OpenSUSE Install :: /tmp Permissions Failures In 11.3
Jul 20, 2010
At first log-in as user all was fine yesterday. Today I must have rebooted for the first time because it was all different. I tried to log-in to KDE this morning and it failed with some weird error messages that don't repeat here. It seems it all boils down to the fact that the /tmp folder has the wrong permissions. Whatever I try it always has the permission 755.
It is an encrypted /tmp permission mounted in fstab like this:
Code:
/dev/mapper/cr_sda2 /tmp ext4 acl,user_xattr,nofail 0 0
I can login as root in failsafe and look at the tmp folder:
Code:
ls -h |grep tmp
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K Jul 20 12:26 tmp
So the wrong permissions. How to solve this?
I tried to go into rescue mode and change the permissions of the folder, but nothing helps. In rescue mode it is like it is in my OS 11.2 on another computer:
Code:
drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 4.0K Jul 20 12:26 tmp
A temporal work around is to change de permission as root and then I can login, but how to get the permissions right at boot up? What is wrong?

I tried ubuntu for a few weeks, but I couldn't get the nvidia drivers to work, I tried everything. So, I got sick of that, and went to download OpenSuse, which seems to be even nicer (..... ) I downloaded the 11.1 liveCD (gnome) from here. I nicley got the welcome screen, and the option screen (liveCD, check errors etc.). I chose LiveCD and it started booting, I got the splash screen with the loading bar, and after it completely loaded, the screen turns black with a lot of messages and at the end:
Code:
GdmLocalDisplayFactory: Maximum number of X display failures reached: Check X server log for errors.
Great, I hoped for better luck after Ubuntu..

I have set a scratch directory for Apache HTTPd writable by everybody.
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 2 wwwrun www 4096 11-24 22:28 /tmp/www
Code:
Alias /scratch "/tmp/www"
<Directory /tmp/www>

The request is reported in the access log but the error is not reported in the error log!
Even after I set LogLevel to debug!

So far I've been able to get Samba to connect to the my WORKGROUP and I can see my Vista PC as well as my 3 hdd's but when I try and open the folder, any folder, C$; D$; or E$ I'm confronted with a user name and
password prompt. No user name or password combination that's associated with either machine, openSUSE or Vista will grant me access. Why am I seeing this prompt and what I would really like to know is can it be
disabled all together? Otherwise, what user name and password does Suse want? Do I need to tell Suse in a terminal a user name and password?

At 2:20AM /dev/null's permissions are changing to a restrictive setting that allows root access but not normal user access.
I am not seeing anything obvious in cron or /etc/permissions* or /etc/udev. And
# udevadm info --path=/dev/null

I'm trying to get it so that for a particular user, at login, they are chrooted to a specific directory. I've set up the directory and everything such that I think it should work. I wrote a new login shell that chroots the user and set it to be the login shell for that user in yast. Everything works great, except that when the user logs in, it asks for two passwords : the user's password, and then the root password (because chrooting requires su privileges). Is there a way around this? This is what my login shell looks like:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/chroot /home/raid/dictation /bin/bash

I've migrated to Suse from Mandriva. I installed all my backup folders/files to my "home" folder but they have come up locked. I remember in Mandriva to change the permissions I pressed Alt F2 and then entered a command. How do I do it in Suse?

Tired of fat32 fragility, I reformatted a 4GB pen-drive as ext4 using Yast's partitioner. I chose format as ext4 and checked fstab options "can be mounted by user", "no access time" and "ordered journaling". I thought that these fstab options would be ineffective since a removable device won't be added to fstab. when I insert the pen-drive it auto-mounts and the folder /media/EMTEC is created (EMTEC is the volume name). The relevant mount entries are:
Code:
:~> cat /etc/fstab | grep sde
:~> cat /etc/mtab | grep sde
/dev/sde1 /media/EMTEC ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
:~>
There's no fstab entry, as it should be, and there is a mtab entry corresponding to the pen-drive, /sde1. However the /media/EMTEC as created (by udev, I suppose) is owned by root, I can't write to it. But if I change (as root) the /etc/EMTEC folder permissions so it belongs to the regular user, i can (obviously) write to it *and* it stays so *between* remounts. Haven't tried a reboot yet. What I'm not sure is if ordered journaling is OK for a pen-drive - or any kind of journaling, for that matter. Or will this significantly decrease flash memory life? Also, the fstab options set in Yast appear to be remembered by whatever creates mtab, as well as /media/EMTEC permissions. Is that so? Where are these settings kept? How does this work?

I tried two times to make an new partition (after the FAT partition on it) on my external hard drive with YaST>Partitioner.Fist I had tried ext3 now I have ext2 on it.Both times the partition (or the corresponding folder in /media) was only writeable to the superuser/root but not to a normal user (readable to the normal user). Root is the owner.The FAT-Partition on the same external drive is owned by the normal user who was logged in as I plugged the USB-cable in.I can unmount both partitions als normal user in natilus.1. Can I start nautilus as root to change the permissions?2. What have I done wrong? Should I use an SuSE Live-CD or an CD with an special partitioning-program instead?ng X20) openSuse 11.1 and Gnome 2.24.1 (mostly, 1 account is using KDE) and Kernel Linux 2.6.27.45-01.1-pae. "/home" is on an separated partition (as part of an extended partition). I have also 2 NTFS partitions for Windows XP (System and Data), and a FAT, a root (/) and a swarp partition.

Accidentally I changed the ownership of all the directories under / to my own instead of root:root. Now I am unable to use sudo and many bad things are happening. Is there a way to revert the changes or change the permissions again to root:root or make sudo work ?

I got out of kde used soma a cli radio station player, got back into kde and sound was screwed up, couldn't restart sound had to reboot, thought it was soma problem. Got out of kde, did nothing for several hours, got back into kde and sound was screwed up, couldn't restart sound had to reboot. Had kde running couple days, xmms stopped playing music, no matter what I tried with preferences I kept getting no sound or sound card not configure properly, had to reboot. Is there a sound log or something that might hint at what's going on?

I currently have a Raid0 setup with two disks and I have no problems whatsover. I currently bought 3 brand new 1B drives and I set up Raid5. I created the array and everything works fine. I formatted the array and mounted it. When I tried to copy 750gb of data over my new array, it copies fine at some point and it fails. After reboot, I am seeing the array inactive. I tried everything and could not get the raid back active status. I have removed the array and recreated again, formatted again. When I started copying my files over, exactly same thing happened.

I removed the hard disk from my EeePC and used it with Debian Squeeze on a 16GB SD card. It wasn't fast, but it was all solid-state, and that's important to me. However, lately it had started misbehaving. When recovering from sleep it'd lose all fonts (everything was displayed in squares), files could not be found and programs would stop working, and in a short time the system would become completely useless. Then after a while it started doing it regardless of sleep mode; I'd turn it on, do something, and it would work for a while - or maybe not - and then screw up. As an example, I noticed that unmounting partitions from gparted would do it almost always, but unmounting them from shell wouldn't.
Sometimes simply opening the browser would cause this weird crash. When shutting the system off it'd complain about the ext4 partition, though I don't remember exactly what it said. I thought it was Debian that had somehow screwed itself up (or I had...), so I wiped the card and installed Ubuntu Netbook on it. I was quite surprised to see that that, too, failed in the exact same way. I'd blame the SD card, but the strange thing is, the data on it is perfectly fine. In fact, I temporarily fixed the problem by reinstalling the hard drive, dd-ing the whole SD card on it and then expanding the partition over the unused space. From this setup, the system works perfectly - using the same data from which it used to fail when running from the SD card.

I'm having problems with my php 5.3.3 installation when trying to access remote domains. The problem only happens when the PHP scripts are run via Apache 2.2.15. The problems appear to affect all functions that might access a remote domain (e.g., gethostbyname, file_get_contents, curl, etc.). Basically, pHP scripts can't resolve a remote host when run via apache.
So I thought I might try to reinstall curl (I'm OSX 10.5.8, btw). I ran configure and make fine and then make test reports the following:
Code:
TESTDONE: 485 tests out of 485 reported OK: 100%
TESTDONE: 586 tests were considered during 283 seconds.
TESTINFO: 101 tests were skipped due to these restraints:

i just migrated from fedora to debian, and i already love this system. it only seems that i am facing a serious problem with this graphic card.running on debian 8.3.booting my system, i do get this message:
[8.167619] [drm:radeon_pci_probe] *ERROR* radeon kernel modesettingfor r600 or later requires firmware-linux-nonfree.
after that the system seems to run normally except of the fact that it doesn't look well and i cannot set the appropriate resolution for my monitor.
lspci -nn | grep VGA output:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Barts PRO [Radeon HD 6850] [1002:6739]
already tried both, the open source and the proprietary drivers, and both cause serious problems.
i tried to install the proprietary driver following these instructions: URL...
after restarting the system i get a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left corner, and that's it.
then tried to install the open source driver following these instructions:URL...
but after restarting the system my monitor goes into some sort of a "sleep monitor mode", and that's it.in both cases i wasn't able to boot the system through the recovery mode, so i didn't know what else to do and re-installed the whole system each and every time i tried a driver.let's say i have installed the system like 5 times in the past 12 hours.

I'm using a RHEL5/Centos5 variant. After struggling with various 2 TB hard drive failures, I started using the Hitachi Deskstar and Ultrastar models, and had none of the earlier green feature related or QA problems I had with all others. However, I began seeing SATA controller freezing under heavy loads, like large rsync mirror operations. My controller is an on-board ICH7R running in AHCI mode. The symptoms are that the drive goes off line and begins to log thousands of SMART errors for Spin-Up Retries. Analysis confirms that the drive is 100% OK after, except for the huge SMART log. This happens on two servers, and multiple drives. Changing the drive to 1.5 Gbps interface speed reduces the problem greatly but does not eliminate it.
I'm working with Hitachi engineering on this, and their only theory is that it has to do with "non-zero buffer offset". Apparently this is a feature of NCQ to receive data out of sequence, and Hitachi says that ICH7R is supports NCQ but not this feature. I am told that BIOS is supposed to filter offending commands but BIOS vendors sometimes err. An alternate is to filter them at the driver, which I believe is libata. Does anyone know anything about this issue? Where might be a good place to make a query about this, with regards to libata? I've contacted the motherboard vendor about the BIOS issue, but I'd like to look into libata also.

I'm running Kubuntu 9.10, and I like it (yay!) But I've been having issues with sound. Especially under system load I've been having an error where it says that the device analog 9xxx has failed falling back to digital, then it says almost immediately device digital 9xxx has failed falling back to analog. At this point any programs playing sound seem to retain that ability as long as I don't close them, but any programs I open have no sound. This applies to webpages and flash, as well as internal programs. I have also been having issues with video, no errors, but the video skips and freezes. Flash video occasionally crashes and any flash games that submit data (e.g. high scores) to a remote system crash my browser.
I end up having to pause the video and move it back several frames, then wait as if it had to load from ..... for a while, and it will run again for some time. My hardware is a dell inspiron e1505 on which the only things I have done are to replace a broken monitor and upgrade the ram (that is, after I broke windows too many times and converted to Linux. I don't have more error data for you, I simply haven't had the foresight to stick it into a text file yet. The error is displayed in the Notifications and Jobs button in the system tray, which is not well suited to copying and pasting, and I'm admittedly unsure as to how to find the error. I learned BASH on Sun unix at my local college and I still haven't quite learned all of how to speak ubuntu's terminal.

I am trying to disable accounts after 5 unsuccessful login attempts. I am following the guidelines in this article:
[URL]
This is on an Oracle Enterprise 5.4 box, which is essentially RHEL 5.4 Here is what my /etc/pam.d/system-auth looks like:
--------
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
[code]....
Unfortunately, the account does not seem to be locked or disabled. As root, runninng 'su test2 -c <some-command>' always sucessfully runs <some-command>, and leaves the failed attempt count at 6. /etc/shadow does not have an * or ! anywhere in the encrypted password for the 'test1' user.
What am I doing wrong? I thought that with the max attempts set to 0 in faillog, that the deny= parameter would be used. I thought I should be using su <user> -c <command> from the root account to test if the disable feature is working.

I need to scrape logfiles and do some pattern matching for a series of hardware and system faults;
For example:
Network interface down / up
IO errors
Out of Inodes
Out of Diskspace
Memory Errors
Power Failure
When the appropriate Strings appear in the log (assuming /var/logs/messages)Then a trap will be sent. (Customer specific SNMP solution) So what I need (I think) is a list of the strings I need to match.Has anybody any idea where I can find a list of strings which will definitely appear in the log - RHEL5 ?

I am currently having problems with my RAID partition. First two disks were having trouble (sde, sdf). Through smartctl I noticed there were some bad blocks, so first I set them to fail, and readded them so that the RAID array will overwrite these. Since that didn't work, I went ahead and replaced the disks. The recovery process was slow and I left things running overnight. This morning I find out that another disk (sdb) has failed. Strangely enough the array has not become inactive.
md3 : active raid6 sdf1[15](S) sde1[16](S) sdak1[10] sdj1[8] sdk1[9] sdb1[17](F) sdan1[13] sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdg1[5] sdi1[7] sdal1[11] sdam1[12] sdao1[14] sdh1[6]
25395655168 blocks level 6, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [15/12] [_UU__UUUUUUUUUU]
Does anyone have any recommendations as the steps to take ahead with regards to recovery/fixing the problem? The disk is basically full so I haven't written anything to disk in the interim of this problem.

I need by searching this site so I haven't had a need to sign up since I can't really help anyone as of yet. With that said here is my problem: I'm running a VPS with CentOS RHEL 5 host-in-a-box, I just did a rebuild of the server and after a day or two pure-ftpd and sshd unexpectedly close out any incoming connections. I am the only one that uses ssh and ftp so I'm not sure what the problem could be. I checked the logs and there is nothing to do with not being able to bind on the address.
I tried connecting through ssh in verbose mode and it connects to the server just fine, but drops the connection before it asks me for my key pass phrase. If I enable password access it will drop before it asks me for it's password. I've tried restarting sshd and ftpd. I've tried rebooting the machine. I've tried google, but this problem seems to need a little more specific trouble shooting. I can get in through console access, but that doesn't help me much when I need to transfer files.

I've been unable to successfully get a viable Celestia package created under -current with the 13.1 Slackbuild. First off, to build Celestia in the "default" Slackbuild manner, that is to say with the GTK front-end, you need gtkglext. (The Lua package built without issue.) The problem is, gtkglext will not build. It gets to the part of the build where it builds the "scanner" library (I have no idea what this library does in specific), where it successfully compiles, but then fails to link. The newest release of gtkglext is 1.2.0, which is from 2006, so I think that some of the symbols it is looking for when linking against -current's updated GTK libraries are depreciated. Here's the last bit of output from the failed build of gtkglext:
[Code]...
"error: 'abs' is already declared in this scope"?? There's a function or variable being declared twice that can't be right. Maybe two headers use the same variable or function name, and they're winding up in the same scope Like I said, I don't know. Hence, this post. I really like Celestia. I could live with the mystery of why these things won't build, but I can't seem to find any pre-built binary packages out there.
Of course, you can't try the KDE front end, since it will only work with KDE 3.

A few weeks ago, I upgraded one of our machines to the 64-bit server edition of 10.04. All went reasonably well (after some hoops to get it to properly recognize/mount the RAID + LVM partitions), but one of the things that confounded the installation process was login timeouts. From doing some research, I thought I'd gotten it solved by removing the checks for updated packages on login, but I either didn't get it done, or there's something else going on here.The issue is that the machine is headless and is actually a file & application server, but I do need to connect to it via ssh on a regular basis. However, the issue isn't related to SSH, as it also happens when I try and log in through the physical console too.
What happens is that every so often, login attempts will time out for a period of minutes, then they will suddenly start working again, instantly giving me my expected shell. Again, I suspect it is something with the way the motd junk is being generated, but having a server that prevents you from logging in is totally unacceptable. I've no idea how to go about debugging what happens because I don't see anything useful in any of the logs, and I don't have a way to trace the login process from outside. I'd love to hear what the problem actually is and how to prevent this from happening.
