[SOLVED] problem with permissions.

hi all
I am trying to paste a folder in the path :
/usr/share/themes
but I can't do that at all because of an error about permissions.
I can only paste & copy things in the Filesystem Folders through the terminal when I am in the root mode too.
I have edited the sudoers file but no result.
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
yasser ALL=(ALL) ALL
and it's just the same.

I remember PCManFM including among its options to open a folder as root (it's been quite a long time since I used it thus you would have to check yourself in order to be sure). If you figure it out in the end that may grant you a visual environment to move the theme folder which seems to be what you are ultimately interested in apparently.
In the end too much of a hassle if you ask me as through terminal this is done pretty smoothly. And if you are the only user #2 made a good point suggesting you the use of the 'local' (home) .themes folder as the result will be ultimately the same.

[Solved] Problems with permissions for a script

Hi I realize the topic "permissions in Linux" is something that you can find very easily in the internet but I cant seem to figure out a solution for my problem.
I currently have a working script (taken from the ArchWiki) which enables me to change my display brightness. However I must be either superuser or root to be able to use it since it sends commands to the necessary devices.
I am currently using fluxbox as "desktop environment" and I want to be able as normal user to change the brightness without calling "sudo" everytime. I have also bound the necessary keys in the fluxbox/keys file to send the necessary commands to the script so my only problem is now with the permission.
Every help is much appreciated
Last edited by Triver (2011-12-13 17:34:41)

ok it works that way (at least when I execute the additional script which contains the sudo command).
for some reason fluxbox doesnt react when I press the keycode that I looked up with xev (although it works with a combination like "Mod4 b: exec ~/script")
anyway I think I'll stick with that solution and add some additional commands in the script (like toggle wlan on/off), thx for the quick help
edit: ok now I'm having difficulties with extending the script
I want to add additional paramters so the script can be used multifunctional depending on the parameter you launch it with.
however he seems to think that the String which I want to compare with the parameter is a command.
here's the code
#! /bin/sh
if [$1 = "brightness"]; then
if [$2 = "up"]; then
//call the actual brightness script with sudo
elif [$2 = "down"]; then
// call the actual brightness scrip with sudo
else
echo "invalid parameters!"
exit 1
fi
fi
exit 0
I execute the script like this
~/script brightness up
but he only returns me
~/script: line 2: [brightness: command not found
so whats wrong with the code?

Problems with permissions in Acrobat 9.1

I´m having problems with the edition permissions in acrobat 9.1 pro extended.
I´m trying to stamp a FDF with corrects values into a PDF with security and changes allowed to fill in forms.
the problem is this:
I choose a permission password and a level of changes allowed.
Then save and close. And my aplication to stamp the FDF doesn´t work.
But, if I open again the PDF and MODIFY the "changes allowed" to any level of them, It seems to doesn´t matter any of them while I modify it. Then save and close again... and... Magic! the stamp works.
I´m looking for an reason for this all the day. But I don´t find any explanation. I suppose that acrobat would make some changes each time the rectrictions are modified... but I´m not sure.
Does anybody know why could be happening this or what does acrobat exactly?
Thanks a lot if someone can help me.
and sorry for my bad english ^^

Hello and thax for responding.
No, that was one of the first things we tried.
My helpful guy in the store went into Terminal and tried to figure out why all the files were tied to Administrator and needed Root password to move or delete.
Even the folder that he created via Terminal (he added a folder just to see what happended) got the + mark after it and was there by not able to move or add files into, without admin password.
I also used the 10.6 startup DVD to go in and try to reset the ACL for my internal SSD drive, but that did not seem to help either.
There is something about these files and disk that is not giving my Macbook permissions to change the info.
Can also maybe be good to know that before the disk crashed, I managed to use time maschine to back it up. I hooked up the disk to my computer, added another backup disk and backed up my Internal MacBook drive together with the (about to) crashing disk. Then I copied the info from this time machine disk on to the New Drive.
What I believe I need is to re-write the permissions on the disk so that not only admin are allowed to change the info but I have no idea how to do that.
Hope this gives you a little more of a clue what´s is going on and that you have an idea how to solve it.
Thanx

[Solved] Problem with mouse cursor gnome3

Hi
I moved back to Archlinux after a brief stay in LMDE, and test the new GNOME3, I am unpleasantly surprised that after a while the mouse is moving himself toward the top of the screen. I searched the internet, and seems to be a problem with the gnome-shell for some time, but I am not able to find the solution.
Momentarily solved by restarting gnome with ALT + F2 + r + Enter, but after a while, same thing happens again.
Can be well with photography programs, but of course if you do not solve this issue, GNOME, I can not use
Can you give me a helping hand?
Thanks and regards
Rafa

I don't know about Gnome, but my laptop had that problem. I tracked it down the 3d accelerometer being used to simulate a joystick. Of course, I also had (previously) set up another joystick to operate as a mouse. In the end, the cursor "drifted" when the laptop was not level

[SOLVED] Problem with Vuze and Java RE x86_64

Hello all !
First of all, sorry if this issue was posted before, but find no related issue similar to mine.
Using pacman, I successfully installed JRE (version 6u16-1-x86_64) and Vuze (version 4.2.0.8-1, former Azureus), but Vuze doesn't want to start.
Running the Vuze's executable in the gnome-terminal, I notice messages from vuze informing it can't find Java executable ("Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search..." AND "OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/java/latest /usr/java /usr/lib/jvm/latest /usr/lib/jvm hierarchy") and therefore cannot start the Vuze UI. I also tried but failed in verify the version of Java with the command "java -version" due to command not found.
What is the best approach to fix this problem with Java 64 bits?
Thanks in advance

[SOLVED] Problem with symlinking and PKGBUILD

Hello Everyone,
I have created the javafx-sdk package on AUR, and make the installation a lot simplier. But I am having a problem with the creationg of the symlink.
So I have 1 binary file "javafxpackager" in the "bin" folder that I need to symlink into /usr/bin. This is the method I am using
mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/bin
chmod +x ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/jvm/${pkgname}/bin/javafxpackager
ln -s ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/jvm/${pkgname}/bin/javafxpackager ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/javafxpackager
My problem is that this method doesn't work at all. The only way to me after the installation to make the symlink working is by doing this :
ls chmod +x /usr/lib/jvm/javafx-sdk/bin/javafxpackager
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/javafx-sdk/bin/javafxpackager /usr/bin/
In order to make it work.
How can I solve this problem ?
Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa
Last edited by aliasbody (2012-06-26 00:27:15)

Problem solved ! Here's how to do it :
mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/bin
chmod +x ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/jvm/${pkgname}/bin/javafxpackager
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/javafx-sdk/bin/javafxpackager ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/javafxpackager
I didn't know, but you can symlink a file that doesn't exist yet, and this is what I did. I use and non existing (yet) javafxpackager binary from the non existing (yet) "/usr/lib/jvm/javafx-sdk/bin/" folder, and send it to the ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/javafxpackager, that will be copied into the original "/usr/bin/" folder.
So this problem is solved and I'm happy
(PS : thanks @ngoonee and @Trilby for you help ! Thanks to you I found out a little bit faster where the problem was ^^)

[SOLVED] Problem with "su" and "login".

Hi, I reinstalled Arch Linux today when I updated "filesystem" and reboot appeared an error with root device, but I solved with installation CD.
I restarted laptop after solving error with root device when I went to XFCE4 and open a terminal I tried to login as root with "su" and "su -" but showed this error:
bash: su: command not found
So I rebooted to start in text mode.
When loaded SLIM I press ctrl+alt+F1 to enter text mode.
I type root to login but did'nt appear to enter the pass, appeared again to enter login. I tried type my user but did the same.
Someone can help me?
Thanks!

Thank you falconindy. I upgrade with --force because I search in Google the problem show "filesystem" when I tried install and I read that solution is upgrade "filesystem" with --foce.
I tried to reinstall util-linux and now works. Thank you!

[SOLVED] Problem with UTC and CST

I probably made a mistake while installing Arch Linux and the clocks in my computer are all a mess.
Right now the UTC time its 6+ hours, I changed it in the bios to the right hour but that give me -6 hours in the local time thats displayed in Arch Linux and gave me the right hour in Windows 7.
timedatectl
Local time: Fri 2013-12-20 12:33:12 CST
Universal time: Fri 2013-12-20 18:33:12 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2013-12-20 18:33:12
Timezone: America/Mexico_City (CST, -0600)
NTP enabled: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: no
DST active: no
Last DST change: DST ended at
Sun 2013-10-27 01:59:59 CDT
Sun 2013-10-27 01:00:00 CST
Next DST change: DST begins (the clock jumps one hour forward) at
Sun 2014-04-06 01:59:59 CST
Sun 2014-04-06 03:00:00 CDT
PS: Already did everything in the wiki and tried with some [SOLVED] posts.
Edit: The problem with this its that when i use Windows 7 (to play DotA... or using the iPod, since no player can edit the files in the ipod) the hour is 6+ hours, that causes problems with the configuration in the ipod since each time i connect it the clock (that its also my only clock) changes to 6+ hours. Its maybe irrelevant for someone but i would like to have the right hour in all my systems.

I am with Scimmia, everything looks correct. But, If you boot Windows, it will try to change the BIOS clock to local time unless you tell it otherwise.
Edit for both of your edits. Yes, fix windows

[SOLVED] Problem with modules and udev

Hi everybody,
I've been configuring Arch on my new laptop the last few days and today as I was going to perform the first backup, I noticed that my external HDD does not show up in /dev/ when I plug it in. I figured it could be a problem with udev and the fact that in my /etc/rc.conf I use MOD_AUTOLOAD="no" with an explicit list of MODULES generated with hwdetect (as suggested in the wiki).
To "solve" this I just changed MOD_AUTOLOAD to "yes" and after a reboot everything worked fine.
My questions are:
1) Is it possible to keep that feature (udev detects usb drives and creates the corresponding /dev/sdX) while having MOD_AUTOLOAD="no" ? What is/are the appropriate module(s) I have to put in my MODULES array ?
2) What other such "basic" MODULES could be very useful that hwdetect does not tell about.
Sorry for any English mistakes (I'm not a native speaker) and thank you in advance for your help,
yms

1) Thank you, it works perfectly.
2) Yes I know the question is weird. The thing is I have no precise idea at the moment and I just wanted to know if there are other very widely used features such as the one described in 1) that hwdetect ommits and that has to be loaded in MODULES.
Anyway, thank you very much, I consider this matter [solved]

I've had this happen now and again. You can rebind the lease yourself with:
$ dhcpcd --rebind
You could also try increasing the timeout by adding
TimeoutDHCP=
to your netctl profile/s - see netctl.profile(5) as WonderWoofy suggests. Although I haven't tried the latter.

zsnes: xcb_io.c:515: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.
Abortado
it was working fine until yesterday, i've been searching about xcb_io.c but sadly i haven't found anything useful.
Edit:
it seems i can run it fine as sudo but not as a regular user
Edit2:
well it seems that there was something wrong with my .zsnes folder, i deleted it (well first i made a backup of it) and i can run zsnes again.
Edit3:
well, it seems i got a problem with opengl and my catalyst driver (but i'm guessing because i haven't tried with radeon) because i can use it without opengl but as soon as i change the video option to use opengl it crashes with the same error (zsnes: xcb_io.c:515: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.) should i file a bug report or something???

[SOLVED]Problem with sound in HDMI

Hello good society of Arch
Now I have problems with sound from HDMI. I use Arch as an tvPc, wasting movies and tv shows on it. I use ALSA and it works well, except of a few files that I have, then there is picture but sound is either twisted or not played at all. It does not matter whether I use vlc or mplayer, I'm experiencing the same problem.
I have not found anything about this with google, other problems have been either hdmi sound working or not, not like it is with me, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
I know that the files are ok, I can play them in anther pc I have (also using Arch on that pc).
Does anybody know what the problem might be? What do I have to look at to find out what the problem is? This have been like this for some time now, but I haven't looked into it before, because I don't use TV that muts, but the wife does and when she stats blaming Arch, I have too do something about it.
I have never encountered problem with Arch that i cant solve by using this forum and google
Thanks

af=resample=48000
I will look at this when i come home from work, thanks.

Yes i have, and sound is working, well most of the time.

[solved]Problems with 82801H (ICH8 Family) sound

Hi!
I've got some problems with my sound.
I read http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50047 (adding options in modprobe.conf)
I tried http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALS … s_and_test
and followed http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Len … X300#Sound
But for some reason I simply can't get any sound at all.
My laptop is a lenovo x61s with
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
The modules (same as first link), are loaded without problems.
I've run alsaconf, checked modprobe.conf and modprobe.d/sound, looks ok
I get the channels in alsamixer, and my regular user is a member of audio group.
Trying e.g. vlc gives no error, simply no sound..
Following the test (second link, with aplay), gives no error.. simply no sound
I can't find anything in the logs..
The card worked perfectly in both Ubuntu and Slackware... so I can't see why it shouldn't work in Arch..
Help : )

Yeey I solved it!
It seems that snd-hda-intel module can't always recongnized what kind of soundcard you're using.
By supplying the correct model option to the module, I finally got my sound.
Available models are found in
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Document … ration.txt
For my laptop it was "thinkpad" : )
Thx
