When I try to open Transmission I get a message: "Couldn't open "/home/shai/.config/transmission/lock": Permission denied", and the only way to open it is by using gksudo.
I read on another thread that I need to delete that file, but the file doesn't exist.
What should I do?
How to open port for transmission or deluge to use torrents, 'cause any of both programs can download any torrent. I've searched on the internet and only find about open ports on hardware router, and that's weird 'cause Deluge on windows works perfect just after installing it and there's no need to open any port on hardware router.
View 1 Replies View RelatedTransmission says my port is closed. If I google the problem, it just gives me advice on how to open a port in Windows OS. There's no firewall in Ubuntu 10.10 by default, right? There isn't any router used neither. I'm living in a dorm. I just plug the LAN cable in the box fixed to the wall.

I type transmission from the command line and get "Cannot open display:".No dependancies except this line:Quote:Dependencies: libevent (available at SlackBuilds.org) is required,but transmission will use a built-in libevent if you don't haveit installed already.so i didnt bother getting it.Any ideas anyone? Maybe there are dependancies but not listed on that site? Or something to make the gui side of it work?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI love Banshee (1.5.3). A bit bleeding edge, but when I tried to reinstall it I find I can only run it with gksudo.
My system:
Karmic 32 bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processor 5200+

I am wondering if i can change the background or theme when i do gksudo or when i have to type a password, let's say in synaptics.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running a file server on Jaunty. It was a fresh install about a month ago and I have been having problems ever since. I connect external drives to the machine to do nightly backups. Lately, I have been using GParted (Gnome Partition Editor) to format the drives before using them as backups, as I keep a backup for every day of the week.
After using GParted a couple of times, it will stop working and I can't open it or any other application that needs root privileges. I can't use Gnome to mount drives anymore. I have to open Terminal and use the mount command to mount drives. Trying to start gparted or any other application, including nautilus from the Terminal using gksudo or gksu, I get the following error message:
Code:
gksudo nautilus
(nautilus:25353): nautilus-extension-gnome-mount-WARNING **: Cannot connect to system bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded : The maximum number of active connections for UID 0 has been reached
(nautilus:25353): nautilus-extension-gnome-mount-WARNING **: Could not initialize hal context
[Code].....
Once the machine is rebooted, everything works fine until I run a few more privileged applications, then the applications stop working again and this whole process starts all over. The only way to fix the problem so far is to reboot the machine, which is completely unacceptable.
gksudo nautilus sets the background to default (Because nautilus is rendering the desktop) I set the gconf key to stop it rendering the desktop, but this only affects the icons. How can I get it to give me back my background? Edit: Fixed the desktop (--no-desktop option on nautilus command) - need to find how to kill the nautilus process automatically when I close it.

Anyway, I have been trying to find how to get it to work on Ubuntu instead of Mint. It is nowhere to be found on Gnome-Look and I've tried to search everywhere for it. Also, I've tried just copying the folder from /usr/share/themes but I just get errors even when running Nautilus under gksudo.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running following command- $ gksudo ./myscript
It doesnt do anything. If i run sudo, then it works perfectly fine.
This occurred sometime in the past couple of days, perhaps because of an update that I just blindly accepted or due to some tinkering of my own. But for some reason, my gksudo never remembers the password I put in there anymore. When I sudo in a terminal it remembers no problem, and my sudo-via-terminal also responds to the "timestamp_timeout=x" variable in /etc/sudoers as it should. But does gksudo have it's own "/etc/sudoers" file where you can override the caching period for the password or does it reference the regular /etc/sudoers also?

View 7 Replies View RelatedThis comes at some point after installing GNS3 and Dynamips, which require administrator access as GUI's. Although, the first couple times I tried to run GNS3 as administrator, it worked fine. I do still receive the password prompt, whether running from the command line or the context menu. Note that GNS3 is the first application for which I've needed to run gksudo, so this may have been an issue before the above were installed, although I've always been able to run "Open as Administrator" in Nautilus and "Synaptic Package Manager," which now will not run either.
Running Ubuntu 10.10.
I tried "gksudo nautilus", and it didn't work! When the root window pops-up, it isn't there! I would like to delete this annoying file so that i can see my whole desktop.

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.
One of the apps that tries to run needs gksudo. Can I install that? I can't find it in the fedora or rpmfusion repos

View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I try to open Nautilus it requires root permission even if I don't use commands like gksudo.
I launch it from docky's bookmarks applet, requires root.
Use a command like "nautilus /home/harvey" it still requires root.
Adding the file browser launcher to docky doesn't even LAUNCH nautilus.
But launching file browser from gnome-panel works O_O.
But I never use gnome-panel, so I'd like to be able to launch it from docky and commands and stuff without root permission.
I installed lubuntu 10.10 from a minimal netinstall. For some reason, the main menu entry for synaptic package manager uses gksu instead of gksudo at the beginning of the command, as revealed by right-clicking the entry, then clicking "properties". This, of course, precludes the ability to access the program unless you're among the few who have activated the root user account. That's a problem in and of itself, but it's been recognized elsewhere. However, after I fixed the command and clicked "ok", nothing changed. I opened up the little properties menu again and it was gksu, as though I hadn't fixed the command.
The properties window is a mysterious little program called lxshortcut. I suspect that if I run lxshortcut using sudo, then the changes I make will actually stick. Problem is, I don't know how to find the actual location of the main menu's SPM shortcut/launcher-thingy. Nor are there any clear instructions on how to use lxshortcut in terminal. I flailed about with my best interpretation of vague instructions, but to no avail.
I downloaded alacarte (which is, of course, intended for gnome), and I got the software sources entry to show up in the list, but nothing else in the program responded when I clicked. The whole experience in alacarte was weird and unhelpful and somehow I've outright removed the menu entry for synaptic. And that's fine, I barely use it anyway, but Software Sources also has the same gksu problem, and I actually use that one. So how do I change the command associated with one of the preferences in the lxde/lubuntu main menu?
can't find where is gksudo, it is a part of some pakage but witch one?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to change my current nautilus window to have sudo capabilities,? e.g. to delete locked files. It may be lazy but if it takes a lot of navigation then it would be handy to somehow activate sudo from the open window without the terminal command (gksudo nautilus) which always begins at root.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to start off by saying I'm very new to Ubuntu. I have been using Ubuntu for about a week now and have not looked back!! Now on to my issue. I have been tying to update Transmission 1.75(9117) to the lasted version (transmission-1.92) but i can't seem to get the Synaptic Package Manager to find it. I have downloaded transmission-1.92 and extracted it on to the desktop but Synaptic Package Manager still can't find it.
