Ubuntu :: Permission Denied When Using CP Command
Apr 23, 2011
I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 and tried to create a folder using the File Brower went to my user account and proceeded to create a directory. Then when trying to cp a file to this new directory I get permission denied. I checked the directory permissions and discovered that its owner was root not the user that I was signed in as.
So I had no choice but to enable the root account so I could copy the file I wanted. Why could I not have copied the file using the user that I was signed/logged int as without resorting to changing users to root. I hope that its not a bug of some kind or maybe I did something weird during the install. I would like to disable the root account again.

nfs mounted directory which is mounted rw. I and everyone else are members of a common group. We all have write permissions in the tree: All files and directories in the tree are in the common group. All directories are set to 775 and all files are set to 664 or 775, as appropriate.If a file is owned by someone else, even though the file and the directory are group writable, I get permission denied when I try to chmod the file.
Here's the command synopsis:
997 > ls -l portparms.txt
-rwxrw-r--. 1 bdaugher fc 4091 Sep 5 2003 portparms.txt

If I try the sudo mv command on the file listed below I get the error listed. I am confused. It is my file & I have permissions. Somehow a slew of files on my system are now showing this way. This seems to correspond when I ran rsync from my netbook to sync it up with my desktop where I am having a problem.
Potential Source ->
sudo rsync -av --delete --rsh=ssh joe@192.168.1.4:/media/Abyss/Memories/ /home/joe/Pictures/
Type of issue ->
mv: cannot remove `100_2259.jpg': Permission denied
joe@Tux-Box:/media/Abyss/Memories/2009/3-09$ stat 100_2259.jpg

I did some reading on Openvpn and am following some instructions I found @ Install & Configure OpenVPN SSL VPN in SUSE & openSUSE Linux | SUSE & openSUSE
I keep getting the same error message when I run the . ./vars command
"NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys"
But when I run ../vars I get
"Bash: ../vars: Permission denied"

I have just installed 9.10 netbook remix onto my Eeepc 901. I was previously using 9.4 Rather than clicking on shutdown icons, or going through shutdown menus, I added a keyboard shortcut to run a shell script containing the following code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
init 0
because init needs to be run as root to have the correct permissions, I set the owner and group to be root , ran chmod 711, then chmod u+s to prevent anyone altering the script, and to allow anyone to execute it with root privelidges Since updateing to 9.10 netbook remix, I have been unable to get this to work. have applied the above changes but get a "/bin/bash: /usr/bin/shutdownscript: permission denied" error when I try to run my shutdown script from the terminal (nothing happens when I press the key combination asigned to the keyboard shortcut). If I run the shutdown script with sudo then it neatly shuts down. ls reveals the following permissions:-rws--s--x 1 root root
So it appears as if SUID and SGID are both set, and the owner/group are correct, and the script works, and yet it doesn't have the permissions to work. I installed 9.4 long ago enough that I can't remember if I had to do anything else to get it working, or has something changed between 9.4 and 9.10?

Forum.Ref:Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid LynxFluxboxOpera 10.61Has anyone a clue how I can solve following (minor but annoying) problem?It takes a relative long time (a few seconds) as normal user before Opera starts in my fluxbox environment. I expected a quicker startup time.Also because when I start opera as root the startup time is shorter.I started opera in a terminal. No messages when started as root with gksudoBut 5 lines of:open: Permission deniedwhen started as normal user. Startup succeeds after these messages.So I figured out that there is some kind of authorisation problem but have no clue how to find out which files opera tries to open and fails and what to do at this point.I searched for similar problems on this forum and also via google but could not find any real answers.

Currently I am having troubles getting my ssh key to work correctly. I have had a desktop crash which has been reformatted to use ubuntu. The key residing in id_rsa.pub has been copied over to the ssh server into the authorized keys of the given user. however When we try to login we get a "permission denied (public key, keyboard-interactive)" error. below is the debug option:

I have a shared directory on another machine but I can't get it to mount. The permission denied doesn't say where/which permission is denied. Is it on the remote on on the local machine? The remote has sharing enabled for the shareddocs directory and after I have mkdir'ed the local mount point I open it's permissions too.
The verbose response from mount.cfis looks like this:
mount.cifs kernel mount options: unc=//192.168.1.102shareddocs,domain=WORKGROUP,ver=1,rw ,username=clive,,,,,,,,,,,ip=192.168.1.102,pass=** ******
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) The man page does not have a list of error codes.

I have a user (let's call him John) who is not able to list contents of several 777 directories even though it appears he has permission to.
Case in point, as root:
Code:
Code:
If I use ls -a or strictly ls as john, I can list the contents of the nss directory:
Code:
That says to me that I have an issue listing permissions. Fine, I don't really need john to be able to list permissions. I want him to have rwx access to /media/nss/ENG which as you can see from my listing as root shouldn't be a problem since the perms on that dir are 777.
I am able to CD into the ENG directory or any other directory or subdirectory in /media/nss that has equivalent 777 perms, but once in the directories I can't list the contents:
Code:
I can get anywhere and do anything I want under the media/nss folder as john, except listing files. I even tried using an ACL i.e.
Code:
Why this isn't working?

fresh install of ubuntu karmic server. fresh, vanilla install of openssh-server attempt to connect either via standard ssh, linux client or puTTY win32 client system (both on local LAN)
First connect is great. connection established.
Second connection (via multiple clients) screams that: "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" and since I have strict checking, won't let me continue.
So, i do a little
Code:
To flush it out (i have backups,).
Then i try again:
I get the typical "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?" and i say yes. at which point, i offer the password for the username in question and it flat out refuses: "Permission denied, please try again."
Ok, so i have even gone as far as do a complete rip and replace of the ssh server and it's config files, however this continues to loop and repeat.
So, question one: Why does my key change?
Question two: Why am i getting "permission denied" errors on subsequent connect.

I have a Ubuntu box and just got a new hard drive. Rather than copy everything over from my old working Ubuntu install, I wanted to install Ubuntu from scratch and then rebuild the file contents.I have a large collection of music that I use on my mac (another computer) and like to keep sync'ed to the Ubuntu box. The following script used to work flawlessly:
Code:
rsync -avz --delete --exclude-from './music_exclude_list' '/Users/ryan/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/' 'ryan@192.168.1.200:/home/share/music'

Why when I want to install some thing on my ubuntu 10.10 from terminal or user any other commands I have this output:
Permission denied
This one I want to install make-3.82. I extract files and open install file (a text guide file)
in this guide I see this
HTML Code:
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.
I do this I open my terminal cd to that location and type ./configure
And output is this:
bash: ./configure: Permission denied
When I want to make any softwares I have the same problem? I have to give terminal any permission or something? I want to do any action to don't see this .... message again.

I completely switched to Ubuntu 6 months ago. I kept my secondary sata hd as ntfs for a while but started having permission problems. I switched it to ext4 and that worked for a while but then it started having permission problems again. Specifically, I can't execute anything on that hd drive. I converted it to ext2 and it still didn't help. I have 2 executable modules that I moved up to the root directory to make this simple and they look like this:
tom@tom-desktop:/media/sda1$ ls -l
total 3088
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tom tom 3099451 2011-04-23 16:36 bochs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tom tom 26064 2010-09-11 08:48 bzip2

We've run into an interesting issue in our environment:
If user joe1 has an executable that is NFS mounted, owned by him and permissions are set such:
--x--x--x a.out
he can't run it:
./a.out: Permission denied.
if he moves it to the local machine, say /tmp, it works fine with the same permissions.
joe can execute the file if he changes the permissions to r-x--x--x
this behavior seems to exist on the 11.04 clients, but not the 10.04 clients.
