How can check that I have full permissions on anything should I set my self as root? There are a lot of files it said your not the owner so you can't change but if I'm not the owner then who is?
View 9 RepliesI have a Ubuntu 10.10 server and I would like to have full access to / from my Windows 7 box so I can modify config files and such.
I have already installed Samba and created a local user on the server for myself.
I am at the point where I need to create the share to / and give my user read/write to it.
Additionally if possible I would like for it to be a hidden share for additional security.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe issue I am having is that Virtual Box does not recognize my USB drives. I understand that it is related to the fact that Ubuntu cannot recognize the permissions on the USB NTFS drive. So how do I mount the ntfs drive and gain full permissions?
One post suggested that I have to join my user to the 'vbuser' group in users and groups to fix this in 9.04, but I do not have a "vbuser" group in my list of groups. I am running 10.04.
I have one drive for Kubuntu and 4 other NTFS drives. When I'm using Ubuntu Desktop Environment (GNOME), I seem to be able to delete files, create new folders, files etc, in all the NTFS drives. That is, I have full permissions to make changes in the NTFS drives. But when I switch to KDE, this isn't possible. Options like rename, delete, cut, etc, aren't working, they aren't highlighted.Is there any way I can have full permissions to modify NTFS drives in KDE?

I'm sudo and admin.
I am currently running Ubuntu Studio (a variant of Ubuntu 10.10), dual-booted with Windows 7. For convenience's sake, I have three partitions - one for 7, one for Ubuntu, and a third shared partition, for all of my non-OS-specific media, documents and programs. I am using RhythmBox Media Player, and have it pointed at a folder on the shared partition as a music library.
However, every time I boot, I have to re-mount the shared partition, which requires re-entering my login password. In a similar vein, when I'm installing programs in terminal (doing 'sudo apt-get install [x]'), I have to re-enter my password each time I do a sudo command. Is there any way to keep super-user permissions until I choose to drop them myself? Better yet, can I make it so that logging in as the admin account automatically instates super-user privileges?
As the title says, I've just given ubuntu full filesystem permissions. I used the following command thinking it would change the permissions of the folder I was in.
sudo chmod -R 0777 Is there anyway of reverting the permissions without doing a full reinstall?
However saying that, i'm doing a full reinstall just incase.
I want to know that is there any way to check that how much size of squid cache directory is full? Normally when squid size will reach upto 2GB then I have to clean it.
Code:
# cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 2000 16 256
I assign 2000 MB to the cache size. One month have been pass while squid is running but i am unable to know how to check the current status of my squid cache size
How can I format a USB hard drive to ext3/ext4 or whatever file format and have full permission to read, write and execute all files afterwards? When using the command line (as ROOT of course) mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb? Restricts the rights to ROOT as does the procedure gParted. The man mkfs did not help much. Configuring the fstab- file is a bit of a hassle, so it would be nice, if there was an option to set the permissions "correctly" right from the beginning. Setting Ubuntu (I'm using Ubuntu 9.10) up, so that it mounts USB devices not as ROOT as default but giving all users all permissions seems to be really complicated, as a guy from my local LUG told me.

I have 4 machines; all multiboot. I want each machine to have full rw access to file shares on each other machine, AND, full rw access to the other partitions on the same machine home folder for UNbooted OS's. I imagine Samba will NOT handle all these configurations? What else do I have to do, so that, for example, if I have 2 machines on, and I boot up a third machine in another room, it will auto mount the other 2 machines' shares, and it export it's own shares to the other 2 machines? I want also each machine to have full rw access to shares on the UNbooted partitions of each machine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had to register with a new username, because I could not remember my logon details and have since changed ISP so could not get details sent, anyway that aside to the problem.
I upgraded to 11.04 and all went well (hence posting here and not in the Upgrade section) and it is running fine, well until yesterday.
I ran the update manager as I usually do when first entering Ubuntu and it did an update but then gave me an error message about file permissions and to check my connection (which was connected OK).It has also affected the Software Installer, and now I can not install any new software.
Is this a generic problem with the latest update or is it just my Dell Inspiron 1545 please?
I've created a new group and a new user called dftp... Now I wanna do one thing... If 'dftp' connects thru ftp he should be directed to a particular location... and he shouldn't be able to see other folder except for his own including the parent folder that contains that location... I changed dftp's home folder to the location I want. However while connecting thru ftp. user dftp has been given permissions to see other folders and check out the contents of the other folders.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible "reset" all (X, GDM related) permissions/settings of one user? What would cause one specific user not to be able to log into anything via gdm/the login screen? After providing the proper password, the screen goes black and then jumps back to the login screen. No session alternative works, not even xterm or gnome failsafe. I can however log in via the console (Ctrl+Alt+F6, recovery etc). With another user I can log in via GDM just fine, and deleting and re-adding the "broken" user doesn't make any difference.
Some (maybe) relevent logs:

View 3 Replies View RelatedEarlier this morning I made my girlfriend an account on my Ubuntu desktop, I entered all the information, (username, full name etc.) and it worked fine. When I went to GDM I noticed that it displays both her full name, and username, but I seem to have my first name only as both my full name and user name (it just says "luke" twice).
I hadn't really paid attention to this before, but now it looked really odd with my girlfriend's full name, but only my first name. So I went to change it. Where to do that? I tried System->Preferences->About Me and System->Administration->Users and Groups, but I can't see "Full name" anywhere. In the end I used chfn on the command line to do it, but surely Ubuntu 10.04 isn't missing graphical a way to change a users full name is it?
Is there a way to add my full name to my user account?
I see how to add a user with a full name using:
Code:
And I've seen that if I delete my user account, and create a new one with the same UID/GID, that it would have access to my files.
Is there a command in bash which would allow you to list all users along with their full names?
View 2 Replies View RelatedNow I have set up a terminal server at work, with Ubuntu 10.04LTS and Free NX terminal server. All works great, over all expectations. But I have some file permission problems. In the home folder I have mad a folder where files that all users should have full access to is put. The problem is that when a user puts a file there, only that user have full access to that file, other users only have read rights. How can I make it so that all files put in this folder have full rights for members in the group "staff"?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat does Set user ID do? Reason I ask is if I select "Set group ID" it makes it so any files/folders created within that directory get the group accordingly. But if I select "Set user ID", it doesn't do anything that I notice. I thought maybe it would change it so any files/folders created get that user set as the owner. So if that's not it - what's its purpose?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just started dual booting Ubuntu 10.10 on my mini 10v with OS X a couple days ago, so I'm still pretty new to Linux.
But anyhow, I was attempting to change my User ID number so I could access the files in my User folder on my OS X partition. So, I tried entering the following commands:
sudo usermod -u 501 yourusername
sudo chown -R 501 /home/yourusername
Of course, smart me should've realized I should've been logged out and on a different administrative account to do this. But I didn't, and I believe the second command didn't work. So, whatever, I thought I'd try logging out and logging in as root.
So, I logged out, tried logging in as root, and of course, no dice because I didn't know the password. So then I tried logging onto my account and upon logging in, I got two errors. One was about ".ICEauthority" and I didn't keep track of what the other one was.
Great. So I did a quick google for the error, then tried entering these codes:
$ sudo chown user:user home/user/.ICEauthority
$ sudo chmod 664 /home/user/.ICEautority
$ exit
[Code].....
And again, I think the last one didn't work. So, I looked up how to login as root, changed the password and logged in as root successfully. Then, whilst in root, I entered:
/usr/sbin/usermod -u 12345 joeuser
/usr/bin/find / -user 701 -print | xargs -t chown joeuser
/usr/bin/find / -user 701 -exec chown joeuser {} ;
Upon entering those, I logged out and logged back into my account and everything was a complete success. No error messages anywheres AND I could access the files in my Mac user folder.
So, here's my question. How can I make sure I have all the right permissions I need? Or do I already have the all of the permissions I had before changing my user id?
Did those last three lines of code I entered "override" all of the codes I had entered previously? I just want to make sure verify I have all the correct permissions necessary so I don't run into any issues later on.
How do I add root permissions to my user account?

I'd like to set up my PC so that it has one "master account" for system settings, desktop appearance, etc. And then I'd like other user accounts that read these settings so if I change the settings on the master account, those accounts follow the new settings but cannot change them. But at the same time, these accounts cannot be allowed to read to master account's personal files (documents, music, etc.) Each account would be restricted to its own home directory, as expected.
Is there any way to set something like this up or am I dreaming of the impossible?
