Software :: Cannot Install Opera In Mepis 11 - No Sudo Permissions
Jan 6, 2011
I just upgraded to Mepis 11 alpha 2 and am using the gnome desktop. I downloaded the appropriate version of Opera. When I try to install it using dpkg -i, it wont allow it because I do not have permission in either "user" or "root" desktop. I tried to edit sudoers file but it it doesn't seem to work. I can't use sudo because I am not in sudoers file and I cannot edit sudoers file because I do not have sudo permission. When I am in root desktop, I still do not have permission even to read sudoers file. How do I install Opera?

tl;dr - sudo make -> operation not permitted, sudo chown -R 777
* -> operation not permitted on some of the files
I am trying to install a library. Sudo make is getting permission denied on file 1, while using regular make I am getting permission denied on file 2. I have noticed some of the directories in the library are under nobody:nogroup. I tried chown and sudo chown, both didn't work. Sudo chown got permission errors, while chown didn't change ALL the files. (operation not permitted once again) Tried sudo su, and working from there, that also did not work. (permission once again). Using lsattr returned "lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on".
Code:
sudo chmod -R 777 *
chmod: changing permissions of `Makefile': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `Makefile.am': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `Makefile.in': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `queue.c': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `queue.h': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `ucutil.h': Operation not permitted
Note the .libs folder not having write permission....
Code:
chmod -R 777 *

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 want to make a script for something, but I'm worried the timeouts on sudo permissions (how you can't got more than 5/10 minutes between sudo commands before needing your password again). Basically, I don't want my script to be redundant and require overseeing for password inputs.
Code:
sudo echo Hello.
sleep 6000
sudo echo This is text. This shows the basis of the problem. I will need to enter my password twice.
Would allowing it to run uninterrupted be as easy as running this theoretical shell script his sudo to begin with?

Just added a new 250g internal-drive in my karmic box, all seems OK and I formatted the partition with Gparted as ext4 but now can't create folders. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to use a bash shell either, if I type anything in I get no problems until I attempt sudo and then I'm unable to type in a password!

I'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

The sudo upgrade of 2010-09-15 modified permissions on /var in my systems, both on 32 and 64 bit. (from 755 to 700) My subversion server stops working after the upgrade, you have to restore the old permissions by hand. I don't inspect how, but I've checked it few times...

I have a really strange problem. I have a few files in a large directory that I want to make readable by everyone. So I try this:
sudo find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec chmod +r {} ;
and get this:
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/find: Success
I don't know why it says Success, because the permissions were not changed. I verified by typing this:
find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec ls -l {} ;
and get something like
-rw------- 1 root root 536871076 Nov 22 14:06 readme_20101122200429
-rw------- 1 root root 536871892 Nov 22 14:08 readme_20101122200642
-rw------- 1 root root 293458128 Nov 22 14:10 readme_20101122200859
as a last resort, I tried:
sudo chmod +r *
and got:
sudo: unable to execute /bin/chmod: Success
and again Success really means fail. So, I gave up and logged in as root and tried:
find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec chmod +r {} ;
This time it worked. Why?
EDIT: /etc/sudoers looks like:
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
##Me
user1 ALL=(ALL) ALL

I get a error Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 881574DE gpg: Invalid option "--keyserver.ubuntu.com"

I have attempted to install Opera by downloading the Deb file and running:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i oopera_10.10.4742.gcc4.qt3_i386.deb
The installation appears to complete itself successfully. However, when I come to then clicking on the new Opera logo in the panel menu, nothing happens. Even after a restart.
What could I be doing wrong? How should I launch Opera?

I am running Lucid in my Apple iBook of course powerpc architecture and due to firefox's cruel treat on my CPU, I want to install opera which I am told is a bit lightweiht and friendly on CPU.I tried sudo "apt-get install opera" and I got "the package opera does not have an installation candidate .... and so forth....", I visited the opera for powerpc download page and I couldn't see Ubuntu among the listed OS'ses. I am not sure what to do? Is their an option coz I love firefox but my iBook wont stand it without the 100% CPU usage.

Last week, I received a used, older (built ~ 2005 or so) IBM ThinkCentre desktop (machine 8143-2EU) having a Pentium 4 (64 bit), 3.0 GHz CPU. It came with WinXP- 64 bit as the sole OS. When I tested my USB devices with the WinXP OS, they were detected and read. I wiped the WinXP and installed MEPIS 11- 64 bit. [There's only a single Intel Pentium 4, 64 bit CPU known to work for MEPIS 11- 64 bit. It's the Pentium 4 Prescott with EM64T. I don't know if my P4 is that one.] Things seem OK with my MEPIS 11- 64 bit OS except for the times when I plug in USB devices--> they're not detected nor read. In a MEPIS forum, a guy told me to try, after first plugging in the USB devices, running lsusb in Konsole. I do that, the system wakes up, and the USB devices are detected and read. But why do I have to do this to get my system to detect and read the devices? I've made the MEPIS system setting so that all USB devices are automounted when plugged in. Doing that did not correct this problem. As root, in Konsole, I ran hwinfo and noticed that for the USB controllers, the driver - uhci_hcd - is not active. Here's the hwinfo output for one of the USB controllers:
18: PCI 1d.2: 0c03 USB Controller (UHCI)
[Created at pci.318]
UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_265a
[code]...
[I suppose or guess that all MEPIS users who don't have this USB-device-detection-and-read problem have uhci_hcd.] To see what would happen as a test, I also used a MEPIS 11- 32 bit Live DVD in this computer having the MEPIS 11- 64 bit OS. When I use the Live DVD, I have the same USB detection-and-read problem! What does that mean? With some USB devices plugged in while I'm using the Live DVD, I'm forced again to run lsusb in Konsole. This wakes up the system so that it detects and reads plugged-in USP devices. Why? Any idea on how to fix this? Does this problem seem more a software one rather than a hardware one?

I've just installed fc 13 on my laptop. It's got windows and mepis linux on here also. the installer for fc only found windows and I was wondering if there's a way to modify the graphical grub screen to contain mepis linux or if i have to disable it and use a standard text screen for grub.

I recently installed Mepis (Lenny I believe) on my vaio n320 and was extremely excited that my Fn keys seemed to work right off the bat. I could adjust brightness just fine, but when I attempted to control the volume, nothing happened. I can adjust the volume from the mixer, but no Fn key.

I am a rookie. Yesterday, I intended to install a dictionary with the command sudo apt-get install dict-xdict, but it turned out to fail with the error. Then, I quited with Ctrl+ c, and I did not care much till today because when I want install something else today, the error keeps coming out. Therefore, I think I would better remove dict-xdict first, so I use sudo apt-get remove dict-xdict, but the error still appears:
[Code]...
I have already tries sudo apt-get -f install dict-xdict and it doesn't work out. I am hoping to install some other applications now, but I have not idea what I could do to fix this problem or just circumvent it

explain the difference between these two commands. I'm currently reading about changing your mac address and both of these commands show up a lot. They sound like the same thing to me. Is one better than the other, or do you need to use both to change your mac address?
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
