Crap you're right. Going to disable hibernate right now. It's caused me to lose too many important files.

I've noticed lately that some files are disappearing when rebooting into Windows from Linux. I have a partition formatted as exFAT that I use to store files that I need in both Linux and Windows. I...

Hello,

I have a script set up at work to rsync my work directory on my Ubuntu laptop to my work Windows desktop, which is connected to the laptop via a CIFS share.

Lately, it will get about...

rm command did not work.

Output of ls -ali:

6678 -rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 6 Jan 1 11:02 3KI1344

From directory above:

brandon@brandon-mint ~/work/New $ ls -ali
total 12

Is there really a need to directly access the root terminal at boot? That is a huge security risk.

If you need access to root, just sudo -s.

Shouldn't be trying to add yourself to the root group.

/var/www should be chowned to www-data:www-data. Anything under that will be writable by the user/group that created it, while still being...

brandon@brandon-mint ~/work/New/Waiting $ ls -alb
total 9
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 11:12 .
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 240 Jan 1 11:12 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 6 Jan 1 11:02 3KI1344...

Indeed it is. It's an NTFS partition that I share between my Linux and Windows installations. I work primarily in Linux but I am required to use some Windows programs from time to time.

Hello,

I have a file (which is supposed to be a directory) that is showing up with ls and also in Nautilus, but I cannot delete it. I have tried deleting it from the GUI, with rm -rf, and even...

sudo apt-get install samba smbclient cifs-utils

Install those, then try again.

Also, you can mount the network drive at boot using /etc/fstab.

Thanks, got it to run.

However, it only chose the first directory and didn't recurse into every single one like I need. Ex: Only went into the TRIM1 dir when TRIM2 exists also.

brandon@brandon-mint ~/work/New/2013 $ sh recur ~/work/New/2013/
recur: 3: recur: shopt: not found
recur: 6: recur: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "done")

Running without an argument...

Background: I work as a photographer for a car dealership that has photos of every single vehicle on the lot on their website. For new cars, I'm allowed to keep a library, so that when a vehicle with...

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update

Looks like a package may have been broken and is still cached. This will clean out the apt cache and update.

Why not just put an entry in /etc/fstab to mount the partition on startup?

I've followed several guides, which are mostly the same, on how to set up a VPN server. I've installed pptpd, setup the chap-secrets, implemented IP masquerading, forwarded port 1723, etc.

This link seems to outline what you're describing.

Dunno how to do it in the GUI but on the command line you can use the file command with the --mime-type switch.


man file

Boot into the recovery (to gain root) and do:


chown -hR root:root /etc

EDIT: Checking my /etc dir shows that some files are slightly different. The shadow and gshadow files should be...

The guide I posted in the OP only has /dev/null, which I did add.

One last thing hopefully, lol.

Now, instead of getting a user@host prompt it has "I have no name!@host" prompt and attempting to use nano yields a "Error opening terminal: xterm" error.

Ok I'm able to get in now and unable to go any higher than /var/jail, so that's good.

The problem now is that the user is placed into /var/jail instead of /var/jail/home/user upon logging in.
...

I set the user's shell to /var/jail/bin/bash, since it resides within the jail.

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a chroot jail for a user in /var/jail, following this guide http://allanfeid.com/content/creating-chroot-jail-ssh-access.

I've got everything set up, but upon...

I changed the name of the alternate sites-available file to "a" and everything is loading properly. I had read somewhere about Apache loading the default and then ignoring everything else.
