Sudo does not work...

Hi I have created a new user and added them to the wheel group but they are still not able to use the sudo command. how can I fix this?

You need to set up sudo. The default configuration doesn't give any rights to any group or user.
As root type
visudo
There you will see some examples.
You are also encouraged to read the sudo man page.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

It appears that you may not have a properly installed OS X system.
You must be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
In the menu bar, choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
Select “Disk Utility,” and then click Continue.
Select your startup disk from the list on the left, and then Repair Disk.
After disk is repaired, select Reinstall OS X, then click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk

( SOLVED )gnome-terminal, su, sudo, gksu, gksudo does not work

Hello,
In my fresh installed gnome3 graphical environment, in gnome-terminal, I can not gain root access.
I've tried diverse su commands.
1. su command, ends with:
su -
Password:
su: Authentication failure
2. sudo command, ends with:
sudo -l
[sudo] password for root:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for root:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for root:
sudo: 2 incorrect password attempts
Of course - each time, I typed correct password.
In my sudoers file, group wheel ( into which belongs user I logged in ) has permissions to execute any command.
3. gksudo with debug:
gksudo -ld gnome-terminal
No ask_pass set, using default!

I've been asked for my password, not root, after typing I get "incorrect password attempt", if I type root pwd I get the same.
4. Same with this command:
gksu -ld gnome-terminal

In multi-user-mode I can login to root account.

Hurrican, ok, there is no need to install antother terminal, as I wrote it did not work also in xterm.
Yesterday evening, tired and sad that gk(su|sudo) still does not work,
as the "last chance idea", I logged in into multi-user mode ( init level 3 ) and changed root's password,
then loged in into graphical mode ( init level 5 ), start gnome-terminal and suddenly ... command "su -" started to work.
By the way, similar solution ( but with chroot ) has suggested Gulver in his post ( this thread, answer #2 ).
The question is, why root's password, set during install, after finished installation is recognized in text mode, but not im graphical ?
First root's password was really simple, like "dog4356", without any national chars.
You're right. I don't even have xterm installed so I guess I just singled out gnome-terminal and forgot that xterm also wasn't working.
Forgive me for my shaky advice. Like you I've been super busy, and sweating out a fever of 102 degrees (that's Fahrenheit no my
blood wasn't boiling ). Anyways, glad you got it working. After reading over the whole thread and thinking about it for a little bit, I
can't really make a good guess as to what was happening.
I'm sure you probably had tried this, but you could have typed the password out in the command line so you could see it. If there was
something wrong with it, it would have shown up there as well. If it was perfectly fine, then it would have been very, very weird.
The important thing is you got it working.
Merry Christmas.

External USB HD does not work with HAL:

External USB HD does not work with HAL:
From the last 10 days the HAL auto-mount with ntfs-3g file system of my external hard drive does not woks.
But the manual mount procedure with the command mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb* /mnt/XYZ works.
I've followed the instructions in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL and the system has worked up to the last kernel or HAL update.
My fat32 usb-stick works without any problem.

Do you have some idea ....
Bye.

I have done the following:
Downloaded the patched hal version.
used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
have i done something wrong?
br fjodork
WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
pacman -Rd hal
it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
options=('!libtool')
install=hal.install
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
hal
hal-policy.patch
cryptsetup_location.patch
hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
'882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
'5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

Caldav does not work after upgrade from 10.6.8

Hello!
After upgrading two test servers from 10.6.8 to 10.7.2 with no problems i decided last night it is time to upgrade our production server.
Took sometime but everything went well except for caldav service. If I understand the log right the migration to lion-calendars crashes when the script wants to put the calendars from filesystem into a database.
After reboot the script runs into the same error.
BTW the notification service does not work also. But that is not very important.
Every help is appreciated, bye

3. delete database: sudo dropdb -U _postgres caldav
4. mv (if it exists) /Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Documents/calendars-migrated to /Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Documents/calendars-migrated-old
5. sudo calendarserver_bootstrap_database
6. now we start again: sudo serveradmin start calendar
7. watch the log file - tail -f /var/log/caldavd/error.log

[SOLVED} Suspend to ram does not work (with sleep, s2ram, pm-utils)

Hi.
I would like to ask for one thing: i can't suspend to ram or resume from suspend to ram.
I treid to check over www in order to find some help, some solutions, and how to fix that. Unfortunately, i found these:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. … 13-2/page2
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913105

Bug 91921 - WD 2TB Caviar black causes hard lock on resume S2RAM
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91921
In fact, when i was researching of this problem i wanted to check if my graphic card and memory are failing so a did few changes (removed memory stick and so one) but in doing this i removed almost all of my hard disk drives because i didn't want to hurt them with many reboots or resets.
What did i find? It is strange, kernel version is not important because i checked most of them.
I removed 2x2TB Seagate F14 series along with 4x3TB WD Green. Then i checked s2ram, it went to suspend, and resumes correctly. Everything works. I put it to sleep with s2ram -f -a 1. Works
I attached my 4x3TB WD Green drives. I put computer to sleep with s2ram...it causes hard lock, black screen, i could do only poweroff by powerbutton. s2ram -f -a 1 causes freez. Sometimes, but not constantly, s2ram -f -a 3 -p is being able to suspend...(mostly it does a freez, hard lock computer) but sometimes it is able to put it to a sleep, but resume just freezes everyting - no blinking cursor, no blinking num lock led and so on.
I know that you would suggest me to check logs - this is the main problem. Logs for pm-suspend works when i suspend or resume without WD drives attached. When i have them connected, i'm not able to check pm-logs because computer hangs, freezes and logs are not being stored/writed to pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
Could somebody help? Point me to a solution? I can't check logs because there are not any when freezing occurs. I checked openSuse thread and many others and for other systems there were some kernel fixex, patches.
They wrote that WD blacks are at fault because they don't have APM. Well, in fact my WD Green have APM with very aggresive factory settings: they park heads over 8 seconds not being used. I disabled it in firmware but disabling it is not the point and not the problem. People have the same problem even with APM and parking heads on other WD drives, i found it that some have it with WD Red's drives and even with very old 320GB WD Blue series - what is more funny, i have 640GB AAKS blue from WD and with this drive i can suspend or resume - APM on this drive is also unavilable, like in Green series because i changed it with wdidle with prebootable cd. I can't supend or resume with 3TB WD Greens.
BTW - suspend to disk, with pm-utils and uswsusp works ok, in 100% every time. (i had to add "shutdown method = shutdown" to /etc/suspend.conf from uswsusp package).
On Windows machine it works. Can suspend, can resume, can hibernate.

Hm, sometimes i found myself astonished because some things just does not work at all on one machine, while the other one has no problem at all. I was trying to find why suspend to ram won't work at all...and while i was searching i found one topic that was leading to upower dbus. Similar problem with upower i found, by coincidence, on Manjaro forum.
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
this command above returns all the time:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Suspend" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.UPower" doesn't exist
I tried this:
sudo systemctl enable acpid.service
sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
As soon as i enabled and started acpid.service...my supend to ram, from kde, works like a charm, without graphic problem, or freezing.
There is few question: why on my desktop suspend doesen't work out of the box, when even archwiki says it should? Why on my netbook machine (Acer AOD270) that has the same package installed it works out of the box? Why on my desktop machine acpid.service was not enabled, was not started and was not running while on the notebook it does?
Anyway...i fixed it by a big coincidence because on Fedora forum somebody has problem with suspend to ram with nvidia GTX750 and this card was new like my card (GTX660). He posted the same problem with upower that i posted in quotes and because of this i found another thing on Manjaro forum and that was it!
BTW - this problem, i now think, is not related to my WD drives because it works with them. I think that there was another one ugly thing that broke my suspend to ram ability - bios of my motherboard (so called uefi bios with support for old one) has no option for S1-S5 stated (like the previous motherboards had) and only have ASPM...and ASPM is in my opinion broken but i will try to veryfi it one again later.

Host function plus sudo command not working

Hi,
For normal command such as ls, it works.
But when I run the following
v_host := '/usr/bin/sudo -u devuser /test/app/dev/scripts/test.sh
host(v_host);
it does not work.
anyone has idea ? Thanks.
Ivan

I imagine sudo is probably attempting to prompt for a password. I think it depends on who you are logged in as and who you are trying to log in as (and whether you have logged in recently within the last few minutes).
The host command won't support this kind of interaction. It needs to be a command that returns its results without requiring any further prompting.
That would be my guess.

Iosnoop does not work properly

Hi,
I'm trying to use iosnoop on my PowerMac G5 (dual 2GHz) running Mac OS X 10.5.5 and Dev Tools 3.1.
• I *sudo -s*
• I launch iosnoop
• I wait, 5 or more minutes, but the only output I have is:
*UID PID D BLOCK SIZE COMM PATHNAME*
• I have to ctrl-c
If I run the same commands on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.5 and Dev Tools 3.1, it works.
Any idea ?

I'm now running 10.5.8 and iosnoop does not work anymore on my PowerMac G5.
And more important, DTrace tools are unable to work with devices.
If I try using iopattern with -d option to monitor a particular disk, it only returns 0s:
$ df /Volumes/pandore/
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s3 312440112 169621584 142818528 55% /Volumes/pandore

iosnoop is also unable to work with devices, and it looks like dtrace is unable to read device's name:

Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears: "The licensing of the product does not work" Fault 6 How should I proceed? Have the program installed on only one computer.

Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears:
"The licensing of the product does not work"
Fault 6
How should I proceed?
Have the program installed on only one computer.

Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
Run the License Service Update.
Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
c. Double-click Applications.
d. Double-click Utilities.
e. Double-click Terminal.
f. Type sudo python
Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
It should look like this:
h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
(Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop

After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

Interesting bug. I'm cautiously optimistic this will get rid of the weekly annoyance. The difference is that I bought my laptop back in Feb 2015, so it came with Yosemite. I think the issue may have appeared soon after an OS update not long after I got the thing, though. I was using a sudo command in the Terminal, but that is obviously not a fix.
I wonder if there is a broken .plist file that may be fixed ...?

HT5559 Java web start does not work

I have followed the instructions in this article, including the last step about web start, but it still does not work, neither applets or web start. When I try to launch a JWS application by double clicking it I get the dreaded warning dialog:
To open this Web Start application, you need to download the Java Runtime Environment.
Click “More Info…” to visit the website for the Java Runtime Environment.
I do have a JRE installed, 1.6, since I for compatibility reasons can't upgrade.
Trying to launch a web start application from the commandline looks like this:
$ javaws /tmp/airview.jnlp
Java Web Start splash screen process exiting ...
Can not find message file: No such file or directory
Regular Java-programs work fine.
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_37"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)

Read this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4789691?tstart=0
This fixed the issue for me:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :JavaWebComponentVersionMinimum" /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta. plist
In the comments to the linked article someone suggests to comment out the node in stead of deleting it. Probably safer (it's explained further down how to do that). Anyway I already spent to much time on this nonsense, deleted it and it worked, so I'm happy.

DHCP with redundant Gateway does not work

I am having trouble connecting to my office network using Wifi.
I have done some investigation and found the problem which is...
When DHCP server serves the request and replies with multiple/redundant gateways, the device does take the IP and communicates within the local network but ignores the gateway and is not able to connect the outside network.
When I requested my Systems Administrator and he added specific setting for my device's MAC address and sent only one gateway in DHCP reply, device starts to connect outside.
Our office has other debian based and CentOS based systems running including Ubuntu workstations but none of them is having problem with multiple/redundant gateways but only N900 is having this problem. It means that the problem is not inherited from Linux or Debian but the bug is related to Maemo itself.
I have tried to tell add some technical details and do not expect answers like to check firewall and so. This is a genuine problem and is not intermittent. We have experienced it using MS DHCP server under windows 2003 and win 2k as well.
End users: Please try to duplicate the problem before suggesting a work around or anything
Developers/Admins/Officials: I hope you acknowledge the problem soon.

Yes it is uncommon configuration in house holds but in offices or places that have access to more than one Internet connection the configuration will be common. Houses normally have one small router with one internet connection. However in many offices the router is attached to multiple connections and manages fault-tolerance. Having said all that, regardless of how often it is used, when used it wont work and it is a bug.
In DHCP protocol "003 Router" is defined as a list of IPs not a single IP and if DHCP protocol is properly supported this should have work. What I mean is that this problem is related to DHCP implementation. Following is the output of route command...

/ $
I already posted the big on Bugzilla
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9662
Well I posted this here as well so if someone else also faces the same problem (not sure if there will be one) but they should at-least know the problem instead of thinking that why the hell my internet does not work in office when there is no firewall blocking it.. :-)
I do hope to get it viewed by a "sympathetic developer" :-)
I currently am not into develop/modify scripts but if this is not fixed by others then I believe I don't have a choice.
For now as I mentioned I did a work around by adding an IP reservation in my DHCP server which allows me to fix it to one Gateway for this MAC address only. But if I did not have admin access over my DHCP server, I was in trouble then and maybe would not be able to event troubleshoot and identify the problem.

Repair disk permissions does not work

Repair disk permissions does not work. Disk Uitliy fines many incorrect permissions (ACL found, but not expected) and says that it would repair it. However, when checked again, it finds the same permission errors.
I have tried Disk Utility as well as the command line "sudo diskutil repairPermissions /" (which probably does exactly the same as Disk Utility).
Any hints?
C.

Are you trying to Repair Permissions because you have file access problems in the System files, or just because you think you need to do it?
If the former, please explain what you are seeing. If the latter, stop wasting your time.
The things it doesn't repair are not repaired because there is nothing broken. The orginal Receipts files have the old settings, and subsequent updates have changed the permissions on those things to what they should be, now. It will report the differences it finds every time you run Repair Permissions because they will always be different and they should be the way they are.

Forget the environment script and specify the classpath when you execute
java. The path is not important, only the classpath.
java -cp ${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.jar utils.der2pem ...
