General :: Sticky Situation Bcos Of Sticky Bit
Feb 21, 2011
Situation is that there are two users on a Linux server- say A and B.A has been operating a shell script that in turn makes use of and exe file.The script and exe both are owned by user A.My problem is that I want user B to make use of the script and exe in exactly the same way user A does.So I have set suid bit of the script, exe and all the library files that the exe uses.But the exe is still not executing from user B.I did a man of chmod on Linux server and it gave an indication that SUID is disabled on new Linux servers.Now the question is, is there any other command that can perform the same task as SUID did on Unix.

I have created a user smith by
Code:
[root@localhost ~]#useradd smith
and then create a group marketing
Code:
[root@localhost ~]#useradd marketing
I want that even if the root will crtae a file or directory it will fall into group marketing.For that purpose I use sticky bit.
Code:
[root@localhost ~]#chmod g+s marketing
cmod:failed to get attributes of marketing' :No such file or directory

How does Compiz automatically decide which windows should be sticky (i.e. should be visible on all workspaces)? Windows such as gnome-panel and cairo-dock always stay on the visible workspace, without requiring additional configuration. How does Compiz figure this out?

I have a folder that contains my group's website. The ownership of the entire directory is set to "www-data.website" (website being a group). I want to set the sticky bit on this directory such that if anyone creates a new file, either in the main directory or subdirectories, the ownership remains like above.
Q1: I have the sticky bit set on the main directory (drwxrwsr-x). But for some reason, some of the subdirectories don't have the sticky bit set. Is there a command I can use to change the sticky bit on Directories Only (i.e., not on the files)?
Q2: Is there a sticky bit that I can set for the ownership (not group) so that it is always set to www-data?

Does anyone else have a resource monitor appearing on their KDE desktop? My is in the upper-right corner, and lies on top of all other windows. I can work with windows beneath it alright, but it is always showing.
The resource monitor is always translucent, and appears to have some sort of vertical "thermometer"-style usage scale on its left side. Beside that are two scrolling graphs. The only text/label appears to be a percentage that matches the thermometer bar, but there is nothing to tell me what resources are being monitored. Regardless, I use other resource monitoring software and I do not want this one on my desktop.

I just installed F13, and many things have changed (was using FC4!). When I restart my network, my NIC card does not come back up with the correct info, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. Here is the NIC info for eth2 when things are correct [Replaced the MAC address due to paranoia, but it's correct on my machine]:
Code:
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::baac:6fff:fe8e:57d2/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
[code]....
Here is the cfg file:
Code:
# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
DEVICE=eth2

I have chosen to use automatic login. But every now and then I am asked for username and password when the computer boots. When I do get automatically login the screen resolution is changed to 800 x 600 instead of 1280 x 1024. How do I get those two (resolution and log in) settings sticky?

TO the sticky: My wireless doesn't work - a primer on what I should do next Section 2 b) I guess it would be easier for the user if she/he would just use one command instead of /sbin/lspci and than /sbin/lspci -n and compare both outputs to find the right section that inhales the hexadecimal numeric IDs for the wireless LAN/wireless/WLAN/bluetooth/..What do you (all and especially the sticky's author, dear Larry Finger) think of alternatives like:

After spending more than an hour searching the Web for an answer I've decided to resort to the help of my favourite forum. I run KDE 4.2.4 on Linux Mint 7. In the past (in KDE 3) I found "Enable sticky switching" option of kxkb very useful, but for some reason it's missing in this version. I wonder therefore if there is a way to enable it manually.

I started using gnome sticky notes along with the Compiz widget layer in Ubuntu 10.04. The problem I'm having is that word wrap on the sticky notes is hit-or-miss. Most of the time the notes will automatically stretch horizontally (even beyond the size of a workspace) rather than break at its current window size. The only other problem I've noticed is that if I right-click on the title of a note, the resulting menu doesn't display correctly (it's looks like a line).Should I reinstall the package it belongs to?

We have 2 HTTP Load balancer with HAproxy and heartbeat. There are 4 nodes in this cluster. It's doing round robin load balancing. The HTTP cluster working fine. We are having problem with our portal because it uses SSO. We need sticky connection support in our HAproxy. Also we need load balancing for HTTPS traffic. Here's our HAproxy conf file.

I am looking to install a c++ compiler. I run 11.4, and was told to look in the Software Manager for easy installation. I have no repositories installed, as the repositories in the Application sticky only applied to Suse installations through 11.3. I found the package "gcc45-c++" (Version Number 4.5.1_20...208-9.8) when I searched the Software Manager. I proceeded to install it, and had no problems, but when I looked in "applications", the compiler was not there. I'm aware that I may be revealing some great ignorance here, so I'll ask, should gcc appear? If not, how do I execute the program?

after managing to install ubuntu onto a Samsung n220 netbook, when I boot up im presented with just a black screen. I have tried to follow the sticky [URL] but I am slightly lost. I can press CTRL ALT F1 and get a login prompt - tty1. The commands from the sticky do not seem to work or do anything, and certain ones listed come back with a "Command not found" error.

I have tried the tips, and to the best of my ability understand the later posts from the sticky post "Graphics Resolution" however I seem to keep reverting back to the blank screen. I did this:
Quote: ATI TIPS: Note that some ATI cards need flgrlx and some do not... If not then this workaround sometimes works: (Found this in another thread / credit to Quote: Originally Posted by surgus View Post

1. When the boot hangs, press ctrl+alt+f1.
2. Login as user with root privileges.
3. Type "cd /usr/share/ati" and press enter.
4. Type "sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh" and press enter.
5. Type "sudo reboot".
The above only works for some but not all, depending on what card you have and whether it actually is supported by additional drivers (proprietary). All at the moment, mostl seem to need "nomodeset radeon mode=X", where x= 0 or 1... Some ATI cards are not working with the current natty kernel, but are working with the older 2.6.37 kernel or the proposed 2.6,38.9 kerne (please see post 2)l Sometimes (rarely) it'll work but more often it won't, and in the two times it's worked I haven't known how to get it to remember the setting permanently- keep in mind I have no idea what that last paragraph about x= 0 or 1 means.

I just upgraded to OOo v3.3.0, but it feels more like a downgrade; a real disappointment. In my previous version, I could choose 'Tab' in the 'Paste special' dialog and the choice would stick between pastings as well as between sessions. No longer so. In v3.3.0 I have to tick 'Tab' and 'Detect special numbers' each and every time I paste something. I am working with OOo all day and this regression is tiresome, to say the least. So, I am wondering whether there is a way to make the choices sticky? If not, I shall have to go back to the previous version, or perhaps try out LibreOffice.

I don't know when it started, but my Wacom stylus clicks haven't been working right. It seems to do the "click down" correctly, but hasn't always been doing the "click up" when I release the pressure on my stylus. This leads to a bunch of problems when Ubuntu thinks I'm holding down the mouse button, when in reality I'm not holding anything down.I have an older Wacom GD (Intuos 1) USB tablet. I finally figured out how to fix the problem tonight. Here is what I did:1) Determine that "name" of the tablet:lsusb | grep -i wacomBus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:0022 Wacom Co., Ltd Intuos 9x12So in my case, I'm dealing with an Intuos 9x12 tablet. This becomes important at step #3.
2) Edit the right xorg.conf file:
cd /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
sudo gedit 50-wacom.conf3) At the end of this file, add the following block:

I've had a fair share of experience with Unix, but am humble and didn't see a better place to put this.
Bear with me here:
I am in a situation where I will be without owning a computer for a while. I have a 16GB SDHC which uses very little space for music/photos/game-saves and I wanted to use it along with a USB card reader to boot into a Live USB distro. I've tested with Ubuntu flavors and things work great. But after doing some reading, I found that the constant read and write is hard on any flash drive (not to my surprise).
I have decided to use a LiveCD instead, and see if I can allow persistence on my USB/SDHC setup instead. I absolutely need to virtualize a Windows XP machine within the Linux distro and be able to save some stuff.
For starters, what is the best distro for me? I'll be using it mostly for programming and the shell, so a fancy desktop isn't really needed (but man does Ubuntu look nice). I'm just making sure I can install and run programs from an SDHC in the way that I want.

Server (LVM):
500GB
320GB
I want to install a new 500GB and remove the 320GB, of course moving the data on the 320GB to the new 500GB. I have an external 1TB in enclosure that I can plug in to move the data over, but how do I move only the data on the 320GB to it?? I found this [URL]. But that is only to move the data to a new replacement disk, but my external is only temporary to move the data from the 320GB until I remove it+install 500GB, then move the data back. Not enough space on the 500GB already on server to move everything from 320GB to it, just in case that seemed the obvious thing to do.

I had serious problem with recording from tv via tvcard. My new distribution is Fedora 13 and the recording program is mencoder. The tvcard is Pinacle 110i. I recorded without problem when ripping from dvd, but when I tried to record from tv, I becam the answer: no /dev/dsp ... cannot open the demuxer. First I thinked that the problem cam from alsa settings, so I searched a while about this. And I didn't found alsaconf, like in Mandriva.So, after searching, I found the solution.
1. As root, issue the command
#modprobe saa7134 card=77 tuner=54
#modprobe saa7134-alsa

I need to install ubuntu or edubuntu (preferably) on an older computer (256 ram) whose cd rom is shot, but the USB ports work! The family has 2 kids and the parents are very computer illiterate and know NO English. The kids' future is dependent on learning English. The grandfather is illiterate in his language! They are not down and out people, but they could use some help, if you know what I mean! I do have an external DVDRW drive and 2 computers where Ubuntu Maverick and Lucid have been installed. I will be about 300 km from them to give support. I have 2 days Monday to Wednesday next week to install Ubuntu or edubuntu.
I read on the internet 3 solutions, one of them offering a USB fix, which I am not 100% clear on: [URL] I do not know how to program and am far more comfortable around a GUI, even though I sometimes venture off using the terminal (albeit, copying and pasting codes that other provides and that often I only get half the meaning of). The USB stick option seems to be one of the best solution at this time because I have tested it in the past! The computer has suddenly crashed (I had installed Windows in a multiple user/password mode), but one of the kids (older) was using games from friends' usbs (maybe full of virii)! Maybe the crash is a hardware crash as surges are common in the area. (I will be able to check for that using some kind of software if I can boot the comp.) After installing Ubuntu succesfully on two more recent computers already, I think Ubuntu or edubuntu might be the best solution for this situation. I am also 300 KM from being able to help out these people!
I have a few questions at this time. If the option of basically using one computer's image (ubuntu Maverick) that I have installed with all the packages that come with it (solution 1) is a viable one, how am I going to deal with the difference in hardware between the two computers. DOn't they need "drivers" and packages related to these specific components? Could I use the external dvd drive? If so, how can I get the old computer to recognize it. Assuming I can make it work again, would I need to download (beforehand) the windows drivers/files needed? Install them which might help if I want to use it to install the ISO image. I am not thinking about a dual boot since space is an issue and windows is a bad option anyway (virii).

I did a NMAP on a 10.4 desktop system. Found tcp wrapper on my system with an open port. Again I do not run a server. etc/host-deny and etc/host-allow contain no active elements. I know tcp wrapper as a great tool to secure a server. Closing the port with ufw gives no result, tcp wrapper still show up.
