[01:15] Hi, I'm trying to figure out a permission issue on a .sh, I get permission denied, though I appear to seem to have it set correctly [01:16] prime_user@Xubuntu-E5450:~/scripts-pc$ ls -l [01:16] -rwxr-xrwx 1 prime_user prime_user 1443 Dec 2 2021 RNscript.sh [01:16] prime_user@Xubuntu-E5450:~/scripts-pc$ ./RNscript.sh [01:16] ./RNscript.sh: 61: exec: /home/prime_user/scripts-pc/lib/linux-x86_64/RNscript: Permission denied [01:41] RTJimmyC: looks like the file: !/scripts-pc/lib/linux-x86_64/RNscript you don't have permission to use... [01:45] Doesn't the last rwx mean that all users have execute privileges? [01:57] RTJimmyC: that is your script. but it must be trying to use the file: /home/prime_user/scripts-pc/lib/linux-x86_64/RNscript that is in another dir... [02:07] TY! I didn't realize there was a second file, works now [02:54] hi - just did a clean/minimal install of xubuntu 22.04.2 but system doesn't boot up [02:54] following error: [02:54] Gave up waiting for root file system device. [02:54] says something about a UUID not existing [02:55] any help would be appreciated [03:01] xu-irc1w: Did you manually set your partitions and fail to set '/' for root ? [03:01] i didn't manually set anything, just did automatic install in minimal mode [03:01] via USB [03:01] installed on a RAID-0 setup (the array works fine) [03:02] any details you need let me know [03:03] xu-irc1w: Next then is how are you booting - CSm or UEFI ? the way you boot the installer is how the system will boot. [03:03] i have no idea [03:03] i'll check [03:04] so go into my BIOS and look at what mode it's booting up with? and change it to the other one and see if it works? [03:05] BIOS seems to be in UEFI boot mode, from what i can see [03:06] xu-irc1w: Yeah = that is one option . be aware I have limited experiemne with raid - best I recall the boot code must reside outside of the raid array. [03:06] !raid | xu-irc1w [03:06] xu-irc1w: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [03:08] i mean, i already installed [03:08] so i think the RAID is working fine [03:09] it's basic software RAID, Intel [03:09] i've used it before with other OSes, works [03:09] i only say this because i'm not sure how those links will help ubottu [03:10] oh it's a bot [03:13] xu-irc1w: What I would do here is check the UUIDs in /etc/fstab file that match ' sudo blkid -c /dev/null '. [03:13] can you be more descriptive? i am relatively inexperienced with linux [03:14] you're asking me to compare UUIDs in 2 different areas, correct? [03:15] how do i check directories from shell? [03:16] xu-irc1w: sure ! ... boot up the insatller in "try ubuntu mode' activate a terminal > run thge blkid command - then in the file manager open the /etc/fstab file. [03:16] so i have to plug in the USB key again? [03:16] and boot from it? [03:17] xu-irc1w: are you prently in the shell of the problematic install ? [03:17] it goes into shell [03:17] after it fails to boot [03:17] yes [03:17] i just don't know linux commands [03:19] xu-irc1w: Not a problem - we all started to learn from nothing at some point :) ... from the current shell what results ' ls -al /etc/fstab ' ? [03:19] i did "blkid" command and it says some stuff [03:20] -rw-r--r--   1    0 /etc/fstab [03:23] ls -al /etc/fstab [03:23] shows [03:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 0 /etc/fstab [03:26] xu-irc1w: Great - you do have a shell vice a grub prompt - are you aware that a minimal instal has no GUI ? [03:26] it doesn't? [03:26] oh [03:26] lol [03:26] so no desktop and stuff? [03:27] xu-irc1w: Nope - ya get to choose what you want to install from that minmal :) [03:28] perhaps i should do a fresh install [03:28] full install [03:28] and go from there [03:28] because i am not good at linux so i can use GUI [03:29] xu-irc1w: That depends on what you want - I too prefer to build from a minimal install. Much less bloat and faster system. [03:29] i see [03:30] i am only running a server though [03:30] with a good system [03:30] so it's fine it marginally slower [03:30] xu-irc1w: ^ such however - oe ust know what they want :( [03:31] xu-irc1w: In a server - a gui is another attack vector ! Hense not generaly recommneded to run a GUI . [03:32] one must know* [03:32] k [03:32] but it is just a server for fun with friends [03:32] i am not advanced enough to do a 24/7 server lol [03:33] xu-irc1w: But someday you will be - experience and practice will make it so. [03:34] well i don't think i will ever be advanced enough, i have too many other hobbies [03:34] and linux is complicated [03:38] xu-irc1w: only as complicated as you choose to make it - choose your spin and ubuntu is almoast "sailor proof" :) // right now I do not understand how with " waiting for root file system device." you can even boot the kernel :( [03:39] i am doing a new install [03:39] full install [03:39] i hope it works [03:40] xu-irc1w: well - we are here if ya need :D [03:43] same problem, doesn't boot [03:43] ls -al /etc/fstab [03:43] shows the same thing as before [03:44] so what not? [03:44] now* [03:44] it says [03:44] -rw-r--r-- 1 0 /etc/fstab [03:45] xu-irc1w: do all the UUID's agree with what 'blkid' report ? [03:45] i don't know how to check that [03:45] xu-irc1w: ' less /etc/fstabv ' to see the file's contents. [03:46] typo ! [03:46] ' less /etc/fstab ' [03:46] you want me to type in 'blkid' ? [03:47] i did that [03:47] it shows me a UUID code [03:48] xu-irc1w: I swapped out from a mechanical keyboard - with this keyboard a lot of fat fingering going on :( [03:50] xu-irc1w: Yeah - ya need to make sure that ALL the UUIDs exactly match what the blkid shows for UUIDs . exactly! [03:51] how do i check the other UUIDs? [03:51] there is a UUID on the shell screen already [03:51] that one? [03:52] xu-irc1w: Does A Wimdows instal play into this also ? where Windows is holding a partition captive ? [03:52] i do not have windows on it [03:52] just linux install fresh' [03:53] when i try to boot it says [03:54] Gave up waiting for root file system device. [03:54] ALERT! UUID=blablabla does not exist. Dropping to a shell! [03:54] xu-irc1w: pastebin the results and I will check // I got ecperience :) ... run ' sudo blkid | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . pass me back the resulting locatig URL. [03:55] i don't know how to use that [03:55] sorry [03:55] just tell me how to change the UUID [03:56] xu-irc1w: No problem in that shell run command ' sudo blkid | nc termbin.com 9999 ' copy and paste the command for best results. [03:57] i want to learn though [03:57] tell me how to do this myself [03:57] i want to check it myself :) [03:57] xu-irc1w: We 1st make sure there is sometbing that needs changing :P [03:57] tell me how to check [03:57] i want to learn [03:57] i don't want pastebin because i don't learn [04:00] xu-irc1w: Me - I open a text editor and cupy the UUID as shown from ' less /etc/fstab ' then for each UUID I copy from ' sudo blkid' ad compare the results :D [04:00] ad/and* [04:00] command "less" not found [04:01] xu-irc1w: Wow - that is minimal !~ .. ok try with ' cat /etc/fstab ' [04:02] this is full install not minimal [04:02] i did "cat /etc/fstab" [04:02] nothing happened [04:04] xu-irc1w: ' ls -al /etc/fstab ' ? so we know we have shell interfase ! [04:04] -rw-r--r-- 1 0 /etc/fstab [04:08] that's what it says [04:10] i have to go soon [04:10] xu-irc1w: Then proofs we have a true shell - what now shows ' which less ' ? ( we got a path issue ?) [04:11] command: "which less" [04:11] result: nothing happens [04:12] xu-irc1w: plot thickens - how about ' ls -al /usr/bin/less ' ? [04:13] no such file or directory [04:15] i have to go very soon [04:15] xu-irc1w: Blows me away that "less" is not in a default install - how about ls -al /usr/bin/cat ' ? [04:16] it exists [04:16] xu-irc1w: then we can look from ' cat /etc/fstab ' . [04:17] just tell me what to type in but plz hurry [04:17] i have to go soon [04:17] i will be back later though, another day [04:17] xu-irc1w: I did ! >> cat /etc/fstab :D [04:17] i do that [04:17] nothing happens [04:18] command: "cat /etc/fstab" [04:18] result: nothing happens [04:19] xu-irc1w: Path issue ? what about ' /usr/bin/cat /etc/fstab ' ? [04:19] "usr/bin/cat/etc/fstab" ? [04:19] or [04:19] "usr/bin/cat /etc/fstab" ? [04:20] i did the second one [04:20] nothing happens [04:20] the latter - a space betwee /cet/ and /etc/ [04:21] thank you so much for your help but i unfortunately have to go for now [04:21] xu-irc1w: Makes absoltely no sense to me ! the tool exists and the file exists ! [04:21] it's OK, thank you! [04:21] i might come back later and try again [04:21] take care [04:21] laters ! === keypushe- is now known as keypusher [13:36] hello, I have a problem in Terminals with xubuntu 22.04. When I mark a command until end of line an paste the result, the command is not executed. I have to type ENTER explicitely. How can I recover the former behaviour, where the command was executed without typing ENTER? Thanks for any advice! [19:21] hello fellow linux users [19:21] are you all feeling linux today
