Ubuntu :: Sudo WGet Piped To TAR Has Wrong File Owner

Jan 4, 2010

I'm trying to download a file and extract it in one line, but the extracted file is owned by me instead of root even though I'm using sudo:
Code:
sudo sh -c 'wget [URL]'
If I don't try to extract the file, it is owned by root as I expected:
Code:
sudo sh -c 'wget [URL]'

Debian :: Sudo Results In Strange File Owner

Mar 16, 2010

I like the "Ubuntu" sudo philosophy and wanted to setup this sudo the same way on my Debian system. I was happy when I found that I just have to do the following:
-create a group 'admin'
-adduser christian admin
-visudo
-add the line: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

Then I tried sudo rm -rf / to check if sudo works. All worked fine. No, seriously, I can move around files that belong to the root and such, so sudo somehow works. But when creating new files with sudo, like e.g.
tar xzf myZippedTarball
these files belong to user 41034 and to the group users instead of root root:
drwxr-xr-x 7 41034 users 4096 2009-11-01 01:07 libsvm-2.9
Certainly, this is not the way I want to have. The user 41034 doesn't even show up in /etc/passwd...

Ubuntu :: Cannot Login After File Owner Changed From Root To User

Mar 21, 2011

I used to use the root account for everything for more than a year then I moved to a user account for security reasons but almost all files had root as owner so I could not go 5 minutes without having to change to root and then change the owner of a file to my username to make it usable. I got fed up with this so I just changed the owner of every file on the system to my username instead of root.

command chown -R myusername * in the base directory /

Everything was fine until I restarted and the login screen became non functional and I got 2 error messages related to xsession and gnome errors. I think this is because the login screen might have its own user account and it cant access the files for the login process because it is owned by myusername. So my question is what is the user-name of the login account and what folders/files need to have their owner changed so the login process can work? I'm on 10.04 lucid.

General :: Cvs Import File Group Owner ?

Jun 11, 2010

This is about ubuntu 10.04

I can import projects to my cvs repository only when the repository set to group owner cvs. Which is fine to me.

But I found the project folder/files that I imported into the repository have group name other than cvs (in fact, that's my username). And that prevents others to check out my code.

General :: Viewing Owner Of File On Windows Share

Mar 16, 2011

I'm interested in viewing the owners of files on a Windows Server 2003 share (mounted on a Linux computer). These "owners" would be users in Active Directory. If it's not possible to see the username, I wonder if it will at least show a unique identifier. Currently it says all files are owned by root with an "ls -l".

General :: Wget File And Getting Error 404 File Not Found?

Mar 2, 2011

when i wget aro2220.com it displays
--2011-03-02 16:35:58-- url... 127.0.1.1
Connecting to aro2220.com|127.0.1.1|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 177 [text/html]
Saving to: 'index.html'
100%
2011-03-02 16:35:58 (12.4 MB/s) - 'index.html' saved [177/177]

However, when I look into the file it is actually blank saying something like "It works! This is the default web page for this server" which can't be correct since that is not what Aro2220.com actually displays.

Furthermore, when I try to wget files I've put on the server for myself it returns a 404, file not found.

Software :: Resume An Interrupted Wget Using Wget.log?

Jun 19, 2011

If a wget download is interrupted (like if I have to shutdown prematurely), I get a wget.log with the partial download. How can I later resume the download using the data in wget.log? I have searched high and low (including wget manual) and cannot find how to do this. Is it so obvious that I did not see it? The wget -c option with the wget.log as the argument to the -c option does not work. What I do do is open the wget.log and copy the URL and then paste it into the command line and do another wget. This works but the download is started from the beginning, which means nothing in the wget.log is used.

Ubuntu :: Possible To Use Piped Command As Opposed To An All Out Complex Method

Dec 1, 2010

I would like to keep this simple and if possible use a piped command as opposed to an all out complex method.I have a script that does many things for me, and one of them builds a basic simple system report (I know about lshw, but this is for me to learn as well as be functional)

I would like to add another pipe to remove the"model name:" portion.I do not really want to use the store in a variable first solutions if I can help it.

General :: Wget A File With Correct Name When Redirected?

Jun 23, 2011

I was unable to find an answer to something that (I think) should be simple:

If you go here: [URL]

like so:

wget [URL]

you'll probably end up with a file called "download_script.php?src_id=9750"

But I want it to be called "molokai.vim", which is what would happen if I used a browser to download this file.

Question: what options do I need to specify for wget for the desired effect?

I'd also be ok with a curl command.

General :: Downloading A RAR File From Mediafire Using WGET

Jul 19, 2011

Example: [url]

This was what I tried...wget -A rar [-r [-l 1]] <mediafireurl>

That is to say, I tried with and without the recursive option. It ends up downloading an HTML page of a few KB in size, while what I want is in the range 90-100 MB and RAR.

What happens with MediaFire for those who may not be aware, is that it first says

Processing Download Request...

This text after a second or so turns into the download link and reads

Click here to start download..

Server :: Passing Piped Emails On To Qmail Again?

Aug 3, 2010

I am doing this project for our school. Basically we want to pipe all incoming emails to a script which filters out certain messages (not only spam but duplicates, large messages, etc). If they fail certain criteria, the script simply does nothing.If they pass , then the script should pass the entire message (headers and body) back on to qmail to send. The piping part is not a problem, but I am stuck with the next part. Is there a way to pass the headers and body back to qmail for it to process and send, as if it received it the first time?Some details:A catchall email account is created via Plesk control panel on linux (centos).THe .qmail file in /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/catchall/ is edited to include the line:-|/path/to/pipe/handler.phpThe handler.php file simply reads the entire message (headers and body) and they are then parsed and analysed.
