Watcher7 2017-01-30 15:46:25
I'll just replace the smaller icons with the larger ones.
Watcher7 2017-01-30 15:46:35

hi
cruncher 2017-01-30 16:17:32
does it exist something like snapshots.debian.org but for ubuntu packages?
linux228 2017-01-30 16:17:46
hi, how can I see what file permission applies to each file when the output is e.g. -rw-r--r-- when I do ls -l on a directory?
cruncher 2017-01-30 16:18:01
im looking for 13.04 packages, but they are not selectable in packages.ubuntu.com
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 16:19:28
linux228: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions .
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 16:20:07
!13.04 | cruncher
ubottu 2017-01-30 16:20:07
cruncher: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring
cruncher 2017-01-30 16:20:32
ubottu, yes, i know, so tehre is no archive of eol versions liek debian has?
cruncher 2017-01-30 16:20:44
Bashing-om, ^^
cruncher 2017-01-30 16:21:08
i will check the isos then...
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 16:22:53
cruncher: Well .. maybe, there is http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ .
linux228 2017-01-30 16:25:25
Bashing-om: I was reading that but I can't work out the simple part which is just listing the files that i've just looked at the permissions for
linux228 2017-01-30 16:25:45
like ls -l gives me -r for example, how do i list those two files?
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:26:49
linux228: not sure what you asking exactly you want to know how to display the file permissions for only two specific files using ls -l there is also ll
wedgie 2017-01-30 16:27:08
linux228: maybe back up just a bit... what are you actually trying to do?
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:27:35
wedgie: my centiments exactly
linux228 2017-01-30 16:27:53
I'm looking at a directory to see what files are in it and what their permissions are
db0 2017-01-30 16:28:03
Hi all
Bashing-om 2017-01-30 16:28:31
linux228: Pardom me if U am being dense her .. but the 'r' in the permissiins files is to indicate that "read" us avaialable in that contect . Has nothing to do with any additional listing .
linux228 2017-01-30 16:28:53
I ran ls -l in the directory and got back -rw-r--r-- so I assume there's 9 files in there?
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:29:01
linux228: your trying to the list the files in the directory using ls -l "directory name"
linux228 2017-01-30 16:29:10
yes Biosphere_50
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:29:20
linux228: ok I think I understand now one sec
linux228 2017-01-30 16:29:35
it's the /etc/shadow directory if it's relevant
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:29:45
linux228: should be able todo ls -l /etc/shadow/
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:29:56
but you need access to thie directory may need to sudo it
linux228 2017-01-30 16:30:06
i have root access
linux228 2017-01-30 16:30:18
yeah, i get back -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 704 mar 3 2011 /etc/shadow
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:30:33
not the contents of the folder?
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:30:39
make sure you leave a trailing /
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:31:04
shadow is a file not a directory
linux228 2017-01-30 16:31:14
oh is it :|
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:31:26
roger that
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:31:48
it would have a leading d if it was a directory before the drw-r--r--
linux228 2017-01-30 16:33:01
aha, leading -, I get it. So now I just need to decipher the rest haha
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:33:33
the first group is user then group perminission and the last group is other
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:33:49
example -rwx is for user perms
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:34:01
-rwxrwx is for group perms
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:34:12
-rwxrwxrwx is for other if you catch my drift
linux228 2017-01-30 16:34:24
thanks a lot man
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:34:26
first character is to identify if its a directory
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:34:30
no problem
linux228 2017-01-30 16:36:12
-rw-r--r-- would be a file where owner can read, write but not execute, and group can read only, and same with other. Makes sense :D
Biosphere_50 2017-01-30 16:36:32
exactly, bingo you got it
