Pacman doesn't preserve permissions

Hello,
I recently started to grant some people access to my server via SSH. In order to tighten the security a bit (or at least the perception of it), I decided to set the perms of most of my dirs in / and / itself to root:wheel 0751. Unfortunately, pacman reset the permissions of the dirs that were involved in the -Syu procedure back to root:root 0755.
Is there any way that I can get pacman to leave the permissions as they are?

I'm afraid no. That how pacman works. When a package is made the system directories gets permissions root:root. When you install a package, pacman untars it and the permissions are reset to root:root. I would suggest using a small script to upgrade your system:
#!/bin/sh
pacman -Syu
chmod ...
where the last line is modified accordingly. That way, after each upgrade, the permissions will be set to your liking.
I am really sorry to hear that. I also thought about such a script, but that seemed like a workaround to me.

JobOwner doesn't have permissions to use proxy 1 for subsystem CmdExec

Hi All,
I got a strange issue on my SQL Jobs which run with Proxy. Some of the times, the SQL jobs run under job owner, instead of proxy account. Furthermore, it causes the SQL jobs failed.
"JobOwner doesn't have permissions to use proxy 1 for subsystem CmdExec"
Kindly need an assistance on this issue.
Note*: I have another solution by changing the job owner of the SQL jobs to user account of SQL Agent service. But in this case I want to keep current the job owner.
Thanks,
HR

can you confirm if you did the same as explained in the last part of the blog?
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dataaccesstechnologies/archive/2009/10/14/who-owns-my-job-and-who-runs-it.aspx
Also could you confirm if your proxy account has access to the subsystem and if not check this link to update it.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186760.aspx
select ss.subsystem as 'subsystem name', sp.name as 'proxy name' from
msdb.dbo.syssubsystems ss inner join msdb.dbo.sysproxysubsystem sps
on ss.subsystem_id = sps.subsystem_id
Inner join msdb.dbo.sysproxies sp
on sps.proxy_id = sp.proxy_id
You could run this to see if the proxy has access to subsystem.

Bug ! - ATV doesn't preserve iphoto folders

I have @30,000 pictures in iPhoto... and of course, sorted into folders...
But ATV doesn't preserve that when it syncs... everything is flattened, alphabetized, and the most recent albums at the end...
Its totally silly and this isn't just a missing feature.. I see this as a bug ?
Whats up with this Apple ? Why don't you let me be able to find my pictures the way I've organized them on my Mac ?

So the ATV doesn't recognize the folder hierarchy that I've created within iPhoto
Accepted
The albums just appear alphabetically, and I usually have no idea where pictures are, because the albums aren't even listed chronologically.
Mine certainly doesn't do that, yes the tv ignores nested folders, but it lists the albums inside them in the order they appear in the folder in iphoto, furthermore it lists the contents of the first folder first and the contents of the second folder second and so on. It doesn't list them alphabetically at all.
If you don't like them listed that way then change the way they are listed to one you like. (Just drag them into the order you want).
I want my albums to appear slightly differently on the tv than in iphoto, this presents no problem to me at all, as I say I can have my photo albums in any order I choose.

From bad to worse - pacman doesn't respond

last night I installed wine and now arts (artsd) crashes at every start. I already had a problem with kwin crashing occasionally and now strangely ktip keeps popping up and although I tell it not to it's giving me great tips at every start.
allright, one thing at time: obviously I want to get rid of wine first but now pacman isn't responding to any commands and I have to kill it. OK, --version and --help respond but --refresh, --sync and obviously --remove don't.
It is a fresh install of arch 0.7 and pacman is 2.95. I've also tried running pacman before starting x.
any thoughts?

I really don't know what happened, it looks worse than before.
Here's all I can say:
pacman-static didn't help
got pacman 2.9.6 and put pacman-optimize in /usr/bin and ran it
it backed up the dir /var/lib/pacman to /pacman.bak
ran pacman (not sure what, probably --remove wine) said /var/lib/pacman doesn't exist - duh!
ran --refresh - said it couldn't create db
rebooted and saw lots of read-only errors
ran pacman --refresh - can't create db
tried to rename /var/lib/pacman.bak to /pacman - write error
I mentioned in the orig post that after I installed wine, artsd crashes. Now I notice that when I open Konqueror, instead of the menu on the left (dir tree, favs, network, etc) I get an amarok menu! Is this because of arts?
what are the chances of solving this without a new install?

Ntfs-g3 doesn't preserve modification timestamp at copy

I have a data partition mounted using ntfs-g3 like this (from my /etc/fstab):
/dev/sda8 /media/data ntfs-3g defaults,umask=002,fmask=113,gid=100 0 0
Here is the mount point:
drwxrwxr-x 1 root users 4096 Aug 2 04:03 data
All my users are in the "users" group by the way. The odd thing is that when anyone in the "users" group tries to copy files to this partition, the date/time stamp is NOW rather than what was on the dir/files.
Example:
$ cp -a ./Desktop /media/data/
cp: preserving times for `/media/data/Desktop/templog-31-Dec-09-11_04_02.csv~': Operation not permitted
cp: preserving times for `/media/data/Desktop/screenshot2.png': Operation not permitted
cp: preserving times for `/media/data/Desktop/conky-d.desktop': Operation not permitted
I googled around for this but have yet to locate a solution, just the usual conflicting opinions/data. Anyone?
Example1: http://www.tuxera.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=230
I have the result of the investigation. FUSE is right. Things worked
as they should. The operation indeed mustn't be permitted in such cases
according to the POSIX standard.
Namely utimes(2) doesn't permit changing the time stamps because the
effective uid of the cp process doesn't equal the uid of the file
__AND__ the new time stamps are not the current time, __EVEN_IF__
the user has write permission to the file. This is how POSIX wants.
I'll document this issue, thanks again.
Example2: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-8 … art-0.html
re-emerge and exclude the acl use flag. I'm not sure why or what acl does but by turning off that use flag I solved the problem I was having which was identical to yours with rsync.
...the thread goes on to say that this bug was fixed in ntfs-3g "latest" release and we are using > the version mentioned in the thread.
Thanks all!

So is this what you're trying to do?
All I can say is: seems to work on my ntfs-3g 2010.5.22-1
If I understand your fstab correctly, you're setting fmask to 113...maybe rwx is needed to set the date after creation, maybe you could try a using 003

Merging Partitions - forgot to preserve permissions

Hello Archers,
Recently I was merging some partitions on my drive, and stupidly forgot to preserve the permissions when using cp. It seems that all files are now owned by root 755. I have fixed my home directory permissions, but it seems there are a whole bunch of other directories/files on system that need to have different ownership and are screwing things up (/tmp and /var/log for example) is there some sort of list of proper file permissions for arch? or some way to set these back to the way they are supposed to be? I can't even start X because of these permission problems(it works fine on root).
Thanks for any help,
Perogy

You might perhaps restore many of the permissions by forcing pacman to reinstall all your packages, but you would still have to change permissions of /tmp, /var, and so on manually.

[Solved] Localtime is messed up, and pacman doesn't work anymore

Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to Arch Linux but I've succeded so far in installing the base system, setting up my wifi card (wasn't easy) and installing xfce4. When I first installed everything seemed to work fine (wifi, dropbox, pacman, etc.) but I noticed that my time doesn't reflect the current local time. I've selected America/Montreal in rc.conf and through "Orage Globaltime" in xfce4 but both return the UTC instead of the localtime. Also, when I try to get the UTC from Orage, it returns my localtime instead (Montreal)...
So there's definitely something wrong there. I've then had a look at the forums/wiki and found that a network synchronisation should be used to correct the issue (such as ntp) but now pacman can't connect to anything. It returns something like this when I try to install/update/search:
$ sudo pacman -Syu
Password:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.us.leaseweb.net : Connection time-out
^C (keeps on getting time-outs if I don't interrupt)
Some info on my system:

Thanks!

Thanks I'll look at that entry. Still I'd like to point out that this page clearly says that the timezone is to be set in rc.conf, which is a bit confusing. I must've followed this guide to get to my current configuration. I am dual booting with multiple other systems (xubuntu, win7, puppy, crunchbang) so from what I've read win7 might be the problem, but I haven't started it since i installed arch and my time has been off from the start.
Should I simply use NTP now that pacman is working again?
Thanks

PRESERVING PERMISSIONS - when making an external boot drive

hi
Someone in a previous thread i posted some time ago mentioned that i need to make sure my premissions are preserved when i come round to creating an external boot volume on my external lacie hd.
1. I think he was refering to the 'ignore permissions' check box in 'info' ? but i
am unsure what to do here re; to check it or leave it unchecked.
2. can anyone explain what this means so i can understand the logic of the
permissions instruction ?
thanks for your time
didier
eMac 800MHz Power PC G4 Superdrive Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Hi
martinR
Thats becoming alot clearer......
A couple of things
1. If i must leave the 'ignore permissions' box unchecked for the bootable volume i create, then what permissions selection should i have selected in the drop down menu box above it ? I am assuming 'read and write.' ?
2. i'm assuming that after answering this...if i set it all up, when i come to booting from the external volume it will ask my for my password and user name , as is common, and that is what you refer to when you mention the os x security.
Just out of interest:
3 what is an administrator - like for if i want to use the terminal there's this thing about needing to be an administrator.........?
4 by the way, since this site has been redesigned i noticed this week that i didn't get any emails telling me that replies had been posted to my questions.
Could you just confirm that i must have in my settings :
Always subscribe to topics I create: set to Yes (this were on default - no)
Always subscribe to topics I reply to: set to Yes (this was on default - no)
Send subscription emails: set to , in my case - immediately.
sorry to bug you, it's just i recognise your name from previous posts i have made so thought you may be a bit of a pro

Pacman doesn't work after fresh install

Hi everyone, I just installed archlinux on my very old 400Mhz Dell Latitude, but now pacman won't do anything, I can't sync, I can't install anything, ... The install did have some issues, but I'm not sure if that is causing this
The output from 'pacman -Sy'

error: failed to synchronize core:
error: failed to synchronize extra:
error: failed to synchronize commutity:

The pacman log doesn't say anything interesting, the configs look okay. That output is spit out rather quickly too, I'm not sure if it's even trying to use the internet (which is working)
Can you help me?

Moving Public from G4 XServe to new Intel XServe and preserve permissions

We have purchased a new Intel XServe (10.4.8) and need to move the Public folder and Users folder from our old XServe G4 (10.3.9) to the new one, and would like to preserve the permissions.
Both of these are OD replicas; there is an XServe G5 (10.3.9) which is the OD Master.
Apple Tech support tells me it is not possible.
I have tried ditto, tar, scp, and a Finder copy to an external FireWire drive. None of these attempts have successfully preserved the permissions.
tar cf - * | (cd /target; tar xfp -)
ditto -rsrc /oldpath /newpath
I have searched the archives, but not found any answers.

Thank you for the link - I will try Dan's tar syntax tomorrow (and hope there are no differences with 10.3.9).
/usr/bin/tar -cvf - xyzzy | /usr/bin/tar -C target -xvf -
I also like his hint about handling remote files.

Pacman doesn't work. It times out

Hi:
I install arch linux on virtualBox, then I tried pacman -Sy, but it timed out at the end. I try to remove most of the URLs in mirrors, but it doesn't work.
Is there any idea?

is your host name that is set in rc.conf the same as the one in /etc/hosts ? If not, then that is your problem. A mismatch in hostnames will slow down the network along with a host of issues.
if they match, check your mirrors using rankimirrors. It needs python, so you will have to have that installed. It will tell you which are the faster mirrors for you. I don't think it should matter that you are running under virtualbox or otherwise, as long as you have configured the network correctly.

Weekly subscription email doesn't respect permissions

Hello everyone!
We have a group of users subscribed on a weekly basis to a folder that has many subfolders. The subscription is active for the parent folder and all subfolders to the complete depth.
The group of users subscribed don't all have access to every single subfolder. Some users have access to some subfolders, others have access to other subfolders. However, in the weekly subscription email, ALL new documents from all the subfolders are listed, and the permissions are checked at the time they click the link. If they aren't allowed to read the document, they get an 'access denied' error at that time.
Is this how the subscription is supposed to work? A bulk subscription email won't leave out the documents the user isn't allowed to see?
Thanks in advance!
Fallon Will

Hi Fallon,
your configuration is correct and the behaviour you have detect is as well correct.
This is a "missing feature". The subscription service doesn't regards the permission because the service generates the list independent of an user context.
Best Regards
Frank

Pacman doesn't upgrade and update the system properly

It's been almost one and half months that my system is not getting upgrade or update, what all I go t is :
bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_11:28:06_Mon Sep 06:/etc> sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
Here is my mirrorlist url ,which I am using for long long time:
Server = http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis … po/os/i686
Server = http://archlinux.mirrors.uk2.net/$repo/os/i686
Server = http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
Now please look at the installed packages..I am paranoid about systemupgrade and update and I do it very frequently....
