Ubuntu :: JDownloader Wont Write To / Media / X / But Works When I Run With Sudo?
Oct 6, 2010
I installed two programs recently, Vuze and JDownloader. Vuze seems to run perfectly fine and write to the /media/x directory.However JDownloader keeps saying "cannot write to location /media/x" or something like that. Only when i run it as sudo will it write to that location. So currently thats what I have done. But how do i make it so it runs without sudo and still can write to /media/x also, why is it that vuze has write permissions but jdownloader doesnt?
I've got a problem in doing sudo working for mounting things (e.g. usb pen or optic discs). Details:The OS: Slackware 13.0The response to sudo -l command:
Code: User user1 may run the following commands on this host: root) /sbin/shutdown -h now, /sbin/shutdown -r now
I recently switched back to ubuntu after a year of gaming on w7, however I think that this time I'm going to stick to ubuntu, if she doesnt screw me like she has the previous times. Anyways, I was just wondering what media players you guys favor, and why? (maybe there doesn't have to be a reason xD), and I tried to install beep media player with: sudo aptitude install beep-media-player And the return is: sudo: aptitude: command not found
I've got a 2GB SD card, I'm trying to transfer some videos on to it, but Ubuntu keeps on prompting me to open Shotwell Photo Manager.It won't let me create folders or transfer my videos to the SD card.
for some commands such as apt-get install xxx, I forget to add sudo first, then I need to retype it. What I want is in such cases, I just type a simple command, for example resudo. It will sudo my last command sudo apt-get install xxx. Is it possible in bash?
Debugging some of my scripts after upgrading from Debian Lenny to Ubuntu 10.04. In so doing, I tripped over this "problem," the solution to which may give me a clue to others.
On a bash shell command line I created a file thusly:
sudo touch zero_file
and it lists as expected with default permissions 0644:
I can place the command (minus the "sudo") in a script & run it under the auspices of sudo & it works. Am I missing something re the stdin redirection when using sudo?
I hope I haven't missed this in another forum but was tough to search for.While administering my new centos 5.2 x86 server through SSH I am successfully able to issue
i am relatively new to ubuntu. Just recenty i have not been able to access certain files(for example the history and bookmarks in the firefox folder), download files individually from the internet(music,fonts,etc), recieving an error message
i have sudo priveleges and can install via update manager. i read somewhere that compizfusion might affect access permissions and i do use compiz and emerald at the same time.
Testing an upgrade Etch>Lenny 5.08, and one issue I've found is that "sudo konqueror" in a teminal no longer gives root priveleges, instead konqueror starts with limited rights. It also seems that using a .desktop shortcut, an attempt to run konqueror under any credentials other than the logged-on user fails.
Yet, 'sudo kwrite' works. Anyone met this before, or know why?
I am trying to stream my music and videos to my xbox 360 from ubuntu 10.10, and I have set up ushare to do that. Ushare seems to be workign correctly, it starts up and the xbox recognises the share from the media menu, but there is no videos or music! For some reason ushare doesnt find any media in the folders I specified, and I double checked and the paths look correct to me. This is the error I get in the terminal:
how to make removable media (e.g. USB sticks) not have any write caching. I want to prevent data loss when they are removed after file copying appears done but before write caches are written. I'm using Gnome on Squeeze.
I've found suggestions of adding the 'sync' mount option to /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options in the Gnome configuration. However this doesn't seem to completely eliminate write buffering, as the drive activity light continues for several seconds after file copying appears done, and unmounting drives produces a dialog box which says to wait whilst data is written to disk.
i have created a network at home, and i have connected 3 pc to a stwitch and the switch is connect to a computer which has xp in it. new i can use internet easily but when i am using internet in ubuntu it is ok, and also download any thing is also very good, but when i write "sudo apt-get" in terminal or use "synaptic package manager" they download software where slow not more than 14kb or sometimes in bytesi dont know what is the problem
I have used ubuntu in the past but had a lot of hardware issues with it and unfortunately moved back to windows (( BUT i have tried Ubuntu again and all seems to work great except wifi My wifi connection is sort of working because when i run SUDO IWLIST SCAN it does pull up all available networks. But in the network manager icon on the panel i left click but i see no networks and can't connect to anything. I WOULD LOVE TO keep Ubuntu and use it permanently but I must get wifi working or else this won't be possible.
i downloaded java then jdownloader and it work fine and today when i open ubuntu i didn't find how to open jdownloadercan any one tell me from where i can open jdownloader
I was trying to edit a file requiring root permissions, so I used sudo. I typed the root password and it failed. This happened three times, and the process was ended. I then logged in as root (su) and was able to navigate to the file and make changes as root. Am I missing something? How would I edit the sudoers file such that this password would work? Or is there another way to log in to the sudo group to make these changes? How do I set sudo passwords?
like many other users, I am experiencing a small problem when using the Firefox extension Flashgot with the Java download manager JDownloader. Flashgot does not seem to be able to launch JDownloader automatically. I have already posted this in a thred on another forum, withouth results. I suspect that security issues are the reason why JDownloader cannot start.
I have an Internet connection with a Webstar cablemodem by Scientific-Atlanta Inc. DCP2100 series.I'm running an unstable distribution of Debian with the 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel.I have installed JDownloader and works great, but I couldn't configure the reconnection features.What I need is a simple executable to run a script to change my IP adress, if possible. An specific tutorial could just be great for me to learn.And if you can't do this in linux as well as in XP, I'd really appreciate to inform me about it.
I Love Jdownloader program but can't solve this old problem.
I'm still a little retard with GNU/Linux
Able to do a reconnect by running the following commands

This is the script I'm using.

It resembles this one in Window$
The program dhcpcd requires root user privileges.
Avahi daemon and network-manager widget should be disabled or uninstalled for this to work on Ubuntu.
Also I'm using Karmic.
I'm not Cisco certified. What I think it does, in a non technical comparison, is tell the ISP hardware that your ip should be 190.189.48.52 or whatever number you like.
For the ISP this would be the last lease you used.
The ISP hardware does not recognize this last lease in its list, so it assigns a new ip.
That does the trick and you get your new ip!
My ISP promotes the service with dynamic ip so no legal matters here.
The problem is how to automatize it.
Sudo runs the script with no privileges problems.
I am able to run it password-less by modifying sudoers file via visudo command.
I add the following line

It can also be like (this would need extra security measures?)
Quote:
Then you can run sudo /usr/bin/cambiar-ip and it won't prompt you for a password.
Password issues solved, I cannot get Jdownloader to run it.
In the Settings > Reconnection tab
Tried to use "External" and "Batch" but i get reconnection failed sad face.
I've tried in "External" /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/cambiar-ip
It won't work.
I'm missing something of the Unix security structure.
I have the following spec: - Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86Ghz - 4GB Ram - 1TB Hard Disk - 256MB Nvidia GeForce Graphics Card
I believe my system is quite fast, yet programs like JDownloader and Vuze (aka azureus) are very slow. More so on the GUI side, not so much program functionality (although I have not tested this either). If I scroll down a list of items, it takes ages, it lags and response time is quite bad.Also, I have two java processes running, each using 200MB of memory. I am assuming one is for Vuze and the other is for Jdownloader. It seems to me that Windows XP/Windows 7 ran java applications much faster and had less ram. I definitely see that with Vuze as it never went into the 200MB area when under windows.
my jdownloader dosnt start after update. I use openSUSE 11.4Have yesterday chat with jdownloader support. Cant find the config file.I have to rename the config file in config.old
I need such a OS on a old system for mass downloading and experimenting downstairs. Also I would prefer if it doesn't require too much Linux know-how and is operable by my Windows 7 system via networking. It doesn't need to be compatible with TrueCrypt or JDownloader specifically if alternative software for it exists.
I use Ubuntu 10.04.1. When i write to terminal "sudo firefox" it opens the firefox with the default users config settings. But when i write "sudo nautilus" it open the nautilus with new config settings. This means there is a problem on my system ? (when i open the firefox with "gksudo", it is using as new user (root user's) config files but nautilus is opening with the root user's files also with "sudo").
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
I have a problem when I want to use su I get this error:Code:su: pam_start: error 26I have googled it so I found this topic (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...r-26-a-615024/) but it didn't really help me. There was a reply on that topic and his question was what the output of this was:
