Tiger - can't view html file

[Kevbert]

Hi, I've just installed tiger from the repos and run it once in terminal with

tiger -H
If I try to view the output file I do not have the privileges to view it in /var/log/tiger/ and Firefox displays a blank screen. How do I get the privileges ?
Thanks in advance.

I think Tiger runs as root, so it will generate files owned by root as well. For security purposes, that file is probably set to be readable only by its owner.

You could copy it to your desktop and change its permissions there:


sudo cp /var/log/tiger/file.html ~/Desktop
sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/Desktop/file.html

Or you could run Firefox as root:


gksudo firefox /var/log/tiger/file.html

The argument against the first one would probably be that, since Tiger generates files with sensitive security information in them, you shouldn't copy them, or allow normal users to view them.

Thanks for that. Tried the second one with wireless deactivated. Nothing much to worry about.
