I like to redirect the print output to a file for later analysis and I was able to do this in an old Fedora 9 but with the new installation of Fedora 13 or Ubuntu 10 it is not working! I always get an error when selecting a directory/filename like file:///tmp/output.prn.
How can I fix this problem?
I was doing a tutorial on scripting in bash. I saved my file on the desktop and I cannot seem to get to that file to execute it. Here is what I have been using:
I try cd Desktop says that there is no such directory.
I tried /home/me/Desktop same thing.

View 5 Replies View Relatedon my Fedora test server, there is a webdev group for all developers and the files under /var/www are owned by apache:webdev. Each developer is set up per normal, with each getting his/her own entry in /etc/group, then I add them to the webdev group (all from the command line). Things seemed OK, but when I edited a file as me the other day and updated it via scp, the ownership and group changed to that of my user, preventing a second dev from updating it later. How can I make sure that the file remains editable by all in the webdev group regardless of who updates it? Since it's a test server, the permissions are fairly loose at 775.

I first installed linux as ubuntu version 9.04 straight off of a Computer Active CD and liked it so started to delve into file permissions and authorisations, simple stuff I suppose just so I could feel my way around things for a while. Using the built in Ubuntu software centre I downloaded and installed a prog which handles authorisations and I found that very helpful but then through the update manager I installed the latest distribution update (9.10) and now find that the authorisation software only lists a couple of things that I can get to and consequently every time I mount one of my hard disks I'm asked for my admin password even though I am logged in as administrator which is a hassle,
a small one but there all the same, as a newbie I realise it must be me not understanding something but I just dont know what, also in the previous version right clicking on the logging out panel gave you an option to remove the 60 second shutdown or restart delay and that has disappeared in the new version, again its really only just a nuisance thing but I find that sorting out this sort of thing will help me to understand the system
I created a folder structure as root and now need to transfer ownership to an ordinary user.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was having a discussion with someone who asked me whether a Linux OS has to be rebooted when the hosts file is modified. From personal experience, on Windows I change the file but don't reboot and I've seen others do the same thing. I assume Linux has no exception(s), but is there any reason why a reboot is not required (to at least justify my actions)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a really strange problem. I have a few files in a large directory that I want to make readable by everyone. So I try this:
sudo find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec chmod +r {} ;
and get this:
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/find: Success
I don't know why it says Success, because the permissions were not changed. I verified by typing this:
find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec ls -l {} ;
and get something like
-rw------- 1 root root 536871076 Nov 22 14:06 readme_20101122200429
-rw------- 1 root root 536871892 Nov 22 14:08 readme_20101122200642
-rw------- 1 root root 293458128 Nov 22 14:10 readme_20101122200859
as a last resort, I tried:
sudo chmod +r *
and got:
sudo: unable to execute /bin/chmod: Success
and again Success really means fail. So, I gave up and logged in as root and tried:
find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec chmod +r {} ;
This time it worked. Why?
EDIT: /etc/sudoers looks like:
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
##Me
user1 ALL=(ALL) ALL
What is the most primitive way to output a file to the printer? I mean data transfer from the file to the printer. I suppose it must be 'cp some_file /dev/<printer device>. For the console, I know the devices are /dev/ttyN, N= 1,2,... But I do not know what are the devices for the printer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedTwo users on both Ubuntu server and Windows 7. Both users admins on Windows. Used SWAT to set up Samba. Printer is local to Ubuntu server. User A can access both file share and printer on Ubuntu server from Windows. User B can access the file share but can only see the printer, not use it. Have looked everywhere I can think of to find out why one user has access and the other doesn't on both Windows side and Ubuntu side. As far as I can tell, they are set up the same. Can anyone provide some direction on what I should look at to find out what might be preventing User B from being authorized to use the printer on Ubuntu?
