[SOLVED] Dropbox - can't run as normal user, but as root

I have problems with running dropbox as normal user. I installed dropbox from AUR. It is successfully installed. But when I type in terminal dropboxd I get:
WARNING: Cannot write to "/home/USERNAME/.dropbox/dropbox.pid"
I can run dropboxd as root from terminal, but that way default Dropbox folder is created with root permissions in my /home directory. Is there some way to run dropbox as normal user and having Dropbox folder with permissions for my user?

Thanks toad and pickboy87 for advices. It's my fault, and lack of concetration after long hours of staring at screen.
Solution is this:
sudo chown -R USERNAME /home/USERNAME/.dropbox
Btw. Ubuntu do all automatically, with Dropbox install, all I need is to follow on screen directions, and next, next.:lol:
edit:
everything works out of the box with dropbox install on other Arch machine i tried, probably I messed something with configuration somewhere before.

Running admin server user as non-root

Hi All,
I have a requirement to run admin server user as non-root. Is this possible and how to go about it.
giovi

Web Server traditionally runs with a process parentage something like:
Admin Server -> WatchDog -> Primordial Process -> Worker Process
The Worker Process runs with the UID specified in the configuration (nobody, webservd, etc). This is the process that is actually doing the work of being a web server.
The Primordial Process typically runs with the UID specified in teh configuration. The primordial process never handles requests. Its role is to quickly create replacement worker processes if the worker process unexpectedly terminates.
The WatchDog process typically runs with privileged (read "root") access in order to be able to bind to the privileged ports of the OS (any port below 1024). Without privileged access no bind can occur. Once the Watchdog performs the bind it creates the Primordial process, delegates ownership of the port, etc. From then on its role is to watch for unexpected termination of the Primordial process and, if needed, create a new one.
The Admin server is an optional part of the configuration. When used, it also needs to have the necessary rights to bind to the privileged ports.
So then - the only way to allow the Admin Server or the Watchdog run non-privileged and still be able to perform their jobs is to loosen the restrictions on the privileged ports themselves. On Solaris 10 you could do this with:
# usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr webservd
Then become webservd and start the process.
Note that the Admin Server's UID is set in admin-serv/config/server.xml (there may be a screen for this in the GUI). Look for the <user>root</user> element.

Firefox/Mozilla won't run as normal user [SOLVED]

I have had this weird thing happen, where Mozilla and Firefox wont' work as a normal users. I fixed this temporarily by allowing non-group rwx access to /tmp, however somehow the problem has returned again.
Has anyone else had this? I'm not sure what log to check for errors either. Basically, is starts loading, then exits before starting

seems to be fine here

Adobe Updater can be run only by users with administrator rights error on 2003 termianl server

I just installed the latest security update of 8.1.7 on my two terminal servers. Now when each users logs in, they get the following error.
Insufficient Rights (title)
Adobe Updater can be run only by usrs with administrator rights.
They simply click OK and it goes away but it is very annoying. It seems like every time their is an update to Adobe Reader, something goes wrong.
Does anybody have any thoughts on how to stop the Adobe Updater from loading when my users login? Thanks,
Justin

I ended up finding the solution at this link.

Re: Insufficient Rights Window for non-admins after 8.1.2 successful install
Here is the solution I found.
"Renaming %program files%/Common Files/Adobe/updater5 to something else removed the error."
This seems like a brute force approach, but it does work. I checked the event logs after doing this and don't see any errors in the App or System logs. This folder is the location of AdobeUpdater.exe and all of the Adobe .cer files, so it makes sense that this works, but seems like it should generate other errors...
This is not how I wanted to solve the problem but it did solve it.

[Solved] xf86-video-ati low fps under normal user, fine under root

Hi again. someone must had played HL1. So did I, but I had to run it under root to get the sufficient performance. I tried both OpenGL and DirectX drivers.
At 640x480 the FPS is ~5. At 1024x768 it's "1".
after some digging I found that glxinfo produces different output for me and for root:
# glxinfo
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
# sudo glxinfo
OpenGL vendor string: DRI R300 Project
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
How do I permit the normal user to utilize HW acceleration?

Can I run a different user as the managed server than the admin server?

Under unix, can I run a Weblogic 7 managed instance as a different user than the

You mean a different UNIX user? Yes, that should be fine.

Firefox does not run as normal user

I installed firefox but it won't run unless I su. This is obviously a problem for me, and just about anyone. I tried deleting the .mozilla-firefox folder. I also tried reinstalling it. Nothing I tried has worked.

Ack, there is something wrong with mozilla in arch. I had the same results on several machines and installations. Some files, at least one would be enough, is placed in the wrong place, I guess (considered to be placed in ~/.mozilla, but is in /opt/mozilla/ f.e.), and is set to be root's when you run mozilla for the first time as root. I never took the time to explore it, but I believe to remember I solved this, back yonks, twice by recursive changing permissions of the whole mozilla trees. Would be worth to give it a closer look... Anyway, since then I never touched mozilla based browsers as su, if in need to do such things I use 'links'. Furthermore, if you tweak your users permissions, there is no need to run a gui browser as root (*), as far as I am concerned. Give sticky permission for a "staff" group to write to /usr/src/incoming, f.e, and add your account to the group, will give you what you need to fetch sources as a user, and compile them as root in place. For whatever you will have to fetch, there will be a solution using aglp, acl, what ever you use and name it.
(*) Exception:
I found out epiphany frequently locks up fetching http://www.archlinux.org if you are a user, but not if you are root. Funny, isn't it?

Photoshop crashes when run as normal user

Dear all,
Ever since I installed CS4 Suite with Photoshop Extended, my Photoshop would crash as soon as I open a file. This would not happen if I am logged on as administrator on my Windows XP, but any other type of profile has the problem.
I tried: reinstallation, clearing the Photoshop preference file, testing whether some startup service is causing it, and created new user profiles, but neither helped.
Since, I did not have this problem with the CS3 suite, I assume that CS4 tries to do something that only administrators are allowed, but what ?
Anyone with similar experiences or advice ?
Regards,
WM

I think I might have found something more. I reinstalled the video driver to be on the safe side. Then ran photoshop as administrator, no problem. Then as normal user and I got the video driver message, as well as a crash when opening a file. Then I ran it again as administrator and it was not complaining about the video driver. So maybe photoshop accesses a part of my video driver that due to file permissions is only accessible to the administrator, any ideas of what that would be ?

Can't login with normal user via XDM

Hi everyone,
I have installed XFCE with XDM. The problem is, that when xdm loads, when I enter my normal user name and password the screen blinks and drops me back to xdm. When I enter root with password everything is fine (but I don't want to use root obviously).
I have copypasted .xinitrc and .xsession from root to home/jonas/. Here are the contents of
.xinitrc: http://pastebin.com/n2u4qfLD

What am I missing? Thank you in advance

ITunes accounts can be accessed under one User but not a second User.

Hi
I'm having problems setting up iTunes on a new PC I've recently purchased. On my old PC - (Vista), myself (David) and my wife (Chris) had different Windows Users accounts, both with separate iTunes accounts which we could access with no problems.
On my new Pc (Windows 7) I have downloaded iTunes and can access my iTunes account with my ID and password when the PC is logged in as 'David' as the User, as can my wife BUT when the PC the PC is logged in as my wife as the User 'Chris' neither of us can access our iTunes account with our relative ID and passwords. We get the message.. "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.".
I have seen this sentence on Google and on various forums including this one but cannot find a solution which fits my problem which is our iTunes accounts can be accessed when the PC is logged in under one User but not a second User.
Has anyone have ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?
Thank you

[Solved] Postfixadmin, can't run setup.php

First time for me to try setting up any server stuff with arch, so forgive if I come across as clueless
The story is I followed this page from the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SO … #SMTP-AUTH to setup postfix, dovecot and postfixadmin (without smtp-auth as I have to use my isp's server for outgoing mail) and have a few issues but I think the first place I need to start is postfixadmin.

Any suggestions on what I can try to get postfixadmin's setup.php to run will be much appreciated

Just worked out I had an errant dns sending me to a postfixadmin on another machine which I'd never used ... god do I feel stupid!
Now that the url is sendng me to the correct machine (and copy of postfixadmin) I'm getting a 403 permissions errors when I try to open setup.php, the config.inc.php I posted btw is the correct one
When following the arch wiki page I put a symlink called postfixadmin in /srv/http which points to /usr/share/webapps/postfixAdmin and then followed this part of the wiki to set permissions:
chown -R nobody:nobody /home/httpd/html/postfixadmin-2.1.0/
cd /home/httpd/html/postfixadmin/
chmod 640 *.php
cd /home/httpd/html/postfixadmin/admin/
chmod 640 *.php
cd /home/httpd/html/postfixadmin/images/
chmod 640 *.png
cd /home/httpd/html/postfixadmin/languages/
chmod 640 *.lang
cd /home/httpd/html/postfixadmin/templates/
chmod 640 *.php
cd /home/httpd/html/postfixadmin/users/
chmod 640 *.php
That's directly from the wiki, obviously in my case I changed the paths from /home/httpd/html to /srv//http so as to reflect my setup. Assuming the permissions on the wiki are correct I don't know why I get the 403 error when I try opening the setup.php file
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
Any ideas?

[solved] xorg won't start as normal user?

Just finished a new install on a computer and am unable to start x as a standard user. It works fine as root though
checking my logs there are no Errors though stopping the x server from running.

I take it that you want X to start as soon as you boot-up ?
If so, your /etc/inittab file needs editing, as 'root'. Here's mine which
starts KDE at boot-up:
# /etc/inittab
# Runlevels:
# 0 Halt
# 1(S) Single-user
# 2 Not used
# 3 Multi-user
# 4 Not used
# 5 X11
# 6 Reboot
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault: ### <<< UNCOMMENT THIS LINE. Ensure the others are commented-out
rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single
rm:2345:wait:/etc/rc.multi
rh:06:wait:/etc/rc.shutdown
su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin -p

x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon #### <<<< UN-COMMENT THIS LINE. Ensure the others are commented-out
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
# End of file
I've indicated the lines which need un-commenting.
Just ensure that you comment-out the rest, as shown.
Hope this helps...
