Ubuntu does not allow me to save in /home. It says: You don't have the rights to save the file. Check if you entered the location correctly and try again./home is an 850 GB partition which I mounted there at the installation of Ubuntu. It was meant to save personal data on, but now I can't save anything on it.I can only open what's on it, but I can't save anything

iam trying to send sms using gnokii utility in linux firstly i did sudo apt-get install gnokii after that i got a gnokiirc.gz file in /usr/share/doc/gnokii/sample/gnokiirc.gz file here after that i did gunzip gnokiirc.gz then i transferred my file from the /usr/share/doc/gnokii/sample to home directory by using copy command as copying files to home is not allowed so i used sudo sudo cp gnokii /home after that i changed the port=/dev/ttyUSB2 and model=AT in the gnokiirc file in the home directory and then i wrote gnokii --identify
[Code]....
i followed as in the [URL] and [URL] and except this "Note that you will need read/write permissions on whatever serial port you specify in .gnokiirc."(iam confused what is my serial port is it ttyUSB2)
While reading some papers on securing apache with selinux, I have tried to bind httpd to port 3000 expecting to be blocked by the selinux, since port tcp 3000 isn't on the http_port_t list. However I was able to start the service...
I'm preety sure selinux is enforcing. Also, if I bind httpd to tcp 81 selinux denies the start of the service, as expected!Did I miss something? Why is httpd allowed to start binded to a port that's not explicitly allowed?
I have a dual boot machine. I have changed "My Documents" in Windows 7 to my G partition to the folder "G/Windows data" I have just bought a Buffalo networked 1TB LinkStation backup drive for our two desktops and notebook, and the backup software is useless for Linux and Windows 7 - won't install with anything later than XP! So I will want a linux program to backup the two folders in Drive G to the LinkStation every day, automatically - if that is possible. I now want to change my /Home drive to another folder in the G drive called "G/Ubuntu data"
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently reinstalled Lenny and I am attempting to save my /home directory. I used the graphical install and when it came to the part about partitioning, I created a new /home partition "hdb1" and told the installer to ignore my old /home partition "/dev/hda9".Following the completion of the install, I logged in and changed my /etc/fstab so that /home --> my old /home partition "/dev/hda9". I then mounted the old partition to /home and rebooted the system. Now, when I go to my /home directory >> properties, I can see that the files I had are on the drive (2GB are used) --- but --- I cannot actually see the files??

View 1 Replies View Relatedmy mediacenter is attached to an beamer with the optimal resolution of 1280*720 ubuntu 10.04 doesnt offer me this revolution (on my intel 915 graphis controller). this means i have to add this resolution to the possible resolutions. first i used cvt
Code:
cvt 1280 720 60
and got this result:
Quote:
# 1280x720 59.86 Hz (CVT 0.92M9) hsync: 44.77 kHz; pclk: 74.50 MHz
Modeline "1280x720_60.00" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync +vsync
then i added this to xrandr
Code:
xrandr --verbose --newmode "1280x720" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync +vsync
and
Code:
xrandr --verbose --addmode VGA1 1280x720
now i can select and use the new resolution - until next reboot. after an reboot 1280x720 is again not available. even if i work with sudo - the resolution isnt there....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using a local proxy server VPN'd to another network.
How do I setup either Firestarter or Gufw/ufw to ONLY allow in/out from ONE port? (The one port the proxy uses)
Ex: Firefox is proxied to 127.0.0.1, all ports, and then the proxy picks it up, and sends out on port xxxx, and recieves on port xxxx, then sends back thru 127.0.0.1, back to Firefox.
Any setting/rules I've treid on either Firestarter or Gufw kills the proxy>VPN (Proxy won't connect to remote network)
Addendum: If I start the proxy FIRST, then the firewall, all is good. I'm thinking the proxy uses a port to connect with remote network first, then switches to my configured xxxx port...hmmm

I am just wondering why this is happening. I just tried to use a tutorial to customize my GUI and give myself a custom launcher for Libre Office, and when I tried to copy the edited .desktop file back into my "/adam/usr/shared/applications" folder, it told me I didn't have permission to do this. I tried to edit the folder permissions and it told me that I was not able to because I am not the owner. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to re-install Ubuntu?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a sitution that I am trying to set up.
I have 2 email servers that run on Windows: one is for internal purposes, the other is external purposes.
The external one will receive e-mail from the outside world, clean it up and forward it to the internal one.
There are 2 Windows Vista machines and 2 Unix (OpenSuse Linux) machines.
Since there can be only 1 email server per domain, I thought I would:
-> set up a local domain with ALL of the machines in it
-> set up a DNS server for the local domain
-> set up a MX record in the DNS server for the email
For the external machine, just have a Dynamic IP point to the Windows machine holding the external email server.
Does this sound plausible? Does this make sense?
I had firefox having an inability to download addons, so I edited the dhclient.conf file by entering the following into a terminal:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
When the document opened, I edited the line that starts prepend domain-name-servers to read:
Code:
8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4;
Saved and closed the file. I went back to the terminal and opened the nsswitch.conf file by entering:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf
When the document opens, I edited the line hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 to read:
Code:
hosts: files dns
Saved and exited the document. To be on the safe side, I restarted my computer after making the edits. [/QUOTE]
This was done following the thread someone wrote on a similar error: [URL]. Still does not allow addons...
I have an AMD Athlon Regor 2.8 Ghz Dual Core CPU. About a month ago I overclocked the bad boy to 3.36 Ghz, on stock voltage. Since I have an AMD chip, I have the Cool and Quiet feature. With CnQ on, it never shows more than 2.8 Ghz (my stock speed), even on Full Load. However, with it off, it shows the correct 3360 Mhz all the time. I would like to keep CnQ, as well as my overclock. I've read in forums that it's okay to do that, that CnQ will automatically clock up to overclock when needed. But for me, with CnQ on, it only hits 2.8. Nothing more. Is this an Ubuntu problem? Is there a setting where I can change the maximum allowed speed of my CPU?

The Air's already set to "sharing printers".

View 10 Replies View RelatedI installed OpenSUSE 11.2-KDE about 2 weeks ago, and have been pretty satisfied with it so far. Apart from one niggling little problem. When I went to the 'Password and User Account' page (Configure Desktop>About Me) and tried to change from the default image to something more personal, I got a message box saying "Your administrator has disallowed changing your image." However, on the same page I was allowed to enter personal details and could, if I wished, have changed my password. I logged in as root to see if I could change it from there, but I got the same message. As this is a single-user machine, where I am effectively root/administrator, it would appear I am banning myself from changing my image. So far, I've been allowed to change anything else.

What is your favorite font that is available for Linux (anything but M$ fonts)? They can be monospaced or non-monospaced, unlike the font thread in General that only accepts monospaced ones. However, they *must* be Linux fonts; no M$ or Apple fonts allowed.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a problem where I have certain foo.tgz files that are to big to gunzip in a directory, the box that it is on has limited space in /var/tmp for all intents and purposes. I did the standard gunzip -l to see how big the file was.
How can I look in the .tgz to see what files are there and pull out only the ones that I need. tar -t foo.tgz doesn't seem to work or am I doing something wrong?
Once I do find the file how do I only extract the one file from the .tgz, remember I can't uncompress the entire foo.tgz
I had just got Arch up and running a couple weeks back, and I was following a random user's guide (previous Ubuntu user and newb to Linux in general)-- I think it may have been a mistake. When I was configuring my iptables/ufw, I'd added a rule to iptables allowing ssh to be used from anywhere (I think so anyhow); it came up as something along the lines of 'ALLOW: IN : ANYWHERE: ssh 22' in red font on gufw.
This had been open for about a few days, and I didn't realize the security risk until I learned what ssh is. So is it likely that my system is compromised and needs a full hard drive wipe? hosts.deny remained in its default state, so wouldn't that override the iptables configuration or no? Could my router have kept any potential threats out like it has before despite the rule?
As I view it, Ubuntu has a great security risk in that it still allows internet access when the VPN connection has been lost, for whatever reason. As it is now, when the VPN connection fails you get bumped back to using your regular IP, and whatever you are doing becomes transparent to anyone watching. This is simply unacceptable for an allegedly secure platform. Does anyone know of a way to fix this with a script/program, or is there a distribution/OS that allows this? Windows re-dials the vpn automatically, but still allows internet access in the mean time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Ubuntu 10.10 with encrypted home. I'm new with apparmor. My firefox-3.6.13 is now in enforce mode - with standard profile. With this profile it should have write access only to:
owner @{HOME}/Downloads/* rw,
But I can save files (with standard downloadmanager of firefox) e.g. in $HOME itself and I can't find any other rule, which could allow that. I have thing, that ecryptfs workaround just affects the eCryptFS "part of things" and limitations of normal filenames/paths (in mounted ecryptfs) are still possible. Why can firefox write elsewhere as in to ${HOME}/Downloads? I get also this in kern.log (but not by saving a file as wrote above):
