'the command I would use to change the group permission to write and the user and other to read and execute for the file "generate-report"' Sounds simple enough but I cant get it to work at all, tried doing a search in google and on the forums here to no avail. Is it possible to do in one command or will I need two?
Ive tried:
chmod g+w, uo+rx generate-report
And numerous other variants all with no luck.

Just starting to learn Linux.

View 3 Replies View RelatedInspite of having 755 permissions on the chown command, it seems the command can be executed by the root only. I was under the impression that the 'x' permission for 'others' can give executable rights to the normal user too, which does not seem to be the case here. Just curious to know, if not the file perms itself, what controls the execution of the command?

View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem: permissions for rsync and BackinTime. Setup: Ubuntu 11.04, Two internal HD, #1=main, single boot, #2=backup drive. Question: How do I set up my 2nd HD with correct permissions? Background: I had previously a dual boot XP+10.04 with a 2nd HD formatted as NTFS. With this I was able to use my rsync and backintime to my 2nd HD with no issue. My new set up is EXT4 on both HD.
(I even tried to reformat my 2nd HD as NTFS, but that didnt fix the issue) I followed [URL] to mount the 2nd HD and get permissions. But now when I run backintime i get this error: [E] Error: rsync: opendir "/home/myhome/.ssh" failed: Permission denied (13) I did my requisite reading for a newbie, and am stuck. I ran backintime as root, and it backed up ok. How do I run my user version of backintime? (i.e. How do I fix the permission issue?)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to preseed a 10.04 install, and it's giving me a lot of trouble. I've been using [url] as a guide, but I can't seem to make it work.
I have ripped the x64 alternate install .iso to my hard drive, inserted the preseed files (details on this later) and remastered and burned the iso. When I put the disc into my test PC, it boots up to the CD, checks for English keyboard, enters my custom install option and then fails. It brings up a red screen that says, "Incorrect CD-ROM detected. The CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for installation. Please insert a suitable CD to continue with the installation."
The way I've understood the documentation is that there are 2 files that needed edited, and one file that needs created: edit /isolinux/text.cfg, edit /isolinux/isolinux.cfg, and create /preseed.cfg
Here is what I currently have in those files:
Code:

The preseed.cfg is 95% copied from the ubuntu documentation, I've only made the changes that are necessary. I'll admit I do not know what most of the boot parameters in the /isolinux/text.cfg file mean.
In my /media directory, there is a sub-directory that doesn't point to any drive (mounted or unmounted) - when I look at it in nautilus, it looks like a folder with an x on it, and I can't actually get inside the folder through the terminal. It has the same name as an external hard drive that I used to own, but has since been repartitioned. I think that, at one point, the drive was removed from my computer without unmounting, and its listing in /media was never removed (I left my home for a weekend and when I got back the drive didn't work and this listing was there in /media. I think my roommate might have done something to it, but he hasn't admitted to anything). Is there any way to remove this listing?

Everything seems to be going well except for the fact that when I do "df -h", the size of my 1TB hard drive is reported as being only 908GB. I could understand if it was off by a few gigs but 92? The result is the same with the graphical "Disk Usage Analyzer." However, Under System>Administration>Disk Utility the correct number is displayed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having weird problem with Grub Menu listing during Grub display at Boot. I Multiboot with Lucid Lynx, openSUSE and Windows7. My Grub is installed along with Ubuntu. I did not install bootloader when installing openSUSE.
Now during boot Grub Menu displays five entries for openSUSE. However when I did grub-update in the terminal it shows only one image for openSUSE in terminal.

But again Grub Customizer shows or lists five entries for openSUSE. (Please see the attached screenshot)
There are no problems during boot (except that Ubuntu takes a bit longer to load). I am really annoyed by the multiple SUSE entries in the GRUB and also by the fact that Ubuntu takes a bit longer than normal to boot.
