Install wireshark and added it to visudo. But wireshark refused to start in konsole
Code:
# sudo wireshark
(wireshark:7493): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
However, wireshark will start without problem when in root.
I am trying to use wireshark on my ubuntu 10.10 laptop. However I have found out that wireshark will only detect my network cards when it is started with root permissions. How would I make it automatically start with root permissions?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been using ubuntu or a derivative distro and perhaps I grew too used to sudo. If it matters I am on Slackware 13.37 and xfce4. I was able to adjust sudoers to allow sudo but I am having difficulties running some progs as root. The biggest concern is trying to start thunar as root. It wont run after sudo, su, or su -l. What am I doing wrong?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a Python-based webserver on my Debian box. Setup: The Debian OS is VM based, but I've switched the VirtualBox from NAT to Bridged. IP of the VM setup = 192.168.1.7 (per my router's admin screen or ifconfig). I've succesfully set up my router's port forwarding for both ssh and HTTP. I've successfully set up my router's dynamic dns using [URL].
Regardless of the specific Python webserver I'm using (Django, CherryPy, standard library), I have to start the webserver @ 192.168.1.7:80 using sudo. Otherwise I get an error about not having permission to access the port. None of the webserver tutorials mention needing to use sudo when specifying an ip:port.
Question: why do I need to use sudo to start these webservers? Is it an indication that I shouldn't be using 192.168.1.7? Or that I'm not setting a config file properly somewhere?
Recently i was fixing a permissions error on my home folder. In the process i ran accidentally chmod 777 in the root directory. BIG mistake. Now i cant run sudo, or start network manager. I am currently on vacation and made a bootable version ov ubuntu on my flash drive, but i wouldn't boot. I think it is because i chmod'ed the grub folder (with is in the root) I have a boot CD a home, but is there anyway to fix it beforehand?

I just set up apache on my PC and I cant change the permissions by right clicking because "I'm not the owner" and instead of using the chmod command on every file that I would like to edit I would just like to write a script on a text file, save it to my desktop so all I have to do is double click on it and boom I can edit all my files, etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to fix a non-production server for a friend of mine. His initial complaint was that he wasn't able to use su or sudo anymore. Upon researching I noticed that he set the owner/group of his entire server to his personal user vs root and what not. I have attempted to run rpm -setguids -a and rpm -setperms -a and it doesn't appear to do anything except to yell at me that i don't have permisions to change the file permissions to root. I am going to be heading over there later tonight and i'm going to try logging in locally as root and then run the rpm -setguids -a. If this doesn't work, is there any other way I can recover the Centos 5.5 permissions back to default? Alternately, is there a way I can reinstall CentOS w/o losing the stuff he has in his /home folder. It is all 1 partition so I was unsure if it would just overwrite what is needed or if it will overwrite everything.

Code:
ubuntu@user1:~$ su -
Segmentation fault
ubuntu@user1:~$ sudo visudo

I would like to configure visudo to authorize user to start only one application with sudo on one peculiar host and forbid everything else so, after reading the man, I came up with :
Code:
Select alluser ALL = (ALL:ALL) !ALL
user host_name = /usr/bin/application
But it does not seem to work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running rhel6 64bit. Accidentally I ran % chmod -R 777 /etc and after that I have a problem to do 'su' or 'sudo'. When I did sudo it complained that /etc/sudoers has 777 while it should be 0440. I changed that and also restored right permission for:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1966 May 19 13:41 /etc/passwd
-r-------- 1 root root 1161 May 19 13:42 /etc/shadow
-r--r----- 1 root root 3746 Apr 23 01:38 /etc/sudoers
Anyway it failed to 'su'. Then I restored back permissions on files in /etc/security and /etc/sysconfig. Still can't do 'su'. Note: I could login from console as root but can't 'su' or 'sudo'. when I do 'su' it gives error: Password: su: incorrect password

Whenever I use sudo apt-get to install my apps in the terminal this pops up when its almost done downloading.
I broke sudo when I wrongly edited a file in /etc/sudoers.d in vi(did not use visudo :-().I read that I could fix the same by rebooting into the 'Recovery Mode' by selecting the same from the grub menu.
However I'd earlier disabled the showing of the grub menu by editing /etc/default/grub. As a result I can't seem to go into recovery mode to fix my broken sudo.
When I try to launch something from terminal, it shows this error.
gksudo gedit /etc/hosts

My computer always had this name and I never had concerns related to his name. So, what's wrong now?
I am having a problem with Ubuntu 10.04. I was setting up network sharing with Samba. Set up went fine, then I decided to change the hostname.
Following instructions I found on the web, I edited etc/samba/samba.conf to reflect my desired hostname.
Now I have to use superuser to run synaptic or update center. I don't know what else I have "broken".
I would like to change my hostname, if I did it incorrectly for 10.04 please enlighten me.
Whenever I try to use the sudo command in the terminal I get the message unable to resolve host, then my computer name. Here's some command line output with some files which I think may be causing the problem. I have Operating Systems homework and need sudo
steve@steve-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
sudo: unable to resolve host steve-laptop
