General :: Assigning Admin Rights To Apps?
Sep 30, 2010
I am using linux mint and have installed Netbeans on it but whenever I run netbeans from accounts other than root it throws an error for not having permission to start glassfish server of netbeans. I also tried running this application using run as administrator option but then the application does not start.
So is there a way to assign netbeans admin rights permanently so that whenever I start this application from other accounts I should not face this error?

I would like to install a more modern version of GNU utils (coreutils) on a debian linux system where I have no admin rights. Is there a way to do that?
The rationale is that I need a more modern version to the one installed in the system where I intend to run my analysis. I am trying to use "sort -R" or "shuf" to randomize lines in a big text file.

I am only user on this ubuntu 10.10 install. I have admin rights but when I try to change some settings via Ubuntu tweak unlock or alter user and groups via advanced tab I never get the option to enter my password. I have added a new user 'tempuser' via safe mode and this user is administrator too but everything works fine from this user..
Results from $ grep admin /etc/group
lpadmin:105:heath,tempuser
admin:119:firstuser,tempuser,heath
Results from groups
admin adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin sambashare
I am thinking of making a fresh install if I cant sort this but would like to fix if possible.

I've got a Dell laptop with a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 7, but I want windows 7 to be the default OS. I can't seem to find anything on Ubuntu with any information. I had a look at some forums and it said I need to go into admin, but I don't think I have it. Does anyone know how to get Admin rights and how to change the default OS?

I have moved to a new place and they expect me to work without root access to my machine, but I need to compile and make some software. However I get the following error:
mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/ope': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access '/usr/local/ope': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/ope': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/usr/local/ope/bin': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [/usr/local/ope/bin] Error 1
make[1]: Target '_installall' not remade because of errors.
I have been allegedly been given admin rights - but do I need root to do this?

I am semi new to linux and i was getting the hang of it until just recently. I'm trying to do some web design using php and mysql. In my reference material (the all in one desktop reference {for dummies}). At some point I needed to do something in /var/www but I ran into a permissions problem so I typed:
Code:
chgrp -v -r guy0203 /var/www
405 chgrp -v -R guy0203 /var/www
406 chown -v -R guy0203 /var/www
Afterwards in some subsequent step it suggested putting the files in /usr/src/mysql. Since I didn't have that folder I used mkdir and created it. Then I tried adding the files I needed to that folder and got denied on the grounds of not having permissions once again. So tried something like this:
Code:
451 chmod 777 /usr/
452 sudochmod 777 /usr/
453 sudo chmod 777 /usr/
It was a 755 originally but I couldn't copy those commands. It turns out as that I had two terminals open in different desktops. one of them was a root terminal. It was at this point that realized that I was in that root terminal and decided I was done 'learning' for the day. I decided to listen to some music (which is located in my windows partion) and ran into a problem. The prompt that pops up to normally asks me for my admin PW to mount the drive. Now just vibrates like an incorrect entry was received, says authentication error and says I am not authorized to mount that drive then I went back to terminal to fix it, and when I tried to elevate myself to SU:
I got this:
Code:
guy0203@guy0203-laptop:~$ sudo su
sudo: must be setuid root
guy0203@guy0203-laptop:~$
I don't know what to do now but I think I totally killed this OS. If so is there anyway to save things if I have to reinstall?

I have OpenVPN setup and running on my home server (Lucid Lynx). I move around alot and use Portable OpenVPN to connect to my home server. The problem is a lot of the computers I use I do not have admin rights to install the necessary routes to connect. So my question is this. Can OpenVPN be configured to use PPTP protocol? Because I have PortableVPN on my U3 flash drive and that VPN client does not need admin rights to run. If OpenVPN cannot do this, and from my understanding of its archetecture it cannot, but I must admit i am no authority on the matter. Can you suggest a workable solution, ie. install and setup this server software and use this portable client software.

I'm having a bit of a problem after joining Ubuntu 9.04 to my company's Windows Domain. I can log in and use sudo just fine but I don't have access to certain things in my menu (i.e. "Add/Remove Software") and I can't open the User Manager. I manually edited the /etc/group file as root and added my username (username@domain) to the appropriate groups but still no luck.

One of the feature in my application involve changing of hardware setting. This require the user to be root or have administrative right.Before my application enable that feature, I want it to check whether the user is "root" or not, or whether user use "sudo" command to run the application or not, or whether the user has administrative rights or not.What are the codes or library that can do this?
NOTE: Sometimes, advanced linux user may set the user id of root to something else other than 0. So, getuid() may not be helpful in this case.

I'm a new Ubuntu user and a Python programmer, it's the first time that I use Python in Ubuntu so it's a bit confusing me. If I want to save a Module or something in a specified map, I get 'Errno 13', it says that I don't have permission to edit, do thing in that map. And this is also for importing files with Python. I logged in from Terminal with 'sudo -i' and closed Terminal, but the problem keeps repeating. How do I login as Admin or Root and stay as Admin or Root? I need right to edit/read files as well as root and normal user.
An example:
Python file:
test.py ->
test = open('/a.txt', 'w')
test.write('Test - Test - Test')
test.close
When I execute this, I get in the Python IDLE the 'Errno 13' problem and below the 'Errno 13' it says that I don't have permission. Who know how to stay logged in as root, even if the user has not logged in or isn't this possible, if it isn't then I just want to get files moving, editing/erasing etc.

I'm trying to mount a USB key in a RHEL5 box to upload some file. I found doc online and followed it and mounted it fine the first time. Then I unplugged it and found that I have another file to upload so I plugged it back in. However this time it's not assigned a partition (last time was sdb1) and I can't mount it anymore. I think the USB key is recognized and the driver is installed properly:

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 (in the classic mode)Whenever I double-click my sqldeveloper.sh file, it gives weird errors. When I did :Code:sh /home/uer/Softwares/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh on the terminal, the program started up. So, I went to the "open with" on the shell file, "Select custom command" and typed the above, but nothing happened. What should I type as the custom command ?

How would I do this? First part of the thread title is because I'm not sure if the install of Debian Squeeze would even detect the Start key. (Btw, is there a small enough sticker of the GNOME logo I could buy and put over the Windows logo? )
I read this thread: [URL] but I'm confused about what linmix is saying. Is there a way to get the power key to do the equivalent of what it would in Windows?
I don't find this an essential task, but it would make life a lot easier.
Edit: I mean Super Key not Power.

Under Linux, I would like to be able to launch anything from command line in a "safe" environment, i.e. be assured that it can't read or write any file on my computer, and even better if it couldn't access the network.I thought about creating a user with reading rights only in the current folder (and nowhere else), and su to this user to launch the command, would this work ? And what about the network ?

On my Debian server I installed Samba for sharing directories in my local network. I know how to set access rights but I have a problem. I would like to allow an user (example "nobody") to create files or directories in a shared directory but to deny to modify or delete something.How can I do that?Second question, on a file, I know that we can set rights for "u", "g" and "o". But like the NTFS permissions, can we apply rights for each users?

How that can be done in linux?
