General :: Floppy File Permission \ Cannot Seem To Find One That Fits?
Feb 10, 2011
I've combed the prior posts for an answer but cannot seem to find one that fits.I have a half dozen imation super disks, 120 mb. I would really like to use them occasionally.I can't seem to format them to ext because of a permission issue. But I somehow think it is not a user permission problem but a disk issue.I have already done:
Code:
chown root:floppy /dev/fd0 && chmod 660 /dev/fd0 && adduser <username> floppy
checked to see that I was properly added as an user but when I tried:
I am having a Promise TX4650 RAID controller & trying to create a driver floppy for installing the drivers. Also am using RHEL 5, I can create the driver floppy, but when I type "mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy" I get error: "mount: mount point /media/floppy does not exist".Can I get the files in a format other than the ext2 floppy image, so that we do not need to use a floppy drive?There is a readme file inside the driver archive & you can use that as a reference.
/dev/fd0 does not exist. I have floppy disks I wish to use.m using debian unstable.Nautilus doesn't recognize it, nor does dolphin. I have no clue if the floppies are formatted or not.fdisk -l only sees sda, my hard drive.Floppies are so neat! I want to use them in linux.
I have a C-function that create a file and then make a copy in the same directory, but somethin is wrong with permission or owners.The program starts as root user.The file creates by the program:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 199680 Oct 18 10:58 test
Ok, but after copying the permission is not the same.The file after copying (with new name) by the program: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 199680 Oct 18 10:58 test_copy
I want to have full permission of the copy, how to do??
Is there something weird about the FLOPPY DRIVE on F12? Nothing associated with it works & I can't get an icon for it. Also the FLOPPY FORMATTER no longer works. (mine is an internal drive)- I had some really miner quirks with it in 10 but it worked. I had some workaround launchers that I used until an upgrade semi-fixed it. (It would give a false error that it couldn't run but did. I just ignored it.)
I tried to edit FSTAB to cure a problem of my BACKUP drive showing up twice*** so while I was in there I added the stuff for the floppy & it still doesn't work. If I try to mount it manually, I get the error that /dev/fd0 doesn't exist.I tried to find some info on it & it SEEMS that there MAY be a bug but I'm not sure as the info is a bit confusing as to just what version & such they are talking about. And there was also the problem that all the stuff seemed to be OLD or not related to my problem.I why I quite hacking at my system, is that all my workaround launchers & the formatter say that there are GNOME things missing & they can't run. So I figure that there is something missing or screwy already & that I'd better ask BEFORE I make things worse or actually break something.With the fact that floppies are about gone, it's getting to be not that big of a deal but I still find myself having to use them for repair purposes (albeit, not as much) & it gets to be a bit of a pain to fire up M$ just to do something like this.
*** It appears that the one in FSTAB was the one I needed, so where would the OTHER one be so I can get rid of it? Or at least make it auto mount.
I'm using ubuntu 11.04, I'm having some problem of ownership while sharing folder/files. to share i change the folder share option:1. Share this folder, then followed by 2.allow others to create and delete files in this folder3. guest access.Now if someone in my local network edit any file and save it, it gets locked. if some one copy their file in this folder the permission is marked as "no group" "no owner". and they get unaccessible to me. i tried doing chown <user> <folder> but it says Operation not permitted. Now how i can possibly share my folder on local network so that they can be edited by others without getting locked down , if they copy files i can able to modify them.

i have two different systems having centos and slackware OS's.when i mount files on centos system from server, i get all permission on files means(rwx),but when i execute same command on my slackware system, i get only read permission on file. i use mount -t cifs //serverip/sheetshare /root/Desktop/sheet/ -o username=abc,password=abc.
for example when i use the command list -l testp01.txt i get the result of testp01.txt file permission -rw- r-- r-- root root etc however i wonder where are those information written?
is there any special file which contains all of these information?
I am creating a DVD iso of the mentioned six .iso file using 'mkisofs' in CentOS. During the process, at about 12%, an error occurred. The error was that: "Cannot read from '/sys/firmware/acpi/namespace/ACPI/_SB/PCI0/P2P0/S4F0/eject'" I remembered setting all the permissions to "read and write" but I kept receiving the same error next time.
What are the possible problem when Windows access the file from Ubuntu got Read Only even though have a full permission to read, write and execute the file? Ubuntu to Ubuntu accessing the file there is no problem only Windows got a problem.
i have created a file (by root user) called test.txt. Then i created a user bob. Now i want only bob to read/write/execute this file and no other user shall have any permission on it.
I have a c file, and I want to open it but not in the terminal. After changing the permission, I tried: vi, pico, ed and vim. But, all open it in the terminal. How can I change the permission of that file to be opened and edited not in the terminal? When I change the permission from the terminal, it only let me edit it through the terminal, and when I check the permission of the file I see it as was it (no change). I need a permanent permission. Although, I command as a root.
I am trying to put a file from one linux machine to my other linux machine. There is absolutely no problem in downloading the file i.e. performing the "get" operation but when I try to upload or "put file" from my host1 to host2 it throws error "Error 0 Permission denied". I am able to put files from host2 to host1 without any problem but not from host1 to host. Infact if I try to tftp even localhost on host2 it throws the same error. Here is my
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp file for host2 service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -c -s /tftpboot #disable = yes disable = no per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 } And permissions on /tftpboot are 777 [root@LinuxServer /]# ls -ld /tftpboot/ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jan 6 05:21 /tftpboot/ [root@LinuxServer /]# ls -l /tftpboot/ total 16 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 6 06:16 new_test -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 5 06:02 test2
And the command which I am using is : [root@LinuxServer /]# tftp localhost -c put new_test Error code 0: Permission denied And ya here is /etc/sysconfig/selinux file is as under : # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - SELinux is fully disabled. SELINUX=permissive # SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are: # targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected. # strict - Full SELinux protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted
that works to disallow non-owners from renaming the file, but what I wouldlike to do is disallow EVERYONE ( including the owner of the file ) fromediting, moving, or changing the filename once it is created. the only personwho should be able to make those changes is a special user.
am new to linux and trying to find a file in sub directories using find command as:find .-name *.jpg -type fBut I am unable to get the result as find command is not permitted by the server administrator.Is there any way to find files without using find command.
I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. I want to make my grub menu look good and have set a beautiful background image to it and set the resolution so it fits the screen. Is it any way to resize the actual menu to make it smaller without shrinking the background picture?
I am attempting to make a backup copy of a file, but every time I try to copy the file, I get a "permission denied error -- even when running as root. The file is on a volume mounted as /media/Data . No problems reading/writing other files on the volume.
Here is the info on the file: -rw-------. 1 root MailServer.img
I've tried chown but get the permission denied as well. This is a virtual machine image that runs fine, but even with the VM completely shut down, I get the same error.
If I try the sudo mv command on the file listed below I get the error listed. I am confused. It is my file & I have permissions. Somehow a slew of files on my system are now showing this way. This seems to correspond when I ran rsync from my netbook to sync it up with my desktop where I am having a problem.
i want to set permission type "write" on a file to a particular user in a group of users ( not all users in that group). chown is changing a user to root , but i want to set say permission of "write" only to a user 1 in group staff which contains 10 users 1 , user 2 ...user 10.
I have virtualbox installed, and arch set up as the guest OS now i have made my home folder shared folder with the guest OS but at first my arch couldnt read my home folder.i realized the permission setting for the home folder is set as rwx to myself, and nothing to everyone else.so i chmod -R 755 to everything and that seemed to have solved the problem now i want to make my home folder readonly to my guest OS. do i just do chmod -R 744 to my home folder? i already messed up something when i set 644 to everything in my home folder, as my dropbox stopped working so im afraid of something like that happening to me again, otherwise i d love to experiment
another question is, are .so files supposed to be executable? I googled it, and it seems they dont have to be.But my dropbox stopped working after the .so files in /home/myhomefolder/.dropbox got assigned 644 D:
I have a directory called data. Then I am running a script under the user id 'robot'. robot writes to the data directory and update files inside. The idea is data is open for both me and robot to update.
So I setup the permission and owner group like this
drwxrwxr-x 2 me robot-grp 4096 Jun 11 20:50 data
where both me and robot belongs to the 'robot-grp'. I change the permission and the owner group recursively like the parent directory.
I regularly upload new files into the data directory using rsync. Unfortunately, new files uploaded does not inherit the parent directory's permission as I hope. Instead it looks like this
-rw-r--r-- 1 me users 6 Jun 11 20:50 new-file.txt
When robot tries to update new-file.txt, it fails due to lack of file permission.
I'm not sure if setting umask helps. In anycase the new files does not really follow it.
$ umask -S u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx
I'm often confounded by Unix file permission. Do I even have a right plan? I'm using Debian lenny.
