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 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 am trying to use sudo but it prompts that the password is wrong.
When I try to use gksudo everything is fine. I also can use su - without a problem.
I tried to add my user to sudoers and it seemed to work as you can see here:
Code: Select allronel : sudo root adm cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev users netdev lpadmin
but it did not change the situation.

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:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-03-09 11:18 zero_file
But then this command fails
sudo echo abcdef >>zero_file
-bash: zero_file: Permission denied
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 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

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 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
Quote:
This is the script I'm using.
Quote:
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
Quote:
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.
Here is the wiki of the program

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.

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
