed it in correctly, but it won't work.
