[SOLVED]hddtemp without sudo

Hello!
Is there anyway of getting hddtemp to work without having to key in the password? I have tried adding
shylock ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hddtemp
Also tried:
%hwmon ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hddtemp
What I'm trying to do is making an alias like I did with gpu temp
alias gpu?='nvclock -i | grep temp'
For Hddtemp as well. Now my only option left is to echo my password and feed it to sudo, which is not a good idea I think. Any help?

Thanks for all your replies. Ok I managed to start it ith another reboot after reinstalling netcat.
nc localhost 7634 shows me :
|/dev/sda|???|ERR|*
Yes it's /dev/sda, I'm getting temperature by using sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
When I try without sudo it says /dev/sda open: Permission Denied.
Here's mount output:
$ mount

EDIT: Ok I dont know what happened now i cant even use sudo?
$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda

Efibootmgr without sudo

Lets say I want to reboot into windows. I need to change the boot order using sudo efibootmgr -n, but the problem is I need to type the root password everytime.
How to make this process passwordless? I tried making a sudoers rule for efibootmgr but no luck.

Do you want help doing this with sudo, as your post implies, or do you want help doing it without sudo which is implied by your title? Either one is possible, but only with better information.

[SOLVED] alias with sudo: Password request malfunction

Okay so here are two cool little system-maintenance related aliases, as suggested by "pacman tips" Wiki:
Show dirs not owned by any package:
alias pacman-disowned-dirs="comm -23 <(sudo find / $ -path '/dev' -o -path '/sys' -o -path '/run' -o -path '/tmp' -o -path '/mnt' -o -path '/srv' -o -path '/proc' -o -path '/boot' -o -path '/home' -o -path '/root' -o -path '/media' -o -path '/var/lib/pacman' -o -path '/var/cache/pacman' $ -prune -o -type d -print | sed 's/$[^/]$$/\1\//' | sort -u) <(pacman -Qlq | sort -u)"
Show files not owned by any package:
alias pacman-disowned-files="comm -23 <(sudo find / $ -path '/dev' -o -path '/sys' -o -path '/run' -o -path '/tmp' -o -path '/mnt' -o -path '/srv' -o -path '/proc' -o -path '/boot' -o -path '/home' -o -path '/root' -o -path '/media' -o -path '/var/lib/pacman' -o -path '/var/cache/pacman' $ -prune -o -type f -print | sort -u) <(pacman -Qlq | sort -u)"
typically I edit those into my "/etc/bash.bashrc" instead of "~/.bashrc", but there's no difference there. The thing is, when I invoke this alias,
as regular user, it promptly requests [sudo] password, as it should, but after a brief moment the console returns to normal, there's no time for to even input the password, like this:
[danilo@dandelion ~]$ pacman-disowned-dirs
[sudo] password for danilo:
[danilo@dandelion ~]$
PS: If my password is still cached, it will work normally (my timeout is set to 30 min).
here's my "/etc/bash.bashrc" at any rate:
# /etc/bash.bashrc

# [[ $- != *i* ]] && return

You'd suppose it would work, but no, same error... Perhaps it traces back to some other configuration file...
By the way, the second command, I didn't paste it correctly; There's no "&&" before the pacman query part of the command. Fixing the post now...
Well, anyways, I believe I got'em working, I appended a useless command that requires elevation AND works properly, like this:
alias pacman-disowned-dirs="sudo true && comm -23 <(sudo find / $ -path '/dev' -o -path '/sys' -o -path '/run' -o -path '/tmp' -o -path '/mnt' -o -path '/srv' -o -path '/proc' -o -path '/boot' -o -path '/home' -o -path '/root' -o -path '/media' -o -path '/var/lib/pacman' -o -path '/var/cache/pacman' $ -prune -o -type d -print | sed 's/$[^/]$$/\1\//' | sort -u) <(pacman -Qlq | sort -u)"
And:
alias pacman-disowned-files="sudo true && comm -23 <(sudo find / $ -path '/dev' -o -path '/sys' -o -path '/run' -o -path '/tmp' -o -path '/mnt' -o -path '/srv' -o -path '/proc' -o -path '/boot' -o -path '/home' -o -path '/root' -o -path '/media' -o -path '/var/lib/pacman' -o -path '/var/cache/pacman' $ -prune -o -type f -print | sort -u) <(pacman -Qlq | sort -u)"
...Still, it's a r@t workaround, not a proper solution, so I'll ask to not mark this as solved yet. Maybe someone can backtrack this properly.
Thank you, for the quick reply, much appreciated.

Resetting DHCP without sudo or admin password?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this query but I am trying to reset the DHCP lease automatically so I can create a little "logout" application in my internet café.
I've found the following commands that do the trick but they require the admin password:
sudo ipconfig set en0 BOOTP; sudo ipconfig set en0 DHCP
Any ideas on how this could be done without the admin password? What about with AppleScript?
Many thanks in advance,
Galen

No a hook is initiated by a launch daemon via launchd. So the shell script is being run by the system, not the user (admin or otherwise). ofcourse you would need to be an admin/sudoer to set it.
But why do you want to release the DHCP binding on logout? User processes shouldnt really be doing anything to change that to make it need to be released/renewed unless there is a wider network issue.

[SOLVED] systemd without consolekit: systemd-cgls, no /user/myname

Hi!
While i was facing a problem with network-manager-applet, that needs to be started as root without consolekit, otherwise the applet won't start, i probably understood where is the issue:
systemd-cgls systemd:/user/
systemd:/user/:
└ root
└ c1
├ 282 sudo nm-applet &
├ 283 nm-applet &

├ 487 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd
└ 489 /usr/lib/gvfs//gvfs-fuse-daemon -f /root/.gvfs
There is only root user.
What i did: I removed consolekit after rebuilding polkit with systemd support. Usb automount works as expected.
I tried to add "session optional pam_systemd.so" to all files in /etc/pam.d only to give it a try, but nothing changed.
Here instead there is my xfce4.service that starts my xfce4 session:

Any idea?
Thank you.

[Solved]Hibernating without a swap, now systemd can't complete booting

Tried hibernating without a swap (by mistake, I forgot that I don't use a swap nowadays!), now systemd can't complete booting.
But, if I remove the init=whatever/systemd line from the bootloader, the old init system does its work nicely.. (though that's a poor permanent solution. )
I have saved the 1000+ line journalctl log, but have no idea where to start looking for the problem.
https://www.pastee.org/j3htz
It seems to be something to do with filesystem errors, as the following line is the last shown by systemd before stopping.
Nov 11 20:19:45 manasijd systemd-fsck[413]: Home: clean, 85694/1221600 files, 4430911/4883456 blocks
But running fsck(after unmounting the partitions) from the 'emergency mode' systemd drops me into, the results come up clean.
Any idea what can be wrong, or what exactly to look for in the log ?
Last edited by manasij7479 (2012-11-12 11:54:55)

Seems like I was correct about the filesystem problem @ /home .
Backed up the home folder and nuked the ext4 partition and created a new btrfs in its place.
Everything seems to be fine now, after copying back the folder (few issues with kde not cooperating, but nothing major) .
Btw, can anyone try to replicate this on a 'torture' rig or a virtual machine, seems to be a pretty important bug ?

[SOLVED] *term without Alternative Screen

I'm using urxvt without Screen, and it's giving me some trouble with fullscreen programs like less.
The behaviour I'm trying to reproduce is like Screen's 'altscreen off'. (this all works fine in screen btw, with that option on. but I'm trying out urxvt-tabbed.)
So for example with less what I want is if you quit halfway in a document, what was visible remains visible on the screen.
I'm getting some really messed up behaviour though.
With secondaryScreen/Scroll both false: text remains, but the prompt is moved to the top of the screen.
With only secondaryScreen true: text is cleared after quitting (really annoying with less -F) and prompt to next line.
With only secondaryScroll true: whole screen is cleared after quitting and prompt is moved to top of screen.
With both true: text is cleared after quitting and prompt to next line (same as only secondaryScreen true)
Last edited by Gilneas (2008-01-13 04:30:20)

Have a look at http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/noaltscreen.html
It seems, when the secondaryScreen is turned off, vim less etc. will use the rmcup capability to clear the screen instead. The page above includes an alternative terminfo file for urxvt to disable this capability, so you'll be able to turn it off simply by setting $TERM.

How to run eg. 'make' without sudo?

Hi,
After upgrading from Snow Lepard to Leo I understood I am not able to run Unix commands in Terminal (eg.'make'). System tells me that there is no 'make' command available. But if I do 'sudo make' - it is there and available.
So my 'nix environment created and used for years is no longer healthy. How I can return to my previous status when 'sudo' was not necessary? I hate to alter all scripts with 'sudo' or run those with 'sudo' upfront.
Alex

In your developer suite, under forms developer you can find a link called "run a form on web"
open the link
in form field give the file name with full path
for instance c:\forms\test_form.fmx
before running the form you need to compile the same in your forms builder 10g
give the username/password@connnectionstring in the user id field
ensure that the web host and web port fileds are filled up with the relevant details.
if u don't know, run the form from the form builder to get the name of the host and port number
for instance
http://server_name:port_num/forms/frmservlet
here server_name will be replaced by the machine name you work and port will be after the colon (:) sign
now press the run form button.
Make sure that oc4j instance is running before you try it
if oc4j instance is not running, then start the oc4j instance from the form developer link

I cannot enter my system anymore. I confused the root directory with home.
Now when I try to enter into my system it complains. The KDE desktop doesn't fully load.
It creates a window where it says: Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directory full?) Check your installation.
Is there anyway to fix it?

I try to fix it by making:

I rebooted and at least the desktop loads with some problems still. It says in a lot of windows that it can't write into the configuration file : /home/david/.kde4........ Contact with your admin

[solved] kde without arts - problem with aplay/knotify

Hi,
I finally got convinced to switch of arts for kde. Amarok runs much better now but I face a problem with knotify/aplay.
With arts not active knotify won't play sounds anymore. knotify is the program responsible for kde's bells and whistles, like playing a sound when you open or close a window etc.
knotify specifies an option for an external player, which I think is the thing to use in case you don't use arts.
I configured that option to use aplay, the sound replay program provided by alsa. However, that has problems. Many kde sounds come with 8khz sample frequency. If I play one of these sounds with aplay their playback frequency is much to low and the sound is heavily distorted. It seems the downmixing does not work.
If I use aplay -Ddmix or -Dduplex I get following error:
Playing raw data 'KDE_Beep.ogg' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:857: Sample format non available
I think that may have something to do with my .asoundrc or maybe there is another program to use for sound playback I don't know about. Also, I could be that knotify IS supposed to play the sounds even without arts running and something else is wrong.
Here is my .asoundrc, any advice is welcome:
# Set default sound card
# Useful so that all settings can be changed to a different card here.
pcm.snd_card {
type hw
card 0
# Allow mixing of multiple output streams to this device
pcm.dmix {

# CONVERSION PLUG #
# Setting the default pcm device allows the conversion
# rate to be selected on the fly.
# duplex mode allows any alsa enabled app to read/write
# to the dmix plug (Fixes a problem with wine).
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "duplex"
# Apparently this is wrong (breaks mplayer for me opening the device)
#ctl.!default {
# type plug
# slave.pcm "snd_card"
# AOSS #
# OSS dsp0 device
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "duplex"
# OSS control for dsp0 (needed?...this might not be useful)
ctl.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "snd_card"
# OSS control for dsp0 (default old OSS is mixer0)
ctl.mixer0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "snd_card"
Cheers,
Dominik

Ok, I came to a solution.
My .asoundrc was ok. It was aplay that I wasn't aware of it couldn't handle .ogg files, it tried to play it anyway and that's why I got garbled sound output *headdesk*
I installed alsaplayer, after running it once I edited .alsaplayer/config to use the "text" user interface by default. Setting alsaplayer as external player for knotify seems to work.
However, knotify won't let me play sounds in quick succession, so I lose a knotify sound every now and then.

[SOLVED] unrealircd without ssl?

Hey guys, I recently picked up a raspberry pi and decided to try out running archlinux for my needs which are basically a mumble server, unrealircd server and a web server. I've run into an issue with unrealircd, one that's happened to me on windows as well. For whatever reason I can't get the configuration to work with unrealircd + ssl. The second i install the non ssl server and run my .conf it's fine and i can connect. Is there a package without ssl? I'm still new to the whole pure command line linux and all that so i'm not sure how to easily browse the different packages. So either if there's a non ssl package, or a way to disable ssl in the .conf would be lovely to know about. Thanks guys!
Last edited by hotlikedimes (2012-07-27 01:25:29)

What error messages specifically are you getting with unrealircd and ssl? I don't remember that being much of a challenge to set up.
Looking at my configuration file, just had to tell it where to find the certificate and key:
set {
ssl {
certificate ssl.crt;
key ssl.key;
If you really want to disable it, try removing the "ssl;" line from the port configuration section and link section (not sure if anything else needs to be done, but that's the only references I can find to ssl).

But both files exist. Is there a bug?
On pps files I have no sound.

[SOLVED] x11vnc without monitor connected

How to start correctly x11vnc (or eventually vncserver) without monitor connected?
In the wiki is written
"Note: By default, Xorg needs to be able to detect a monitor and will not start otherwise. A workaround is to create a configuration file such as the example above and thus avoid auto-configuring. A common case where this is necessary is headless system, which boots without a monitor and starts Xorg automatically, either from virtual console and login, or using a display manager."
However this is not working in mycase. I cannot connect to previuosly configured x11vnc if monitor is detached. X is not starting. I am sure that the driver is right.
This is a system with LXQt desktop and sddm.
Last edited by hifi25nl (2015-05-14 11:03:32)

The dummy config file found in the wiki worked fine for me for the xserver itself (just make sure to pick the resolution(s) you want), but not all display managers worked correctly (GDM in particular is a problem, but I've had trouble with others). I've been able to use x11vnc on headless systems ranging from 5th generation i7's to raspberry Pis, so it's definitely possible.
It would help if you could provide your xorg.conf.d configuration, and your X or VNC logs so we could see what the issue is.
Try disabling your display manager and rebooting without a monitor attached, starting x manually via ssh, and then exporting the DISPLAY before starting x11vnc. For example try running the following lines interactively from the console via ssh.
startx &
export DISPLAY=:0
xrandr --fb 1920x1080
x11vnc --fbauth /path/to/password -display :0 -geometry 1920x1080 auth guess -forever -bg
Make sure to pick a mode (resolution) that's supported in your configuration files, etc. Those commands should give you copious error messages if they fail, which will give us a place to start.
As an aside, if all you want is a vncserver, tigervnc will work with much less fuss because it creates a virtual display so you don't need to mess with your xorg settings at all. x11vnc (without addins) relies on your system's literal physical display output device, which is what necessitates all the xorg fiddling. The only reason to use x11vnc is if you need to remote control an actual screen (which doesn't sound like your use case) or if you need the desktop you're VNCing into to have hardware acceleration for some reason. Tigervnc will "just work" in most setups without significant additional configuration.
