Software :: Unable To "compile" .tex Files As A Normal User
Apr 16, 2011
Running slackware-current with KDE 4.5.5 and Kile 2.0.83b with texlive 2010. I'm unable to "compile" .tex files as a normal user. I get the error
Quote:
[PDFLaTeX] finished with exit code 127
Cannot open log file; did you run LaTeX?
Under the "Output" tab, I get
Quote:
/bin/sh: pdflatex: command not found
Which doesn't make any sense, as I'm able to run pdflatex from bash and it compiles fine. My path contains the texlive binary directory. Incidentally, when I run Kile as root and try to run PDFLaTeX on the same file it compiles without an error.

I am unable to login as normal user. I am sure that my password is correct. What are the possible reasons behind this and also the solutions. My /etc/password and /etc/shadow files are good and my login haven't set to /etc/nologin.
Actually this a question asked to me by a Novell(Suse Enterprise Linux) Regional manager.

On a Fedora Core box, I have a normal non-privileged user and I also have sole access to the root account. Because I am the only administrator of this box, I frequently su over to root for administrative tasks. The problem is that many of the user configuration I've become accustomed to are only configured on my day-to-day account (.vimrc, .bashrc, .screenrc, etc). Other than giving my day-to-day user account privileges to perform administration tasks, how would I go about sharing configuration between these two accounts?

I have a Red Hat 4 server with Sungard Luminis installed on it. I was following some instructions on setting up Luminis to start at boot. One of the steps was modifying the sudoers file. Since modifying the sudores file, I am no longer able to "su" to root when logged in as a normal user. When doing so, I get su: incorrect password after putting in the password. I have another server with the exact same setup, broken one is test, the other is production, that works just fine. I made no changes to my production server. I've been looking at different things all day and the only difference I have found between the two are the results I get from running rpm -q --verify coreutils. Running that on my prodution server returns nothing. Results from my test server are below. Is this what is causing my problems? If so, what's the fix? I haven't found that yet. I've checked /etc/pam.d/su, both servers are the same.
rpm -q --verify coreutils
.....UG.. /bin/basename
.....UG.. /bin/cat
.....UG.. /bin/chgrp

Is there any way to use 'fdisk -l' as a normal user? I see in F12, /sbin has been added to PATH by default for a normal user, but when trying to use it, nothing shows up.
See below for demonstration purposes:
Code:
Password:
I don't want to use 'su -' or 'su -c' and login every time.

Recently I noticed, that manpages are not available anymore for a normal user:
Code:
$ man grep
No manual entry for grep
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.With root privileges everything works fine

As I get reply from antoher forum is best there on Ubuntu is better to have 2 user accounts - one is admin and other is normal user for surfing, and other things. But there is problem. How can I install applications on this normal user account?
And,.. is option for installed applications (on normal user acc.) is no visible or installed on admin account?
- Can I .reg file for program which is running on Wine, use for a program that I need to change settings in "registry"?

I just want to be able to access and modify the files on my usb drive as a normal user. The mount command works perfectly as root but then the files that I end up copying to my home folder can only be modified as root. I only use a window manager and use just bash for file management. I just want to be able to it through the command line.
(using 13.37)

I would like to allow normal users to run some root scripts (e.g the sound subsytem [alsa]) in cases sound is stuck. What is the best way to allow this to happen in opensuse? There are many ways to do that (and I do not know how to use any of them ) and I am not sure which one is more suse all right.

Using opensuse 11.1 64 bit with kde 4.1.3, apps like k3b, or any multimedia apps can not see the optical drives unless I run the apps as root. I also found that to run bladeenc, I have to do it in a root terminal. Is there a way to set permissions for the normal user? Firefox or any text editor work fine as normal user.

I have installed Oracle Database server in Red Hat Linux for the first time. I edited the .bash_profile first time & defined some parameters like "export ORACLE_SID =orcl".I quit the editing. Then When I entered ". .bash_profile" it got error " not a valid identifier" it shows like "bash: export: '=orcl' : not a valid identifier for all the lines I edited it shows same error beacause I think I put a space in between "ORACLE_SID" & "=orcl".
So when I tried to edit that using "vi .bash_profile" being a normal user. It doesn't allow me editing.when I try to delete that space (because I think I have got error) using Backspace key on my computer,,it just moves the cursor to left in stead of deleting that space.

When I try to login root from my normal user, I can see this:
Code:
Cannot exec /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server: File or directory doesn't exist
(Translateted from my nativ language)
I think that is my bad shell configuration so I check file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and see in the end (this lines couse this bug):
Code:
Match User root
ChrootDirectory /home
AllowTCPForwarding no
X11Forwarding no

I have recently installed the Slack 13.1 x86_64 on my laptop. It works fine! But I have one trouble with it. I cannot run the installpkg and pkgtool with my normal user. It says to me that there is no command found. Is it a problem with the sudoers file or these commands are not really installed? Maybe my path is incomplete?

I am using a broadband internet connection. Currently I am using pon and poff commands to start and stop the internet connection respectively. But for these commands to execute I should switch to the root user. I want even a normal user to be able to start or stop the connection. How can I do this?

If sound on F12 works as root user but not as a normal user, try this simple fix! I've been struggling to get sound working as a normal (non-root) user since F10. Until now I've had to run X as root user to get any sound out of my machine.
Sound actually works OK now for me as a normal user. Here's how I fixed the problem.
First I uninstalled pulseaudio with:# yum remove pulseaudio Then reboot back to the hardware. You might want to keep pulseaudio, but I have no need for it. PA wasn't running on my system anyway.
Running X as root user, I did the following: As a test I opened a root shell and typed the following:
[root]# alsamixer c0 That started the alsamixer OK, and all the controls were accessible.

Problem is that I can't burn disk using nero linux as normal user. If I try to do so, it tries to create a .nrg image in the drive rather than burning those files in the disk. But if i run nero as super user then it works okay. If I run it as normal itan't even recognize my burner

I am running 11.4 with KDE updated to 4.6.3 and suddenly I cant start Yast or Software Manager using kickoff. It doesn't even open the dialogue to ask for root password. I see Yast appear in the panel for 15 seconds or so then it just disappears without opening a window. If I open a terminal and su to root and run yast2 it work fine.
