May 12, 2010I have a java program that needs to be launched with root privileges (from an account that doesn't have root privileges) from a desktop shortcut. The command would look something like this: java -jar /file/location/whatever.jar I've searched and searched and can't figure out how to do this. EDIT*** I would like it to pop up and ask for the root password before it launches the application.

Jan 20, 2011want to run VirtualBox with root permissions. Trouble is that only when run as root i can access attached USB devices inside of a virtual machine, otherwise, these a greyed out).Now running VirtualBox as a root user also changes the configuration folders, making all my virtual machines already defined disappear. I also don't want to copy all to the root configuration folders. Is there a way to give the VirtualBox root permissions but without actually running the application as a root user. Is it possible to do without changing the permissions of the non-root user, i.e. i don't want my user to have all root permissions, due to security considerations.

Fedora Installation :: Make Root Partition For 12 X86_64
May 14, 2010Recently I tried to install Fedora 12 x86_64 to my laptop. I ran the live fedora image from my cooldisk and then pressed "Install to Hard Drive" from live desktop. Then I went forward until I reached the partitioning section. Though I had ~28GB free space in my Harddrive, but it says: "Could not allocate requested partitions: not enough free space on disks." You can see my steps until reaching this problem in these 3
pics:
step1:
step2:
step3:
I captured these steps by using Fedora 12 Live printscreen tool. I tried to install Fedora12 from its non-bootable DVD too, but no difference! So there's only 2 situations:
1. I did something wrong -> install Fedora and use its partitioning tool.
2. There's a bug in Fedora -> confirm that this is a bug and say me an alternative way to install fedora.
Fedora Security :: Make The Root File System Read-only

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Make A Shell Script Run With Root AND Non-root Priveledges?
Jul 28, 2010I have a bit of a dilemma.
I'm using XFCE and it doesn't by default lock the screen before hibernating. I see this as a bit of a security risk, and as I can't hibernate while the screen is locked, I'm a bit lost as to how to achieve this.
I've begun editing /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh, here's what I have so far code...
If I run with sudo, the system hibernates, but gnome-screensaver will not fire. I can verify this by trying "sudo gnome-screensaver-command --lock". The screen goes black, but is not locked. The screen locks properly without sudo.
So the only solution I can see is to edit /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh in such a way that gnome-screensaver-command runs under the current user, and pm-hibernate is called as root.
Also, when I click the HIBERNATE button in XFCE, how does it call pm-hibernate under root without prompting me for a password? I normally wouldn't be interested in such things, but as it seems relevant to my problem I'm a little more eager to learn
Fedora X86/64bit :: User That Can Only Make The Sound Card Work On A F10 X86_64 System Is Root
May 4, 2009The only user that can make the sound card work on a F10 x86_64 system is root. For non root users, I am not seeing any error messages when a app tries to use/access the sound card, just nothing plays. As I said, for root everything works as expected. I am sure this is a permission/setup issue, but I have no idea where to start.

Jun 27, 2010I tried to create a shortcut to an app I wanted in the plasma dashboard. When I did so, I found that it was owned by root! When I looked at the permissions of the other app icons, they were owned by me, the user.Why did plasma make my newly created app launcher owned by root?I'm so used to the way KDE 3 worked. It was so much simpler. I could click anywhere on that desktop to add shortcuts and they were owned by me, not root. I don't understand why they changed this.

Oct 14, 2010I want to make specific keymaps for application, that working only in it and doesn't affect other apps.

Looks like xmodmap doesn't have any options related to that.
Ubuntu :: Make Application Load In One Monitor?
May 10, 2010I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, and am amazed how well everything is working, even on my dual-monitor setup! But, I also have a problem with said setup. I downloaded and installed the XBMC media center, but whenever I open up the application, it displays across both monitors. Since my two monitors are of different sizes and at different heights, it looks really bad. Is there a way to always force it to load on just one monitor?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Application To Backup Root Partition Prior To Tumbleweed
Mar 21, 2011On my main work machine I have openSUSE 11.4 standard KDE on two partitions, standard root and standard /home. I'm going to add the Tumbleweed repos and follow the evolution of openSUSE until 11.5/12.0 is released.
But I cannot afford to have my main work machine off the air. So I want to back up the root parttiion each time I go a major upgrade from the Tumbleweed repos.
So I thought I would just image the root partition in compressed/reduced form to a USB drive prior to updating.
First I looked at Partimage but it doesn't do the EXT4 filesystem.
Second I thought about Clonezilla but it doesn't allow compression (it states that the target for the image must be at least as big as the source partition); thus DD is just as limited.
Third I looked at the System backup and restore facility in Yast but it seems to be undocumented (i.e. I can't find it.)
Then I thought why not just use cp because the root filesystem of 11.4 for me is only occupying 6Gb ATM. I propose to use "cp -a -u -v" from a live CD to copy the root files to a USB drive with an EXT4 partition.
So two questions:is there a flaw in backing up the system/root with "cp -a -u -v"
is there a better imaging software for a small job like this
Debian :: Iceweasel Hangs When Launched Sometimes?
Jan 11, 2011I am running Squeeze (Gnome desktop) and I'm experiencing some problems with Iceweasel. My problem is that sometimes Iceweasel just hangs when I launch it. I can see the cursor blinking 2-3 times in the adress bar and then it just locks up. I have tried a few different versions of iceweasel, both from stable (squeeze though), experimental and now a package from http://mozilla.debian.net/packages/ with iceweasel 4 beta.
All of them behaves the same way. They work for a while and then suddenly locks up when launched. The only way to get going again is to kill the process and delete the .mozilla directory. It is possible to launch the --safe-mode though but nothing with this mode lets me change anything to get a normal session going.' Also, it doesn't matter if I have extensions installed or not, it still behaves the same way with zero of them installed. How would I go about to debug this? If I launch iceweasel from the command line I get no output but I'm sure there is a way to get some more info to work with.
