if a file has rw for a specific owner, can i get another user have read access of that file.. aotumatically?
squeakytoy 2017-01-26 06:50:02
somehow
nacc 2017-01-26 06:50:57
squeakytoy: huh? using normal unix permissions, a file cannot have rw for a specific owner, just whoever the owner currently is.
OerHeks 2017-01-26 06:50:58
squeakytoy, sure, make a group with those permissions, and add the current and 'another' user member of that group
nacc 2017-01-26 06:51:10
squeakytoy: but i think you are referring to 'groups', by what you said
squeakytoy 2017-01-26 06:51:37
My FTP server uploads a file with owner X, but Apache is owner Y, needs to read it, hm
ikonia 2017-01-26 06:51:54
sort the permissions out then
squeakytoy 2017-01-26 06:52:08
in what way?
ikonia 2017-01-26 06:52:26
squeakytoy: look at groups or masks
OerHeks 2017-01-26 06:52:32
Oh, i see i am wrong, one user r/w and apache only read?
squeakytoy 2017-01-26 06:52:54
OerHeks, if i inspect the file, group has ni rights, doesn't the file need to have rw on group level as well?
tgm4883 2017-01-26 06:53:01
acl's should also work
squeakytoy 2017-01-26 06:53:17
the file gets "-rw-------", so I am not sure groups would work here?
ikonia 2017-01-26 06:53:18
acls' don't work out well with ftp depending on the server
tgm4883 2017-01-26 06:54:04
ikonia: can't you force acl's on everything in a directory? Doesn't sound like FTP needs to care about it since we're worried about Apache having access
ikonia 2017-01-26 06:55:07
tgm4883: it's to do with how some of the ftp servers for privileged seperaration or assume "user" roles
tgm4883 2017-01-26 06:55:28
ah

I've just completed a minimal install, and I'd like to go back and add some packages I need to make networking work. Can I do this from the bootable installer? how?
OerHeks 2017-01-26 07:06:45
Retr0id, mini iso has no live environment, i think you have to start all over
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:07:19
Hmm. I did select the "manually selelect packages" option during tasksel, but it didn't seem to do anything
OerHeks 2017-01-26 07:07:48
What desktop did you choose?
koulis1984 2017-01-26 07:07:58
hello all :)
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:08:07
Me? "None of the above"
OerHeks 2017-01-26 07:09:33
Retr0id, oke, then start the install again and choose a desktop, else use the server iso for manually setting networking?

I'm about to install Lubuntu on a thumb drive for the second time. I hade to use the thumb for something else temp. This time I'd like to save a snapshot (image, whatever) to an external of my final install. What's the best way to do this and do I need to chose LVM?
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:11:28
> "You can also select "Manual package selection" which will take you to aptitude. "
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:11:34
How do I make this option work?
OerHeks 2017-01-26 07:11:57
Retr0id, i think you need to choose a desktop first?
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:12:03
No
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:12:09
I've done this before
OerHeks 2017-01-26 07:14:29
Retr0id, this page gives a hint > sudo apt-get install gdm/lightdm/lxdm network-manager >> https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-a-minimal-ubuntu-on-old-laptop/
OerHeks 2017-01-26 07:14:49
so it can be done, if you have installed a desktop i guess
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:14:49
Yeah, and that command requires network
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:14:53
*facepalm*
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:16:58
Hm, perhaps I am running into this bug?
OerHeks 2017-01-26 07:16:59
Retr0id, no, packages should be available, if you keep the cd into the drive

akik 2017-01-26 07:17:49
Retr0id: the command is tasksel if you have that
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:17:51
I'm on 16.10 though. Anyone know if that bug still applies?
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:18:15
Can I run tasksel/apt from the installation media?
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:18:35
I'm going to try chrooting in from the installer

hello
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:28:29
I can confirm that chrooting in from the install media works. I thought ubuntu was supposed to be simple...
BluesKaj 2017-01-26 07:30:39
Retr0id, it is, if you have a bios , uefi not so much , unless you use legacy mode and turn off the security and fast modes
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:32:37
What does that have to do with things? I have a BIOS though.
gkarr 2017-01-26 07:36:50
woot
yacc 2017-01-26 07:39:13
BluesKaj, well, that's only because UEFI tries to be mini-OS (arguably with more OS functionality built into it than MS-DOS had), hence all UEFI implementations are not really such, the "no serious bugs" UEFI implemention still lives on as vaporware.
yacc 2017-01-26 07:40:02
BluesKaj, legacy BIOS is not much better, but it's buggyness and crazy behaviors we have studied for 2+ decades, so it works usually slightly nicer.
BluesKaj 2017-01-26 07:43:09
yacc, I couldn't be bothered with UEFI/BIOS and GPT when I received my laptop, it was msdos table and legacy for me, after wiping W8.1 off the map
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:43:56
well, now my system is boot looping. That's enough ubuntu for the day...
BluesKaj 2017-01-26 07:44:54
Retr0id, you already posted that
