[SOLVED] /usr/local/tce.installed permission errors

[apacherulzz]

I did some searching and it seems as if any extensions downloaded with app browser should have the correct permissions so im thinking this is a bug. I read that Jason had a script but had trouble locating it to find out which extensions are causing the problems. System boots fine, really. Just thought that it may cause some weird issues later. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

[Jason W]

What exactly is happening?

[apacherulzz]

Sorry, I guess that wasnt very descriptive

So when I boot, I have the showapps boot option enabled so I can see the extensions that are being loaded. Please bear with me as I am completely new to these types of distros.

I installed MicroCore and am using the i3 wm with the latest version of Xorg (i found it odd synaptics driver required previous version...may revert for scrolling functionality). In the Onboot.lst where I am loading all of my extensions, I have Xprog, Xlib, Xorg, etc. but I am loading Xorg related extensions first. The very first extensions loads fine but the next 5 give a touch error that permissions where denied to /usr/local/tce.installed/{respective dir} . ls -l shows tce.installed is root staff, almost all of the files inside this dir are however tc staff. Some are root staff. The one I think is causing problems...Xprogs, the second item in my onboot.lst. It is root root. This is the first of 4 or 5 that gives the permission denied error.

i found it odd synaptics driver required previous versio

the synaptics driver is contained in the Xorg-7.5 extension, but not in the Xorg-7.4 extension

Xprogs, the second item in my onboot.lst. It is root root. This is the first of 4 or 5 that gives the permission denied error.

the /usr/local/tce.installed folder should be owned by root:staff in all of the extensions

[apacherulzz]

ahh didn't know that about the new Xorg...I need to look into enabled the scrolling mechanism on my touchpad then.

as far as the permissions of /usr/local...i changed them all to what they should be but of course a restart and everything is back to where it was. I thought I read that the permissions are a part of the extension. Do I need to make /usr/local/tce.installed persistent or something?

[Jason W]

Here is a comand to identify potential offenders with wrong tce.installed perms on your installed system.

Code: [Select]

for I in `ls /tmp/tcloop/`; do [ -d /tmp/tcloop/"$I"/usr/local/tce.installed \
] && ls -l /tmp/tcloop/"$I"/usr/local/tce.installed | grep -v "rwxrwxr-x" | grep -v "drwxrwsr-x" | \
grep -v "root staff" ; done



[Juanito]

Do I need to make /usr/local/tce.installed persistent or something?

No, it's the extension owner's job to fix the permissions if required - you could drop them a pm

[apacherulzz]

@Jason

your script returns nothing. it seems the permissions should be set properly. why would I be getting this messages on boot?

@Juanito

Thank you, once I figure out what the problem is, if appropriate PMs will be sent

PS: It was painstakingly obvious to figure out synaptics driver. got it working this morning

[Jason W]

I updated the command, it should work now.  There was a bug in it.

[apacherulzz]

sorry : / still nothing

[curaga]

Let's list them all.

ls -ld /tmp/tcloop/*/usr/local/tce.installed

[apacherulzz]

I have nothing in tcloop... 

tc@box:/usr/local/tce.installed$ ls -ld /tmp/tcloop/*/usr/local/tce.installed
ls: /tmp/tcloop/*/usr/local/tce.installed: No such file or directory

EDIT: maybe you wanted a space after the *?

in that case tcloop is completely empty

here is my /usr/local/tce.installed if that helps 

tc@box:/usr/local/tce.installed$ ls -l

So you load them to ram? Then you'd need to scan the extensions on disk...

[Jason W]

I fixed the ownership of the xpdf install script from root:root to root:staff though it should be of no consequence in this case since it was the script and not the tce.installed directory that had the root:root ownership.

[Jason W]

Xprogs.tcz had root:root ownership of it's /usr/local/tce.installed directory and installed script, which could possibly result in the permission error with the touch command when loading subsequent extensions that do not contain a startup script.  Corrected and uploaded, update and see if that fixes it.
