I can't store LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/profile. After restart the variable is empty. All OK with any other variable, for example INFORMIXDIR, but not with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If I use EXPORT command in the console all OK. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. What's wrong?
View 13 RepliesI have two students whose windows laptops are riddled with malware and not working properly. They want me to help them install Linux (which we use in school), but they are concerned about their iTunes.
Having avoided iPods as "defective by design", I know nothing about iTunes whatsoever. However I remember reading about DRM locking and such problems that have me concerned that I won't be able to do it.
Where does iTunes store its stuff?
Can I copy its data store to an external drive, and then into a linux home?
Then will it work on wine, or can another manager (rhythmbox etc) access the itunes data?
Alternatively, if I partition the drive and install linux, can rythmbox/wine/something access itunes data on the win partition?
Supposing they are buying music through iTunes, what will happen to that account?
Finally, one of them has an iphone. Does that work with linux?
Ironic that an apple application is blocking migration away from windows.
I already have LD_LIBRARY_PATH setup in my /etc/profile as:

This is related to http://superuser.com/questions/27376/why-does-my-ld-library-path-get-unset-launching-terminal, but a different set of symptoms.First, /usr/bin/screen is setuid as per the other question. Second, the default shell on this system is /bin/tcsh for various historical reasons, and we're not allowed to chsh to /bin/bash, so I typically run bash manually immediately after login. Third, I almost always use screen, but I want ctrl-a ctrl-c in screen to create a new bash "tab", so I always invoke bash first.
That is:
{~} $ echo $SHELL
/bin/tcsh

I installed the version of ClamAV that is provided by OpenSuse. The problem with that is that when a new version of ClamAV shows up I constantly get complaints when I run both freshclam and clamscan for at least three weeks when my version of ClamAV supplied by OpenSuse goes out of date. So I uninstalled the clamav OpenSuse provides using the GUI software control panel. Then I downloaded the source and the signature from ClamAV. It verified. I first tried to do a ./configure (as root) but it said I needed a clamav user. So I created:
Group: clamav (2001)
User: clamav (2001)
I picked the UID / GID to be that to avoid collisions with what ever you may have. After that the configure, make and install went fine. I then edited both the clamd.conf file and freshclam.conf files in /usr/local/etc. There was a bit of path confusion problem with the old freshclam and the new one so I did a ^D in my su'd xterm, and then su'd again. This time it showed the following for where things are:

I am using Firefox 1.5.0.9 in RHEL 5.0. I have a application which needs to load some jar files to the firefox browser, for which I am adding the path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in ~/.bashrc.The issue is when I launch the firefox through a shortcut, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unset, and it just sets it to Firefox specific libs.Additionaly if I run firefox through command line it sets it perfectly fine, and appends the Firefox libs to the already set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I recently installed a Slackware-13.1 32 bit system and I encountered an odd problem. I had a texlive-2010 package from slackbuilds.org, previously compiled on another 32 bit Slack-13.1 system. I just installed the precompiled package on the new system. However, whenever I tried to issue a latex command, kpathsea complained that it cannot find the shared library file libkpathsea.so.6. I googled a bit and I found that this could be circumvented by setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to "/usr/share/texmf/lib", where the library in question actually is.
This solved the problem. The weird thing is that on other machines I have installed, kpathsea had no issues whatsoever and I did not have to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The only difference is that on those systems I had compiled and installed texlive, not just installing a precompiled package. Could that be causing the issue?
How can i edit the environment file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a server application for ubuntu server, clients will connect to in through socket connection. It's in beta stage and under heavy development. At the moment lots of people are using it and it is updated almost every day. So I seed to seriously consider security issues and in the same time don't restrict myself too much. Now I have two questions:
Where is the appropriate place to store its files? Application consists of executable, some config files and startup script. But I don't want to spread it accross the filesystem just store in single folder for convenience since app is under heavy development. My guess would be to create new dir under /var. Right now I store it in my home folder.
Do I need to create separate user for it? I start it up using init.d script via sudo -u me. I want to restrict its access to system for security purposes but in the same time I want to be able to update it through FTP and not run into access issues (user that uploads it is different from user that runs it, and it sometimes need write access to some files). How to do that?

I've recently installed virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper on Linux Mint 10 LXDE. For convenience I've added the standard WORKON_HOME settings to my ~/.profile
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/Envs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
Then I've noticed that workon does not work after login, which means the above commands were not run. If I source ~/.profile then it works. I'm really not sure what could cause .profile not being run? I've checked and I don't have .bash_profile or .

View 3 Replies View RelatedA cluster with a head node and compute nodes. An application with a couple of env variables (App_HOME, PATH) set in .profile (default shell sh). If I login to the head node/compute nodes on a terminal everything works fine. The correct env variables are set and the application works. However, when my application tries to do it, say ssh <compute node1> <application>, it appears the environment variables are not available. It only looks in the minimal /bin, /usr/bin type PATH. This tells that the .profile is not being read

Aborting...
Though, I also get this error for any other directory I try in. When trying with 'sudo' I am told that it is a "bad idea." I have never used makepkg before, so whatever is wrong might be obvious; I have never "fine-tined" my makepkg.conf before, either. Probably not relevant, but just in case: easy-e17 is a group of files from the Arch User Repository for installing Enlightenment (DR17). Perhaps there is something I need to install in order to make packages from the AUR? Or does that sound ridiculous? I wouldn't know.
organizing where I put source directories:
1) Is there any convention or best practice as to where to store source tars for packages that you have to build yourself, as well as for where to store the source directories that are extracted (the ones containing the generated Makefile)? I'm getting to a point where there are tars and source directories all over my home directory and elsewhere, and it's becoming disorganized very quickly.
2) Are the entire source directories needed to be kept around, or could simply the Makefile be enough to perform a 'make uninstall' if necessary?
3) Is there any problem with moving around the source folders after a package has been built and installed? Meaning if I install a package, move the source directory, then do a 'make uninstall' from that new location, would it successfully remove the package?
4) Now that I think about it is there any reason to keep around the tars after installing a package? As long as you have the source directory, what point would there be?
