Software :: Ubuntu 10.04 Installs First User As UID 1001?
Sep 17, 2010
I just did a new, complete install of Ubu 10.04, installed myself as the first and only user and it gave me a user ID of 1001. All of my old systems gave me 1000. Now, when I NFS mount my other systems, I see ownership by UID 1000 and I have permission problems.
I certainly was not given the ability to choose my own numeric user ID at install time, just full name, short name (login id, brianp) and password twice.
Is there a good reason to skip the old standard UID of 1000 for the primary user on new installs? I would rather have good old 1000. If I just login as root, hack the /etc/passwd file to give user 'brianp' a 1000 user id and then chown -R brianp /home/brianp/*, what will I destroy?
As a limp-around, they seem to have left the users group ID at 100 so I have just made me a member of users group and changed permissions to full for the members of the users group.

As the title says... (when using add/remove). Not sure how it got this way, so can't just put something back - need a way to correct it.

I've got the following error message on my Ubuntu 10.10 Server after messing up the root permissions.
Code:
/etc/sudoers owned by gid 1001 should be 0
I've found some threads on this forum but they do relate to Ubuntu Desktop while this is Ubuntu Server. Therefor I started a new thread. Hope you don't mind. I've tried the following command:
Code:
chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo
Code:
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo
The first command works, the second returns error: No permission

I have a text file that currently has around 150 000 usernames in it. I need to somehow group them into smaller groups of 1000 and then add that value into the DB. for example user xzy group 1 (hopefully the groups will be digits incrementing)
[Code]....
how to search for 1000 then assign them group 1 and then 1001-1999 to group 2 etc.

I'm pretty new with boot loaders, and I'm having some troubles. I had Ubuntu 11.04 installed and working pretty well, but I went to give Fedora 15 a try. I thought dual boot would be ideal.
So I used some free space in my HD, installed Fedora 15 Live USB, / in one partion, and /home in another, and a swap.
I always use /boot in another 100 MB partition at the start of the disk, so during the F15 bootloader, I directed it to the /boot partition.
After reboot, I can get into F15, but when I select 'other' I get an error message (sorry, its hard to remember "boot img not found, press cntrl alt del " )
In a panic, I used an old boot cd, ubuntu 10.10, created yet another really tiny partition of 2.3 gigs from free space, and installed its bootloader in my /boot partition again.
I can boot back into Ubuntu 11.04 (or 10.10, which I will see nuke anyways.) But no fedora choice anymore at all?
Is there a boot cd/tool that I can use to read all 3 of my OS, and allow me to boot into the one I want?
Or should I reinstall a Fresh F15 (since i've not done anything) and make different changes during install ?
Any reason why F15 and Ubuntu can't see each other during their installs?

I have tried many things but none of which seem to work.
Motherboard : N2PAP-LITE
Processor : AMD SEMPRON 2800+ (32 Bit)
Stock FSB Settings : 166/333MHz
Chipset : NVIDIA NFORCE2
This is a really odd problem. It installs under 133/266MHz and runs fine. When it's at 133/266 it reconizes it as AMD ATHLON XP in the BIOS and the Linux Installation. I want to be able to install it using 166/333MHz which is the stock setting of the processor! When I set it to that in the BIOS it reconizes as a AMD SEMPRON 2800+ but will not install Ubuntu 9.10.
This is the error I get if I try to run it from the CD, Install it, or boot from the current installation which I installed it with 133/266MHz. If anyone can please help me figure this out it would be great, im trying to use it as a server and would not like to bottleneck it as it shouldn't be. I get these errors
Code:
check_bugs+0xbb/0xe9
start_kernel+0x2dc/0x2ec
? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x1ab
i386_start_kernel+0x7c/0x83
Now if you want the whole error list I will type it up.This is a link for the motherboard manual.

I burnt a 10.04 LTS disc when it was released and just tried installing on an old Pentium 2 400 MHz with 320 MB and two 10 GB drives. After rebooting, it comes up in text mode with a tty2 login. Did this install the server version only? Is there a command to launch the GUI shell? There were no options during the install to choose GUI or server version and I assumed this was the 32-bit GUI version and the install disc ran we GUI during installation.

Friend asked me an interesting question today. We were talking about having a 'fallback' option in Ubuntu / other Linux distros so that if you wanted to default to stock ubuntu with none of your personal additions (excluding updates)and we came up with the idea that if dpkg / apt would install anything NEW to /opt, then you could go back to a vanilla install by just doing and then you have a essentially a clean install.
Out of curiosity more than anything else, we started looking around, googling possible ways to phrase that question and nothing came up. So does anyone know of a way to set that up?I know you can add /opt/ to your PATH variable so that you can put an executable there and BASH will find it. But I didn't know if you could do it for install things there by default.If nothing else at least it would give Ubuntu a more centralized place to install applications / view all parts of a applications because roaming through /etc/, /usr/, /bin/ and everything else that comes with the "AWESOME" Filesystem Hierarchy we still have is a pain.

I have searched for a few days now and it seems this forum is the most active when it comes to linux questions so here goes. I have a MacbookPro5,1 and have been looking into various ways of running a linux distro in non-legacy mode, aka through EFI. I was thinking Fedora 12 (gasp) because it supports EFI booting on MBR formatted drives BUT not on a GUID drive (correct me if im wrong). The biggest reason I want to use EFI is because I want to use the 9400m instead of the 9600 card which apparently can be accomplished by entering the correct PCI ID into the xorg.conf file. - I'd like to avoid using the internal drive (running 10.6.2) but am open to it if no other options exist I need to be able to boot via EFI (and able to select it by holding Option at boot)
Variables:
- USB and SDHC cards my AFT PROExpress-7 card reader are bootable via EFI. I understand that these types of flash memory (SD especially) were not designed to run operating systems and the amount of read/writes could kill the drive off quickly if configured wrong. I am unsure of whether or not the ExpressCard/34 slot can boot off an ExpressCard SSD. I have been looking at the MyDigitalSSD 32GB card because it is much faster than the older versions of ExpressCard ssd's and is relatively cheap. Can anyone comment on this or other ExpressCard SSD's?
NOTE:
- I know about rEFIt but I don't think it helps me in this case (booting XP yes, but if i want to boot linux EFI i don't think so) As mentioned above, I am unsure of what are the requirements for booting a linux distro via EFI when it comes to type of partitioning scheme and what bootloader to install (grub2 or elilo) for a Macbook Pro I'm open to any/all suggestions and will try to document everything I do to update the sparse Wiki's when it comes to this topic.

I've only ever installed two programs that came in .tar.gz's with their own install.sh scripts. Each one recommended to be saved in /opt.What is opt? Should all .tar.gz programs with their script installer be handled in the opt directory?

I'm planning to have two installs on the same pc, so I can break / test one and still have a usable system. I've got my partitions setup so I have a separate /home for both installs to share, but how do I share the updates? I'm going to use clonezilla to copy the working (/) partition, but how can I use the updates for both installs. I'm just trying to save downloading twice if possible. Is there a way to copy or use the updates applied in one partition to the other? Does apt save the updates somewhere?

Uh why does Ubuntu 10.04.1 x86 run like dog **** on USB flash? Heres what happens, system runs for 10 seconds, freezes for 5, on and on and on, its horrible and basically a useless install, an endless loop of frustration and system halts.. Is there a special distro or version for USB installs?
Coz installing off the 10.04 cd directly to a 4gb U3 USB stick runs like a DOG POO! Yes its USB 2.0, and it should not be doing this, I almost went apeshit insane that after a 2 hour install process, thats the results I got. Celeron D 2.8ghz/512mb ram, no hard disk, U3 4gb USB 2.0. Im running puppy linux now and I have no hard disks, and since Ubuntu is clearly superior, would be nice to know what Im missing here or of this is a bug specific to my platform.

I've been installing Ubuntu on more and more systems for people. But I'm just doing the install from the the LiveCD download on the Ubuntu homepage. Once I do the install people want their desktop to look like mine so then I have to install Compiz and Cairo-dock and configure them both like mine. Is there a way to create a LiveCD or installation disk already pre-loaded and configured with Cairo-dock and Compiz. I'd also take off F-Spot and add digiKam, along with making sure a working version of Flash and Java are also included in my personal installs..

I have a client who asked me to setup two seperate installations of Ubuntu on his system for him; the intention being that he would have a fall back strategy in the event he screwed something up with the primary install. We have two seperate partitions set aside for each respective distro's / (root) and a large partition that both OS's mount as /home.
Thinking about this just now I have a feeling that what I should have done was added one more tiny partition to house /boot for both OS's. Would that have been the best thing to do? What is happening right now is both / partitions have a /boot folder and the MBR is mounting the secondary /boot folder (from Ubuntu #2) to run GRUB at the startup. The menu list of this /boot folder is giving priority to the instance of Ubuntu we had intended to function as the backup because the size of it's partition is much smaller. Well anyway, I'm going to guess the best way to fix this is to have a /boot partition that both OSs can share, but I don't know how to change the current configuration for both systems to do that.

I was installing Ubuntu 9.04 64bit server from the CD on a machine that I normally run ESXi on. I wanted to test disk speed on a direct install vs. the install in ESXi, so I installed a 4th hard disk, shutdown ESXi, and installed Ubuntu directly on the new disk (4th Bios disk - SCSI:3 or sdd). When I tried to boot from this disk, nothing happened. I rebooted from the ESXi install disk (SCSI:2 or sdc), all was fine. Playing around, I finally found that to boot the ubuntu install, i had to boot from SCSI:0 - Grub had installed there, even though I never indicated that disk for anything during the install. It would be much better if Grub ASKED where it should be install, rather than assuming.

Recently I have built an old pc using bits and bobs that have been collecting in the garage for years and decided to try and turn it into a file server, and to get some experience in networking etc. Now I had a choice of 2 motherboards for the system:
1.)gigabyte ga-8siml
2.)elitegroup l7s7a2
I first built the pc using the gigabyte board,install was successful and ubuntu server booted on restart. The only problem was,there is no onboard lan on the board and the only spare wireless pci card I found was completely frazzled. Rather than buying a new wifi card to get the system running, I thought I would try the other motherboard since this had onboard lan. The elitegroup motherboard however does not have onboard vga, so I dug out an old agp ati radeon 9200se 128m ddr tvo graphics card and plugged her in. The install went fine,but after a restart, I'm left with a blinking cursor at the top left of the screen.
If I hold down 'shift' for long enough I can bring up the grub menu,but if I select anything I get no signal on the monitor. After a while on the blinking cursor screen the monitor will time out to no signal on its own. I have tried the installation using different combinations of the options given by F6 of the first installation screen but to no avail. I have also tried installing the generic kernel as opposed to the generic-pae.

Here's a screenie of partitions where Ubuntu is currently installed:[URL]..sda1 is the partition where Windows used to reside - that's why it's flagged as 'boot'. When I nuked Windows, I just left it flagged that way as I figured that's where Grub is installed and didn't want to screw anything up.
I'm about to add a new 1TB drive for Lucid (most likely). I want to move this current drive to the second drive bay so it will become sdb 1,2,3 but keep it functional (at least until I'm convinced that Lucid will work for me). Here are my questions:
Will Lucid find the old Ubuntu install on sdb automatically and give me a choice of dual boot?
Will the old Grub legacy be overwritten? Should I remove the old 'boot' flag or leave it like it is? Do I even need a boot flag on sdb since BIOS is set to boot from sda? Any other tips before I start mucking around in a perfectly functioning system?

I attempted to install gnucash just now to test it out, but, in the middle of the installation (which I was doing through Terminal), something happened and dpkg was interrupted. I'm unable to provide the Terminal output because (a) for some reason, prior to the error messages about a segment fault, the terminal shows a number of blank lines and does not show me what happened before the segfault, and (b) after the segfault, when I tried starting up gedit or make a screen capture, the prompt windows were blank, so I was unable to save the terminal output to either.
When I restarted Ubuntu, it told me that /tmp was not ready; I waited for it to mount, and, apparently, it did, as Ubuntu restarted fine. I tried updating my software, as the icon in my panel was telling me I needed updates. However, it told me that dpkg had been interrupted and that I needed to troubleshoot it with sudo apt-get install -f, which then told me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a, which I did, receiving the following output:
Code:
sqlu@thalamus:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
[sudo] password for sqlu:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
sqlu@thalamus:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up libktoblzcheck1c2a (1.24-2) .....
It looks like there were errors with a number of packages, and I'm guessing something else might have also broken. Since I'm already using homebank and don't really need to use gnucash, I was wondering if there was a way for me to check what was installed by gnucash and remove those packages, since they're cluttering my system, and I'm concerned that they might interfere with other packages if they're broken or something. I've been using Ubuntu for about two years now and have some knowledge of the command line and such, but I'd say my skills are still pretty basic. I'm running 64-bit 10.04.
