Search Results for 'chown'

cli-installer refuses to allow set of separate home partition.

Prior to install created 3 partitions with gparted livecd
Installer recognized them as
sda1:20G
sda2:210G
sda3:3g

Select root partition- sda1
“formatting sda1”
Do you want separate home partition- y
Select home partition- sda2
“invalid argument”

Then tried partitioning with installer same result.

Work around: Do not set /home partition in installer.
Post install edit /etc/fstab to mount /dev/sda2 on /home.
Mount /dev/sda2 on /home
mkdir /home/<user>
Copy /etc/skel to /home/<user>
chown -R <user>: /home/<user>
or
After Mount step from above
deluser
adduser

ust wondering if it could be taken a step further, to also install programs that one installs after installing the main system.

Do you mean to give a list of packages and get the program to search for dependencies and download them all for latter installation? I think it is doable. I will need to create a separate button inside Download packages to select “download from list”, and let you select a file with packagenames to download and create a .repo file for easy install later.

I will have a look at this tonight.[/quote]

Yes just like the offline updater, have the packagers that you normal install after installation of the system, stored so they can be installed offline.
And even keep them updated just by checking for updates for the stored packages.

Like having a script to install a package or packagers. Like below as an idea but from a stored off line repo.. Sorry it is a big scrpt.

#!/bin/bash

# Borrowed some of the syntax from DasGeek among others...
# Tested on Debian Buster and Testing
# Version 0.1

##  Define Temp location - "dis" stands for "debian-install-script"

tmd_dir=/tmp/dis

##  Define some variables because I'm lazy

install='apt install'
update='apt update; apt upgrade -y'
user=$USER
#User=$(getent passwd 1000 | awk -F: '{ print $1}')

## Start script
cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.original

if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
        echo "This script must be run as root type: sudo ./dialog.sh"

Hello antiX support, many times I have had the problem that the applications menu when I install a new program the icons do not appear

I made this tutorial in antiX 19 x386 default iceWM environment

I write in terminal:

desktop-menu --write-out-global

and appear:

Writing Menu: jwm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/desktop-menu", line 313, in <module>
    build_menu()
  File "/usr/local/bin/desktop-menu", line 277, in build_menu
    text = file((USER_HOME+"/"+Var.Conf_Dir+"/"+Var.App_File), "w")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permiso denegado: '/usr/share/desktop-menu//.jwm/menu-applications'

Here a picture:

and I looked for the solution and found it, is this:

For icewm

sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/desktop-menu//.icewm/menu-applications
sudo chown -R $ USER: $ USER /usr/share/desktop-menu//.icewm/menu-applications

For jwm

sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/desktop-menu//.jwm/menu-applications
sudo chown -R $ USER: $ USER /usr/share/desktop-menu//.jwm/menu-applications

For Fluxbox

sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/desktop-menu//.fluxbox/menu-applications
sudo chown -R $ USER: $ USER /usr/share/desktop-menu//.fluxbox/menu-applications

but i think this error should not be present, and it is present since version 17.1

Based in:

How can I become the owner of a file/folder that root owns?
https://askubuntu.com/a/40854/145772

How to change permissions from root user to all users?

gksudo spacefm

does not work. Same error.

/home/kaye/.Xauthority

is still there.

I executed this:

sudo chown kaye:kaye ~/.Xauthority

Still the same error message.

It looks like a lot of things are affected. If I open a libreoffice-calc .ods file, I get this:

The lock file could not be created for exclusive access by LibreOffice, due to missing permission to create a lock file on that file location or lack of free disk space.

Maybe it would be easier to just re-install everything.

[Member Xecure]

I suspect .Xauthority has been deleted somehow in your home folder. Check to see if you still have it there.

If you run
gksudo spacefm
does it work?

If it does, you will have a new .Xauthority file in your home folder, but it will be owned by root. To have your user own it, you have to:
sudo chown username:username ~/.Xauthority
where user is the name of your user. If you user is kaye, it would look like:
sudo chown kaye:kaye ~/.Xauthority

@fatmac
many thanks for your reply about linking to users. In the end I didn’t need to use /etc/fstab at all – just mounting the drive and then changing ownership seemed to work fine.

Here is the fix that others might find useful:

1. Open terminal
2. Use gparted to give the drive a label (name) that you want the drive to have: I’ve called mine Samsung-2TB
3. Make a directory for the newly formatted USB-drive at the mount point /media as follows:
sudo mkdir -p /media/Samsung-2TB
3. Change ownership of /media/Samsung-2TB to the username (in this case the username is netbook) as follows:
sudo chown -R netbook /media/Samsung-2TB

That’s it – all done 🙂

/etc/skel/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons
is hardcoded such that it looks to “/home/demo/.config/rox.sourcefor…”

/etc/skel/.gtkrc
contains a hardcoded line:

/etc/skel/.gtkrc-2.0
contains a hardcoded line:
include “/home/demo/.gtkrc-2.0.mine”

^—- Anyone who creates multiple user login accounts will need to manually edit these
and, search to weed out any other such hardcoded references to “demo”.
cd ~
grep -inr ‘[^a-z]demo[^a-z]’

Also, check to verify ownership any permissions of files under each /home/_someusername_ / are correct.
(I have not noticed any anomolies, but would still recommend to check)
If you are unsure how to use the chmod and chown commands,
man chmod
man chown

I haven’t identified any prospective problems related to live-remaster,
aside from (possibly) resetting the autologin_user demo assignement within slim.conf ~~ a detail which you would be able to easily change afterward during next liveboot session.

possible to show username instead of generic ‘–antiX–‘ on top of Fluxbox menu?

Sure, it’s easily changed. You can discover the appropriate file to edit by grep’ping:
cd ~
grep -nr ‘[(][-][-]antiX[-][-][)]’

rej, in case you are stuck with only a FAT32-formatted pendrive in hand & don’t want to reformat it b/c it also contains “other stuff, which must be readable from windows PCs” here’s a workaround:

On the antiX 17 system, launch spaceFM and right-click }}} New }}} Archive.
Name the archivefile “transfer.tar.gz” or similar.
Right-click the new archivefile in spaceFM }} Open }} “archive manager”.

You can drag the archive manager app window off to the side and, browse across your folders (using rox or spacefm) and drag/drop any items of interest onto the archivemanager window. After you have gathered the items of interest, copy the transfer.tar.gz file onto the pendrive.
-=-
When you copy transfer.tar.gz from the pendrive onto another system, you’ll only need to “sudo chown rj:rj /path/to/transfer.tar.gz” then, (as user “rj”) OpenWith archive manager. Then (as user “rj”) launch a file manager and you can drag items from the archive manager window to desired locations in the file manager and the original permissions will be preserved.

_____________________
(note to self: I installed in a fresh antiX 19 instance “pcmanfm” and “pcmanfm-qt” and noted that pcmanfm uses 27MB ram, pcmanfm uses 45MB ram. In comparison, spaceFM (gtk2 version) uses 48MB and rox-filer uses 47MB.

Don’t google the antix forum (it is not in google). Simply click the link caprea has provided and it should open the forum post.
Anyway, the answer linked by skidoo that is linked by caprea, is the 7th reply on that page, also by skidoo. If you have trouble finding it, this is what skidoo says:

aptitude & synaptic utilize the user _apt to download packages.
This error occurs when _apt lacks write permission for either
/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ or an existing file /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/whatever_file_name.deb
so it downloaded the file as root.

solution:
ensure /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ and everything below it are writeable for _apt, e.g. by running
sudo chown -Rv _apt:root /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/
sudo chmod -Rv 700 /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/

Thanks for the explanation.

root@antix19rj:/home/rj# chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER
root@antix19rj:/home/rj# chmod -R 755 /home/$USER
root@antix19rj:/home/rj#

Nothing changed (that is apparent) – permissions still the same.

For proper understanding of Linux rights management, you should read some thorough explanations first!

Thanks – Found some tutorials for this. One is specifically Debian.

[Anonymous]

@ rej

First, please take my apology for the troubles it caused.
I assumed that you have the basic Linux rights management understanding, but I was wrong.

Are you guys testing with the Base or Full version?

Makes no difference on that matter.

sudo chown -R $rj:$rj /home/$rj

and

sudo chmod -R 644 /home/$rj
————–

Deleted home folder and nothing worked – no menu or logout – powered off.

Re-installed 3 times and tried the 644 version 3 times. Same result. Maybe I did something wrong.

You did it very much wrong.

@ BobC

… the same thing happened to me and I ended up needing to reinstall.

No need to reinstall even if, reinstalling is a better chice at that point, since the basic problem stays there.

Rej, it’s so:

In /home is your own main user folder, containing all other user folders and named as your user name.

I suppose it’s called “rj” in your case … /home/rj

Now, the rights are written either as 3 numbers or 3×3 letters.

644 == rw–r– –r– – (3-bit word, a combination of 4 2 1)

If you see a “d” at the beginning, it stands for “directory”.

Each of those numbers (or each group of letter groups) stand for one user: user – group – others

And there is a “$” sign which stands for the variable.

“-R” stands for “recursive”.

Last, normal files (some PDF, TXT, JPG, PNG …) in Linux should have the permission “6” (r + w — read + write) for yourself and the directories should be “7” (rwx) since you need to be able to execute them (enter their contents).

What went wrong in your case is:

There’s no user $ry.

It’s either user “$USER”, a variable that stands for the user which is executing the command, or it’s “rj”.

Will say, if a user “rj” is executing the command “chown $USER:$USER”, it’ll actually automatically do “chown rj:rj”.

After executing:

sudo chown -R $rj:$rj /home/$rj and sudo chmod -R 644 /home/$rj

… you made nonexistent user “$rj” take the ownership of all files and …

… you took him permission to access its own home folder including all the files inside.

Actually, at that point, you’re not even able to shut down your system anymore and if you ever reach the login screen again and try to log in, you’ll get only:

See 2nd screenshot.

If you had been executing:

sudo chown -R rj:rj /home/rj (“rj” would become the owner of /home/rj folder and all other files and folders inside)

sudo chmod -R 644 /home/rj (“rj” would lose the permission to enter /home/rj folder and all files and folders inside would be set to read + write permissions)

sudo chmod 755 /home/rj (“rj” would be granted permission to enter the /home/rj directory and read, write and execute all files inside)

You’ve noticed missing “-R” in the last command?

Example: example.pdf inside folder Documents

“rj” would have right to read and write example.pdf, but it wouldn’t be able to access that file, since it wouldn’t have the rights to open the folder, containing that file itself.

See 1st screenshot … you’ll notice the red file names.

So, that’s what went wrong and why.

Now, if you make it to screw yourself up that way, you’ll (want to, but not necessarily need to) reinstall your system or, you’ll remember that you’re not the only user.

There’s still “root” user that owns and controls the system.

At (re~) boot, you can press “e”, look for the Grub line and add “single” at the end.

See 3rd screenshot.

This will bring you to: See 4th screenshot.

There you can log in as root and repair the damage you’ve done before.

This works with or without GUI — it doesn’t really matter what you choose.
One way or the other, it’s always the “root” user doing its job inside of the Terminal.

See screenshots 5 ~ 8.

Your files are still there and that’s all what matters.

Once at that point, you could easily create a new user and copy your files back to your new home directory.
Or, you simply reboot and log in with your username (“rj”) again and pretend that nothing has happened.

😉

* This was just a very basic explanation, to give you the idea of what / why it went wrong.
For proper understanding of Linux rights management, you should read some thorough explanations first!

P.S.
Thanks Dave! The copy and paste error while changing 755 into 644. 🙁

[Member rej]

Thanks for the input.

The wallpaper issue … Grub background … taking spaces out of the file name …

NEVER use empty spaces and special characters in names. Use only “clean” letters (NO ä, ö, ü, à, é, è …) and “-” or “_”.

As far as the executable files, this has also never happened previously and I have installed it so many times on various computers …

There’s always “the first time”.

To fix it in a matter of seconds, open the Terminal and execute:

CLOSE ALL RUNNING PROGRAMS EXCEPT THE TERMINAL!

($USER == your username / home directory)

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER

and

sudo chmod -R 755 /home/$USER

[Moderator Brian Masinick]

When you change user information it is important to change the file and directory rights for everything in the directory tree used by the user account.

If you changed ziga account details then you will have to make the changes from root. Use su or sudo to gain root access.

Then run the command:

chown -R ziga /home/ziga

You can change the group ID using a GID after the UID:

chown -R riga:riga /home/riga

where the user, group and directory all use the me riga.
