[SOLVED]getting permission denied

I put this in command line
/mnt/EFI/boot /dev/sda1 vfat rw,flush,tz=UTC
I'm getting a permission error

The only part of the page you referenced - that I can find pertaining to the bizarre command you wrote - is the section describing how you'd find the device path for the UEFI System Partition. If that's the case you need to make sure you read the guides very carefully, as (in that specific use case) the command is thus;
# findmnt /boot/efi
Minus the # of course, as this is to denote that you are logged in as root.
The command you say you wrote into the terminal is in fact the type of output you'd expect from writing the aforementioned command. Having said all this, if you're writing nonsense to the terminal expecting results I think you should start from scratch, or at least double check what it is that you wish to achieve, as that section is for gummiboot which now has its own installer.

    which by the ways works great, after i deleted the udev rule file and rebooted everything is back to normal.

  • Script ran by Lingon gets "permission denied" error

    I am trying to use Lingon to run a script every 60 minutes, and am getting a permission denied error:
    2009/05/27 18:12:52 com.apple.launchd[73] (Time.Machine.monitor.launcher[1006]) posixspawnp("Library/Scripts/User_scripts/Time_Machinemonitor.app", ...): Permission denied
    The script was saved as an application bundle.
    Why would permission be denied? Where does one set permissions??
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It seems a script saved as an "application bundle" will get the "permission denied" message, while a script save as "application" will run normally.
    Note that startup screen should also be off.

  • Getting Permission Denied using sendXMLRequest

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do some admininistration of MapViewer using the Java API, but get the following response:
    ****** response = <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <oms_error> Permission denied for this operation!</oms_error>

    All admin requests are disabled since MapViewer 10.1.2 for security reasons.
    If you need to clear the cache, you either need to do it manually, or disable the caching of a theme entirely.
    Or, there is an undocumented attribute that you can set in mapViewerConfig.xml, which completely disables the security checking for all admin requests:
    <mv_security enforce_sec_role="false" />
    Obviously you need to be very careful as any user can now send admin requests, such as deleting existing data soruces.

  • [SOLVED]Jmtpfs permission denied

    Hello Arch Forums!
    I've mounted my encrypted android phone to ~/mnt (directory I made in my home directory) via jmtpfs. ~/mnt shows up in ls, but not in ranger. When I try to unmount my phone fusermount tells me
    fusermount: entry for /home/switch/mnt not found in /etc/mtab
    How do I get access to my phone, and why won't it unmount?
    Last edited by SwitchDhole (2015-03-08 15:08:24)

    Had to start over. I entered
    sudo mkdir /mnt/mobile
    Instead of using the one I made in my home folder,
    then
    jmtpfs /mnt/mobile
    Output reads
    Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.
    along with info about my device.
    In ranger "mobile" is highlited in black and the far right (preview?) says "not accessible".
    fusermount -u /mnt/mobile
    Gives me
    fusermount: entry for /mnt/mobile not found in /etc/mtab
    EDIT: fusermount works fine as long as I use sudo.
    I can also access my phone via ranger using sudo!

    Around the above dates I installed pcmanfm to try it out, but subsequently uninstalled it.  Thunar was still working at the time.
    Subsequently (today) I installed gvfs to see if it made any difference, but it did not.

    Polkit-gnome was the missing ingredient.  With polkit-gnome installed the udisks.pkla file is not required.  One difference between the usdisks.pkla fix and the polkit-gnome fix is that you are prompted for root's password to mount the drive.  No problem for me there - I prefer it that way.
    I did not decipher from the bug report that polkit-gnome was required for thunar in Xfce - only perhaps for thunar in gnome.  I wish this had been made more clear in the bug report I filed.
    The thunar maintainer for arch wrote: Remove org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla; mounting/unmounting of removable media should continue to function through gvfs.  No mention that polkit-gnome was required as well (for all desktops I imagine).  I already did have polkit installed - just not polkit-gnome.  Polkit was working, just missing some pieces for full functionality.
    In the end, I consider it a bug if a dependency is not listed as required or optional.

  • [Solved] Openbox permission denied on everything.

    Hello fellow archers, I have decided to use openbox, but for everything i need superuser priveliges. E.g. Chromium isnt working, cant set up vlc, it says configuration can`t be saved, cant mount drives with thunar (nor anything else). So if anyone could point me in the right direction, i would be very thankful.

    If you also use PolicyKit and D-Bus (e.g. for automatically mounting drives in Nautilus/GNOME) use:
    exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session
    Place it in your ~/.xinitrc.
    Also, make sure that you have the dbus and polkit packages installed and "dbus" in rc.conf (DAEMONS line).
    Thanks, done that, doesnt change anything, i`ve also added my user to storage and users. I created a PolicyKit file according to udev, but nothing. I`ve installed lxde, and its working fine. I dont see why isnt working, i`ve used openbox in the past, and i didnt come across these thing.

  • What can I do to create a disk image when I continue to get the prompt "permission denied"?  I have run the permission repair, restarted the computer and nothing changes.

    I want to create a disk image for important information.  I continue to get "Permission Denied" even though I have run the disk utility for repair and verify disk permissions.  Is there a solution for this?

    I had same problem as I was trying to build a windows iso following the bootcamp instructions (last evening).  I learned you cannot create a disk image at root due to changes in the operating system made by apple.  As a user (even an admin user) you can only create a disk image below root (such as in your desktop).  Any attempt to creat an image at root will return permission denied.
    The Apple Disk Utility (on three macs I have tried so far) defaults to creating an iso image at the root.  If you tell it to create the image - you immediately get a permission denied error.
    None of the iso creation instructions I have found on apple site so far speak to this.

    SunOS mysvr 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880
    I have a user "myuat" which belongs to a group "pc"
    # id
    uid=30008(myuat) gid=101(pc)
    and in /etc/group
    pc::101:otheruat,myuat
    I am running a compress command to compress a file in a directory and I get permission denied
    # cd /myprod/mycor/mycom/myarch
    # compress mytxtcom.20080804
    mytxtcom.20080804: Permission denied
    # ls -l mytxtcom.20080804
    ----rwx---+ 1 myuat pc 239268 Aug 5 00:23 mytxtcom.20080804*
    # getfacl mytxtcom.20080804
    # file: mytxtcom.20080804
    # owner: myuat
    # group: pc
    user::---
    group::rwx #effective:rwx
    group:hmis:r-- #effective:r--
    mask:rwx
    other:---
    # getfacl /myprod/mycor/mycom/myarch
    # file: /myprod/mycor/mycom/myarch
    # owner: root
    # group: pc
    user::---
    group::rwx #effective:rwx
    group:hmis:r-x #effective:r-x
    mask:rwx
    other:---
    I noticed that if I chown from:
    ----rwx---+ 1 myuat pc 239268 Aug 5 00:23 mytxtcom.20080804*
    TO:
    ----rwx---+ 1 root pc 239268 Aug 5 00:23 mytxtcom.20080804*
    then I will be able to compress the file, why? I wonder why "myuat" id is not able to compress file eventhough it belongs to same group?
    ----rwx---+ 1 myuat pc 42120 Aug 5 00:23 mytxtcom.20080804.Z*
    Any idea? Please help.
    Thanks

    Were you the root user when you compressed the file?
    It looks like the user 'myuat' does not have permission to write to the '/myprod/mycor/mycom/myarch' directory. You need to have write permission to the directory in order to compress a file in it, even if you have permission to write to the file itself.

    The directory underneath the mount point has insufficient permissions.
    This has been a bug in Solaris for at least a decade...

  • Why is permission denied on trying to download the GB English version of Firefox 3.6.10?

    I am trying to roll back to the previosu version of Firefox - v3.6.10 - the GB English version - too see if the problem of Firefox hanging when you search bookmarks goes away. I get permission denied from the FTP site.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
    For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:
    * http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program
    * Firefox 3.6: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
