Just installed Lubuntu on my lappy having had Ubuntu 10.04 in the past and liked it. I dont seem to be able to get permission to move files though?I open LXTerminal and have tried the commands:Sudo nautilusgksudo nautilus
gksu nautilusBut still I cant drag drivers into the driver folder? (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers)
I can't perform any of those.Except from the Terminal.I didn't edit any permission... nor installed anything.Don't know what to do.Also, "Move to Trash" appears grayed out, in the right-click menu (for all the files/folders).
View 8 Replies View RelatedWell, this is a problem that keeps on coming, and I never found a solution: Maybe it is just me misunderstanding how it should work, but:
1) do you confirm that, as a member of the group "fuse", I should be able to read the file?
2) of course, I could change the permission of the file, or read it as sudo, but sometimes this is not possible. how to achieve it then?
If i download files from the internet to the ubuntu home download folder will that kill off windows viruses? Ive also have avast on demand scanner-but are anti-viruses effective against windows viruses these days?

When they send files the ownership of files are all the same as user name group created in this machine.But our application engineers use another user name "deb" to process these file. But as the owner of these file are "rom", they cannot process with their user. Manually they modify the user name and group and then they able to process.The group ID of the two users are different and its application dependent.how should the ownership will be modified automatically or is there any workaround or script to modify the ownership of these file for application user's?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having difficulties assigning permission for wordpress to write files. I am having problems with the permalink within wordpress and I think it might be because of the level of permission wordpress has. Currently on my system I need to set permission to 777 in order for wordpress to write to the .htaccess file.
I am running my website on a Ubuntu machine. Version 10.10 Apache2 2.2.4
However, when I leave the permission level set to 777 I still cannot get the permalink to point to the corrent page......See my discussion on this here. [URL]
I think what I need to do is change wordpress to use a user permission or a group permission and not "everyone". I would rather have wordpress setup to login as a specific user before it can write over a file.
Is it possible to somehow setup a secondary group of log files that log every action taken on the server where your average user wouldn't know that they're being logged. Perhaps if a hacker got in and messed around or something you'd be able to see what they did, but they wouldn't have permission to modify the file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on an Intel machine. The machine also has Windows 7. So some of the partitions of the hard drive are Windows compatible (NTFS). They are all mounted when system is booted with Ubuntu and all files are accessible. However, when I try to change permission or limit access to a group, CHMOD command does not work. It doesn't return any error and everything seems to work fine but I can't change any permission.

I would like to allow a user to login through SSH but with differentpermission coming from different ipaddress.For example, a user "tester" login to SSH through 192.168.1.1 andanother user login with the same login id "tester" but from differentip 192.168.1.2.How do I restrict 192.168.1.2 to only allow for viewing the content inthe home directory while giving 192.168.1.1 full access?I got a suggestion from some oneApproach 1) Based on the ip you change the shell. If it's just for read only ajail would be fine.but how do I change shell based on IP?Approach 2) to have two ssh instances. Let's say port 22 and port 24. Port 22 isfor read only, while port 24 is for full accessso how can it be possible to give port 22 only read only access to SSH
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 10.04-alternate-amd64 for full disk encryption. After getting my updates which i get as soon as they are released. I am getting the issue temp root (sudo) password is not being revoked. After using any app that requires the use of sudo the permission for it does not get removed like it normally does.
I have tried logging out then back in, which usually removes the permission, this no longer works, also tried waiting and even after 1 hour permission still there. The only work around I have found is to use the terminal to execute the required programs then after closing terminal the temp permission is now removed like it should be. This issue has effected all of my systems and a friend of mine as well, (friend uses same distro).
To replicate issue:
1) Boot system.
2) Login.
3) Check for updates or any other app that uses root permission.
4) Logout
5) Login
6) Repeat step 3
7) App will not ask for permission it will use root permission automatically.
What are the steps I must take to move my existing home folder to a separate, encrypted partition? Can I create this partition without damaging my current partition? Where is a trusted location to download App Armor profiles? What else can I do to harden the security of Ubuntu?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have, say, 10 machines, connected via NFS and NIS. There's a server which exports the /home using NFS, and exports the user names using NIS. All machines are working fine. I am able to ssh to the machines remotely and get my work done.Recently though, one of the machines (say M, for easy reference) would not allow any other machine on the NFS network [or outside the NFS network] to ssh into it. Every time an ssh attempt is made, 3 IP addresses [including the machine from which an ssh attempt was being made] are added to the /etc/hosts.deny file on M, and the error message on the other machine shows 'permission denied' after the password is entered. I tried using various options that ssh provides, but I cannot figure it out. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling openssh-client and openssh-server on M, but it didn't change anything.
Another point to note is this: another user made use of M before, for a while, by disabling ssh passwords - so he could access M without having to enter his ssh password. That individual can still log in to M. All others who require to enter a password cannot ssh into M.
I would like to allow a user to login through SSH but with different permission coming from different ipaddress.
For example, a user "tester" login to SSH through 192.168.1.1 and another user login with the same login id "tester" but from different ip 192.168.1.2.
How do I restrict 192.168.1.2 to only allow for viewing the content in the home directory while giving 192.168.1.1 full access?
I am running ubuntu 11.04 I'd like to encrypt my home folder. - how can it be done, without creating new user/starting from scratch. -I'd like to keep all the files and desktop settings - the only change should be that the folder is encrypted now.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently bought a new laptop, installed my first linux OS on it (Ubuntu 9.10) and an external hard drive with 500GB on it for backup. For the first few days my external hard drive was working fine, but then eventually it wouldn't let me copy/move/delete stuff to and from it. So I kept trying to change the permissions but it wouldn't let me.
I figured this would be a very very common problem, so I looked up some forums to try out the methods but they didn't work. So I thought I would ask you guys for help because I am pleased with the support. I wouldn't think this would be a hard problem to solve.
I have Ubuntu9.10 installed in my laptop, and I want to give read-only permission on mass storage device (USB flash & external HD) & CD-ROM.
please guide me how this is possible. It should be automatically.
It's necessary for security purpose.
