[SOLVED] Sudo and seteuid issues

A couple of days ago, something strange happened to my user account.  I  couldnt log into my window manager (enlightenment) as a non-root user.  Also, each time I would try to issue a command using sudo, it would return some error about seteuid (I can't rememer exactly what it said).  So I fiddled around with the sudoers file to make sure I had sudo access (which I now do), but I still can't issue the startx command as a non-root user or without sudo.  I suspect it has something to do with the seteuid error, but I don't know what to do about it.  If I run startx, it returns:
   Fatal server error: Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"
   xinit: givingup
   xinit: unable to connect to X server: Address family not supported by protocol
   xinit: server error
I tried changing the permissions on these files, which didn't work.  Hours of google searching hasn't helped much, but here is a link to a page that describes a problem as similar to mine as I could find:  http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=195.0
It mentions this:
   BTW, the "Can't open /var/log/Xorg.o.log" is possibly because "set uid" became unset in the tcz conversion - does "ls -l /usr/local/bin/Xorg" show an "s" in there somewhere?"
but I don't even have that file to try to use their solution.
/home/user/.xinitrc contains only 1 line:  exec enlightenment_start
Please help me figure what to do about the seteuid or setuid, so I can run startx as a non-root user, again.  Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you, smudge! To fix:
$ whereis Xorg
Xorg: /usr/bin/Xorg /usr/share/man/man1/Xorg.1.gz
$ ls -la /usr/bin/Xorg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.9M Dec 17 01:18 /usr/bin/Xorg
$ sudo chmod +s usr/bin/Xorg
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 1.9M Dec 17 01:18 /usr/bin/Xorg
After these commands, I could get into my window manager again without root privileges.

  • [SOLVED] mpd and sonata issue

    Hi again!
    I've installed mpd and sonata but i don't see my library in sonata .
    This is my /etc/mpd.conf file
    # An example configuration file for MPD
    # See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter.
    # Files and directories #######################################################
    # This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the
    # available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This
    # setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be
    # be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using
    # file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
    music_directory "/home/andreas/Downloads"
    # This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this
    # directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use
    # playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD
    # format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.
    #playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists"
    # This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to
    # load the database at server start up and store the database while the
    # server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow
    # MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming
    # files over an accepted protocol.
    db_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpd.db"
    # These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon.
    # These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level
    # settings.
    # The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This
    # setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled.
    log_file "/var/log/mpd/mpd.log"
    # This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID
    # for use of mpd --kill and some init scripts. This setting is disabled by
    # default and the pid file will not be stored.
    pid_file "/var/run/mpd/mpd.pid"
    # This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about
    # most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before
    # it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server
    # state will be reset on server start up.
    state_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"
    # General music daemon options ################################################
    # This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as
    # root and you may use this setting to make MPD change its user ID after
    # initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the
    # current user.
    user "mpd"
    # This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention
    # should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any.
    # This setting can deny access to control of the daemon.
    # For network
    #bind_to_address "any"
    # And for Unix Socket
    #bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket"
    # This setting is the TCP port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned
    # to.
    #port "6600"
    # This setting controls the type of information which is logged. Available
    # setting arguments are "default", "secure" or "verbose". The "verbose" setting
    # argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch
    # available resources on limited hardware storage.
    #log_level "default"
    # If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that
    # you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves
    # the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix
    # (available from <http://www.willwap.co.uk/Programs/vbrfix.php>), at which
    # point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled.
    #gapless_mp3_playback "yes"
    # This setting enables MPD to create playlists in a format usable by other
    # music players.
    #save_absolute_paths_in_playlists "no"
    # This setting defines a list of tag types that will be extracted during the
    # audio file discovery process. Optionally, 'comment' can be added to this
    # list.
    #metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"
    # Symbolic link behavior ######################################################
    # If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following
    # symbolic links outside of the configured music_directory.
    #follow_outside_symlinks "yes"
    # If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following
    # symbolic links inside of the configured music_directory.
    #follow_inside_symlinks "yes"
    # Zeroconf / Avahi Service Discovery ##########################################
    # If this setting is set to "yes", service information will be published with
    # Zeroconf / Avahi.
    #zeroconf_enabled "yes"
    # The argument to this setting will be the Zeroconf / Avahi unique name for
    # this MPD server on the network.
    #zeroconf_name "Music Player"
    # Permissions #################################################################

    If you continue to have issues with permissions, the solution i use is to simply run MPD as my normal user, storing all the necessary directories and files under ~/.mpd and just pointing it at the config file I stuck there:
    $ mpd ~/.mpd/config
    No more permissions issues! There's an explanation of this in the wiki.

  • [SOLVED]youtube and flash issue

    So, I've got a flash issue that only happens on youtube. It looks like this:
    It happens every time I open a browser (on both firefox and chrome) and goes away after refreshing the page, but its kinda annoying to refresh the page every time I wanna watch a video. Also when switching to fullscreen the video stays in software video rendering when it should switch to accelerated rendering so I get around 10 fps making the video unwatchable (this doesnt happen with windows on the same hardware).
    Other flash websites like vimeo work fine and I can watch vimeo HD videos in fullscreen without any issue.
    This started happening when youtube introduced the new black look of their player (it was all fine and dandy before), and its bothering me ever since so I'm now using flashvideoreplacer extension for firefox but I still want flash to work properly so I can use chrome again.
    I'm using 64-bit arch, flashplugin from extra (getting the same effect with any other flashplugin from AUR) and EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode is set to 1 in /etc/adobe/mms.conf
    Oh and I've tried this on Ubuntu live cd and controls work fine but accelerated video still doesnt work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    SOLVED:Graphic problem is resolved after installing new version of flashplugin, but still no HW acceleration.

  • [SOLVED] sudo and XDG_CONFIG_HOME

    I'm not really sure in which section my problem fits, but since I realized I had it creating a new package... Here it is.
    I submitted a new package (brogue) to the AUR. The way the code was written makes it necessary to have the executable in the same folder as the png and so files. To work around it I thought of moving all the files to one folder and then create a shell script that would cd to that folder, run the game, and return to the previous path. I could move them to /usr/ or somewhere in $HOME. I chose the second one and here is my problem.
    When I check for XDG_CONFIG_HOME in PKGBUILD I get one path and when I do it the same way to run the game I get another one.
    if [ -z "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" ]; then
        _config_dir="$pkgdir/$HOME/.config/brogue"
    else
        _config_dir="$pkgdir/$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/brogue"
    fi
    if [ -z "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" ]; then
      _config_dir="$HOME/.config/brogue"
    else
      _config_dir="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/brogue"
    fi
    I know this happens because (obviously) I install as root and run it as normal user. One way to solve this is to sudo -u username pacman but it is a crappy way.
    What's wrong? Am I looking for XDG_CONFIG_HOME the wrong way in the PKGBUILD? Or should I have sudo using my user as default (don't really think so)?
    PS: Since the files are not really config files, sould I dump them on other place? For instance, I realize that I could have solved this moving them to /usr/share/. But the problem would come eventually and I would have to ask you guys just the same....
    Last edited by jlcordeiro (2010-10-14 13:36:58)

    Packages should never touch the user's home directory in any way. Namcap could have warned you about this. You're also missing some dependencies.
    Just install the executable and image files in /usr/share/brogue, the .so files in /usr/lib and add a frontend script to /usr/bin.
    Note that this is still ugly. Installing the precompiled binaries and libraries should be avoided. Instead, create a separate package for libtcod and have your brogue package depend on it, then properly build brogue from source in your PKGBUILD.
    In your frontend script, just cd to /usr/share/brogue and run it. No need to cd back to '-'.
    Also, makepkg runs as a normal user, so using an environment variable in the PKGBUILD should yield the user value.

  • [solved] sudo and yaourt problems after recent updates

    After recent updates (past week) yaourt started giving me problems. When using yaourt it prompts me for sudo password but it does not seem to use my sudo configuration.
    I get this:
    [sudo] password for root:
    [sudo] password for root:
    Password:
    su: Authentication failure
    Password:
    When entering mine or root's password I just get prompt again. The last password is for su, which when I enter root's works.
    It seems sudo is not using /etc/sudoers configuration either, as I have things like insults enabled and it used to work previously.
    Any reason for this?
    sudo works fine otherwise.

  • [SOLVED] Xfce and bus issues

    Long story short, I updated Xfce to 4.8 few days ago, and everything went well. I was running my basic programs and VM during these days.
    But today, all of a sudden, some programs didn't launch anymore. xfce4-mixer quit with a "Bus Error" message, and many other things started failing. After a reboot, it just got weirder: NMApplet appeared in the tray and displayed my network (wireless), but clicking it just "freezes" the icon. Aside from that, xfce wouldn't load my keymap (es), instead it defaults to a "us" keymap.
    The only packages I updated today were a few python and power management packages. Downgrading these (and dbus) didn't help.
    Also, X terminals (xfce's terminal, tilda, etc) behave strangely when scrolling back: A few lines are displayed, but scrolling up further just displays empty space.
    No major configs were edited during this time. Googling a bit gave me results about dbus being twice on rc.conf, but that's not the issue. My current rc.conf has dbus and hal after it (Method 1 in archwiki). Excluding dbus (Method 2) doesn't change things. I also tried excluding hal (Xfce 4.8 doesn't require it anymore, correct?), but it's the same thing.
    Xfce itself seems to run sorta fine though: The shutdown command inside the DE works, and some apps do run (power management, xfce notes, notifications). Others give out several errors: Chromium for example says it "can't create a directory socket" or something (using another system right now, so I can't check), while avant-window-navigator gives out dbus and gconf errors.
    dmesg doesn't display anything out of the ordinary at the end (the blank space in terminals issue doesn't let me read too far back.)
    EDIT: A dbus-daemon process is constantly using 50% of the CPU. And the kernel is 2.6.36 (upgraded it quite some time ago, had no issues)
    Any ideas on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

    ...and I solved it.
    Since nothing would work, I decided to back up my system files and pacman cache, among other things. When checking my pkgcache folder size, I noticed that the / partition was at 100%...
    So running ncdu I find out slim had a 9.9 GB log for some reason. Deleted that, rebooted, and everything is back to normal.
    So now I mark this as solved, thankfully. Now the slim logs are not growing like crazy.

  • [SOLVED] sudo and "command not found" problems

    Ok, the problem I've got is this: sudo has suddenly started acting real strange. It can't find any programs. For example, if i type
    sudo echo
    It just goes
    sudo: echo: command not found
    And another problem I've got, is that as a regular user, it can't find programs in /sbin, or other "exotic" places. For example it can't find firefox, because it's not in /usr/bin or /bin, but in /opt/mozilla/bin.
    Please, help me!

  • [SOLVED] Keyboard and Mouse Issue

    Hi Arch Guros!
    Please be easy on me, this is my first post and I'll try to make it as specific as I can..
    When I use the Arch Linux Boot CD to attempt to install Arch Linux I noticed that my keyboard was not working..
    I walked away from my computer for 5 minutes and when I came back I noticed that the keyboard it was lit up and working..  I noticed after a few reboots that the keyboard does in fact takes a few minutes to start to work and I noticed that this started to happen on my second hard drive running Linux Mint (when I fell back to it)..  However, with a Windows 7 installation, this does not happen.
    Anyway, I ran:
    # lsusb
    Relevant Output:
    Bus 009 Device 006: ID 06a3:0728 Saitek PLC
    Then I ran:
    # dmesg | cat > /root/dmesg.txt
    # grep usb /root/dmesg.txt | cat > /root/dmesg_usb.txt
    dmesg Output:
    http://pastebin.com/0ci5kvy7
    USB relevant dmesg Output:
    http://pastebin.com/JAWmH1dP
    I've noticed A LOT of usb descriptor errors and usb address issues..
    I have tried flashing a new BIOS to my motherboard (gigabyte 990fxa-ud5) and resetting the settings on it to factory defaults.. This dmesg output is when JUST my keyboard is connected..
    I will attach the two files with the errors..
    If you need anymore information please ask, I can provide anything you need..
    Thanks in advance guys! I hope I have met the forum etiquette.. (I was intimidated by the date output question >.>)
    Edit: I would also like to note that the keyboard starts working at 166 in the dmesg output..  Not sure if that helps at all

    Alright, so I did an extensive amount of research after posting this while I waited for a response and seemed to find a procedure that worked to fix this issue..
    I used a jumper to clear my CMOS settings..
    I then loaded up the Arch Linux install and was greeted with a:
    Unexpected Inconsistency: Run fsck Manually
    I proceeded by running fsck /dev/sda2..
    I said yes to all the prompts and rebooted,,
    Everything seems to work find now.. Odd, but it didn't seem like a solid fix.. Oh well, thanks for listening!

  • [SOLVED] sound and video issues with firefox

    I decided to change my browser due to some problems with the last chromium update (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182218).
    I'm using the last version of firefox but I can't watch any videos in this browser. I'm having two main problems:

    · The videos stop after a few seconds automatically. The videos keep loading, but they are not played anymore.
    This is a weird thing. I can't use a browser! Please some help!

    Hello,
    While the whiteboard itself doesn't have an upload command,
    the FilePublisher can upload images into the Cocomo room. From
    there, your clients can download the image and display it (say,
    through an image component). The SharedWhiteboard can have its
    backgroundAlpha set to 0 - try myWB.setStyle("backgroundAlpha", 0).
    As far as your audio is concerned, it seems as though you're
    compiling against the FP10 cocomo.swc, but aren't requiring player
    10 in your Flex project (check Project Properties->Flex
    Compiler). I'd either use the FP9 swc, or require 10.0.0 or higher
    in the project.
    hope that helps

  • [SOLVED] WINE and NVIDIA issues - scrolling away from fullscreen

    Hello again... more problems from me.
    I seem to have a problem with my WINE running fullscreen applications, such as games. When I start, say, a fullscreen game, it does start in fullscreen, but if I move my mouse to the right or bottom edge of the screen, the game screen "scrolls away", and I'm shown my desktop (at a lower resolution). When I pull my mouse/touchpad back to the left or upper edge, the screen returns.
    I'd love to post screenshots of this, but those show nothing useful
    (which leads me to a suspicion there might me something wrong with my display configuration - but this is only a suspicion.)
    It happens regardless of Compiz or any other window manager, and regardless of the "Graphics" settings in winecfg. This is only the case with WINE; I've tried some native fullscreen games, which work flawlessly.
    This is really annoying, as it renders most of the games unplayable.
    I have an NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, and am running the 64-bit Arch Linux. Here's my xorg.conf and my Xorg.0.log.
    I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with this. Thanks!

    there was also a workaround I came to, but it was a messy one compared to this. the idea was to make a batch script for every game I would install, which would first call the xrandr <resolution>, then wine the game, and after that xrandr back to my desktop resolution. needless to say I had this as a last resort, since this would mess up changing the ingame resolution, and don't even get me started about the mess it makes on the desktop

  • [SOLVED] How to get sudo and kdesu to honor my user password?

    Hi folks,
    Well, I must be missing something. I think I've tried everything listed here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143487 and in the referenced links, but I still have the problem of my system rejecting my password for some uses of sudo and kdesu but not others.  I've included my /etc/sudoers file below.
    My problem may be due to screwing around with users:  I started out using bruce (1000), then switched to bbraley (1001), then deleted bruce in kusers, then changed bbraley to 1000. When that created more problems without solving the original one, I switched back to 1001.  I've played with adding and removing my user from groups, including creating a sudo group, making sure I am a member of wheel group, etc. 
    What seemed to be everyone's magic fix,
    pacman -S pambase
    didn't work when I tried it successfully with my bbraley password, then later, when that began failing, using the root password. pambase reinstalls, but there is no resulting change in the behavior of sudo.
    Side question: Most of my experience is with kubuntu in which I never created a root user and never had any trouble having my user password work with sudo or kdesu. Is there a reason Archwiki beginners guide suggests assigning a separate root account and password?
    Can anyone help?

    I had never used it, either, but I misread some reference and thought it might help. Since you say it causes the behaviour I'm trying to eliminate, I will get rid of it, as suggested. However, the behavior preceded my addition of this line in the file, so I don't think this will correct the problem. Edit: Removing it kept the root password from being universally required (I can now edit /etc/sudoers using my user password) and returned it to requiring it sometimes (I still need the root password to use kdesu).
    As for some other distro not having a root account, that is simply impossible.  There was a root account.  If you didn't have the password for it, then that installation was severely crippled.
    Sorry, you're right. I should have said that kubuntu does not expect users to assign a password to the root account and instead expects primary users to access that account's privileges via su, sudo, or kdesu only.
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
    By default, the root account password is locked in Ubuntu. This means that you cannot login as root directly or use the su command to become the root user. However, since the root account physically exists it is still possible to run programs with root-level privileges. This is where sudo comes in - it allows authorized users (normally "Administrative" users; for further information please refer to AddUsersHowto) to run certain programs as root without having to know the root password.
    Thanks for responding to my request for help. Any other ideas?
    Edit:  Here's what I keep getting that only accepts the root password, not my user password

  • [SOLVED] Pacman and yaourt not working when run with "sudo"

    Hi,
    I am an Arch newbie, just installed Arch 3.10 on my machine. I access internet through a proxy server and I'm facing this strange problem -
    Pacman is unable to fetch packages when I run it through sudo - "sudo pacman -S smplayer" (It gives network unreachable error).
    However when I run it through root, it retrieves those same packages successfully.
    yaourt also faces a similar kind of problem -
    When I run it through sudo or as root, it is unable to retrieve packages which can be downloaded by pacman. But, when I run pacman to download those same packages, it is able to do so.
    I am using gnome 3.8, and use radiotray ( It's for listening online radios ). When I run it via 'Alt-F2' or as a startup application, it's not able to connect to any radio station ( which means it's not connecting to the internet ). However, on running it via terminal, it connects to the internet successfully. Are these 2 problems related ? I'm facing the first one even without loading gnome, so it's not gnome's problem, i guess.
    I can ping successfully through my administrator as well as root account, connect to the internet via browser, and ssh, git, bzr are also working fine.
    What can I do to resolve this ?
    Thanks

    To configure proxy, I added the line "export http_proxy=PROXY_LINK" to the bashrc files of user and root.
    Regarding Arch 3.10, yes i meant the installation media from 2013.09.01 ( kernel 3.10 )
    That's why root works, but not sudo. Sudo clears the environment. See man sudo and man sudoers.

  • Can you help me solve my aspect ratio issue?

    Hey guys,
    I'm posting this in hopes that someone can help me solve an aspect ratio issue with a project that I have to finish by tomorrow.
    I'm trying to avoid having to re-edit the entire thing.
    I shot the project with my Nikon D7000 DSLR. in 720p 30p (29.97)
    I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (the trial version).  I have the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
    The reason I was working with the trial is that CS3 can't handle the H.264 MOVs that the D7000 records.
    You can work with a timeline, but if you try to export anything, it never works.  I always have to convert my footage to ProRes MOVs with MPEG Streamclip before I can work with them is CS3.  That takes a lot of time and a lot of hard drive space.  After much research, I found out that CS5 is the way to go for DSLR footage.  I just need to save up my pennies for the upgrade.
    So I thought I'd edit this short (1 minute) project with the trial to see how CS5 works with the D7000 footage.
    Upon installing the trial program, I found that the project presets were limited.  I knew this ahead of time because it's clearly stated on the Adobe's website.
    But I wasn't aware how limited they are.
    Since "DSLR 1280x720p 30p" is not an option with the trial, I was going to use HDV 720p 30p.  But that was not an option either!
    So basically, my only option for 16x9 30p was "DV NTSC Widescreen".  It's my understanding that this is 864x480 (in square pixel aspect ratio) or 720x480  (in widescreen pixel aspect ratio)   I needed the output file to be 864x486.  I downsized the footage to 69% in the "Video Effects: Motion" setting so it looked correct in the project.  I didn't think about those extra 6 pixels until I outputed the file and saw thin black lines on the top and bottom.  My guess is that Premiere is adding black pixels because my project is technically 720x480 (1.2121)
    Any thoughts on how I can get a clean 864x486 export?  I'd rather not re-edit the whole thing...which I would have to do in CS3 after I spent a few hours converting the original files in MPEG Streamclip.  I don't know if there is a way to export something out of CS5 and then open a new project in CS3 to make this work.
    Thanks in adavance!

    On export, just crop a few pixels off of each side; that'll let the image scale correctly to the output frame size without black bars.
    I'm not running the trial, but you should still be able to create a custom sequence preset using the Desktop editing mode. Just switch over to the General tab when you create a new sequence, and choose "Desktop" from the editing modes. Set the rest of the parameters as you need them.
    Even easier: once you've imported your footage, just drag a clip to the New Item icon at the bottom of the project panel; a sequence will be created matching your footage parameters. You can edit at full-resolution, and then export to your desired frame size when complete--you'll probably still need to crop a few pixels (in the Export Settings window) to eliminate the black bars.

  • Battery, heat, and ringer issues

    I recently purchased the Iphone 4s.. this is my first iphone
    I did the update that Apple sent out to help the battery and it seems like it worse then before the update??  My phone has been off the charger for 45 minutes, I sent 1 text message, and had 1 phone call.  The percentage is now at 87.  It the last 2 minutes i have watched it go down 2%?  Is this normal?  Also, the phone gets REALLY hot...
    If not, what do I do now??
    Also, I keep missing phone calls because I don't hear the phone ring... but the ringer is all the way up..
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Any and all advice very gratefully received as seriously peeved with BB models now.  My first BB was fantastic ... but all newer models have had problems ... think BB needs to ensure that all techy problems are fully ironed out prior to launching their new BB handset!
    1. Connect your Z10 to the wall outlet charger for an hour and then with the Z10 powered on, and with it STILL CONNECTED, remove the battery for a minute and replace. This will normally reset the the on-device battery meter and allow the charging status and percentage to show more correctly.
    2. Orange is your tech support contact and any issue which they cannot resolve, they should escalate up to BlackBerry tier two tech support, or you should ask/demand that.
