why is this called #unix ? Don't most people use Linux? Linux was inspired by Unix, but they aren't the same software, so what gives here? I don't see a #linux

is the server owner confused??

Unix refers to all "Unix like" systems as well

Unix includes Linux ~~kind of~~ and macOS

why does sort not work properly on this text file?

#

475.66
0 20 1 6 13 7 8 19 21 22 5 17 11 16 10 28 4 25 9 23 18 3 24 14 29 26 2 27 15 12

#

after running sort with -o and -g

#

i get

0 20 1 6 13 7 8 19 21 22 5 17 11 16 10 28 4 25 9 23 18 3 24 14 29 26 2 27 15 12 
475.66

#

i would expect the first line to be sorted too

cold pagoda Apr 9, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

How are you sorting it?

#

If you're just sorting the lines, then it won't try to sort within the lines itself

#

The lines will be compared on lexicographical order as well, not the numeric values, since they're probably strings

strange bobcat Apr 9, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

well im using -g flag

#

i want to sort lines and sort by lines

cold pagoda Apr 9, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

Oh, you're not using Python to sort the files

strange bobcat Apr 9, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

nah 😄

#

im using unix sort

cold pagoda Apr 9, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

Will that not just sort the lines of the file? Not the text within a line? I'm not on linux right now, so i can't check myself

strange bobcat Apr 9, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

yeah it sorts only the lines

#

but i want to sort the text within a line too

#

i think it detects if there are newlines and sorts by lines

#

i think if there are no newlines then it sorts whitespace delimited

worn apex Apr 9, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

if there are no newlines it's just one line

strange bobcat Apr 9, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

i only want to sort lines

#

i want to sort data within the lines

#

is there a way to do this with sort?

worn apex Apr 9, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

you could use sed, awk, or tr, to break it into lines, sort, then rejoin the lines

#

if you also want more than one line, you have a bigger problem though

strange bobcat Apr 9, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

yeah I want more than one line :\

worn apex Apr 9, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

do you want the lines sorted too, or just each line sorted separately

strange bobcat Apr 9, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

just each line sorted separately

#

i mean if i want the lines sorted i could rerun sort like i do now

#

sorting each line is more critical

worn apex Apr 9, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

anyway it'd probably be easiest to write a python script - sort is good for large datasets, but not flexible enough to do what you're trying to do

#

(and if your dataset fits on one line it's probably not that large - you can do this one line at a time if the file is large)

Is there a .jar file that could install python

oak shell Apr 9, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

why jar, of all things? GWchadThinkeyes

#

jar is a java archive. Python is its own language, and the standard interpreter is written in C mainly (CPython).

#

There is Jython, a Python interpreter implementation in Java, but that project is basically dead, I believe.

vestal turret Apr 10, 2019, 1:08 PM

Not to long ago I was at one that required you to install a cert aswell.

deft raft Apr 10, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

I read their wiki, claims i should not need a cert

undone pulsar Apr 10, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

Okay so looks like you need to make a file in /etc/wpa_supplicant with

network={
    ssid="eduroam"
    scan_ssid=1
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    eap=TTLS
    anonymous_identity="anonymous@ox.ac.uk"
    # adjust the following CA line as required to match your filename
    ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/AddTrust_External_Root.pem"
    phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
    # in the following line, replace <username> with your University Remote Access account username, without angle brackets
    # Remote access account is described at http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/remote/ 
    # (not your SSO). Append @OX.AC.UK after your username so
    # that eduroam knowns the authentication home site
    identity="<username>@ox.ac.uk"
    # in the following line, replace <password> with your University Remote Access account password, without angle brackets
    password="<password>"
}

deft raft Apr 10, 2019, 1:09 PM

But for my uni then.

undone pulsar Apr 10, 2019, 1:10 PM

Then find out what your wifi device is called with ip link list, it'll usually be something like wlan0 or wlp2s0

vestal turret Apr 10, 2019, 1:28 PM

#

Starting with the linux kernel 2.6.14, madwifi and wpa_supplicant can communicate using
wpa_supplicant's ”wext” driver using the kernel's “wireless extensions”.
For older kernel versions, you will need wpa_supplicant's ”madwifi” driver```

That's really old

Eduroam? Our University networks are called that here. It's a shared auth thing with a lot of Universities participating

you might be dealing with an 'enterprise' authentication system or like kerberos.

#

looks like some possible spec names are: WPA2 Enterprise, PEAP, RADIUS

#

if you can figure out which one they use, we can help figure out the settings/extra software needed for it @deft raft

deft raft Apr 10, 2019, 6:02 PM

Enterprise would make sense

as its what it defaulted to as well when i oped the wifi gui

grave jolt Apr 10, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

found a bug report where out of date tls versions on their radius server make linux mad and you need a custom config file https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1104476

#

their symptom was that it kept asking for a password

#

and they talk about eduroam specifically

deft raft Apr 10, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

but does it apply to manjaro '?

grave jolt Apr 10, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

its likely an upstream issue with network manager, reading over this

so prob

deft raft Apr 10, 2019, 6:07 PM

Also this was reported in 2013 yert

grave jolt Apr 10, 2019, 6:07 PM

SIGTERM stands for Signal Termination, it's a Signal sent by the system to a process or a bunch of processes to request it's Termination. It can be caught by the process itself, so the process can do custom functions (save state, free resources) before exiting nicely

  bDescriptorType         1

  bcdDevice            4.15
  iManufacturer           3 Linux 4.15.0-42-generic xhci-hcd
  iProduct                2 xHCI Host Controller

#

is this usb 2.0 or 3.0?

#

I found informations that if there is xHCI that means USB 3.0, but bcdUSB says 2.0 and there is 2.0 root hub in device description

#

This is also information about this same device:
Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/12p, 480M

#

480M suggests that it is USB 2.0, but I can't check it, becouse it is USB type-c port

USB 3.1 Gen 2/USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds
USB 3.2 2x2 speeds

Thunderbolt 3

oak shell Apr 12, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

you can not bind to an already used port, i.e. if you use -L to listen on your localhost and forward requests through the tunnel to anything reachable from the server, your local port must not be used yet

#

but the remote port you forward requests to can of course be used already - it should even, otherwise nothing will respond

pi         443   438  0 18:32 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/python3.5 /home/pi/Desktop/stuff.py
pi         969   917  0 18:48 pts/2    00:00:00 grep --color=auto python

#

Can I assume that there is a single instance or is that 2 instances?

#

it seems the first entry is the parent of the 2nd entry

#

I'm just not sure if it's actual 2 parallel running scripts or a single one

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

the first one is the sh process, the second one is the python process

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

I don't know if it's a good place to ask here but I have two drives, one with linux and one that has windows. I am unable to access the rest of the drive via command line unless if I open up an application like nemo and click the drives and such

#

Is there a way to do this from command line

#

🖕 pwd
/media/ouji
🖕 ls
🖕

#

This is a sample output when I'm in the drive location

#

once I open nemo and click both drives I see:

#

🖕 58D2433BD2431C9E 9CB88C1CB88BF356

#

those being my drives

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

so this is because stuff like gnome or whatever desktop environment you have is mounting it for you when you access the drives via their gui

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

Should I be mounting them into a location or?

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

you can set up fstab to mount that drive on boot

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

Okay

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

i dont remember the syntax off the top of my head, but youll want to use partition type ntfs and set it to auto mount

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

Where should I mount them?

#

do I mount in mnt or just use media?

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

i usually do something like /media/drivename eg /media/windows_c

#

linux always expects /media to have multiple sub directories that are each a different partition so its a good place to do it

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

Okay, then generally, what do people use the /mnt/ directory for?

#

This article seems to place the mounts in /mnt

How to Mount a Windows Partition in Ubuntu Using fstab

Explained guide for mounting a (windows) partition or any other device using fstab in Ubuntu.

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

its for a single drive iirc , its for you to temp mount something as needed

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

Ah

#

But your solution is more permanent/ reg use

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

so /mnt is for the sysadmin to do work on the computer or temp mount a cd or usb drive

#

its basically not used much

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

what package is fstab part of?

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

its a core part of linux in general. its in /etc/fstab

#

it has a special syntax but every init system should run something to parse it for you as needed

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

I can't find it

#

Is is just a file?

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

yea

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

Do I just add in the other drives?

#

Also, is there a safer way to edit fstab or are you just supposed to text editor it

#

Does this seem right?

#

UUID=9CB88C1CB88BF356 /media/WINDOWS_C_DRIVE/ ntfs

#

for formatting?

#

@grave jolt

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

you need the options too

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

what should I have?

#

default?

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

eg
/dev/sda3 /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 0

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

you can just use /dev/sdaX?

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

though you can use UUID instead of a drive path

#

yea

#

uuid is more reliable

#

its the actual partition id and if your drive order changes it continues to work

#

the drive path fails if your drive order changes

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

Do I have to do anything else?

#

If I edited fstab?

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

well next you gotta make the system mount it
you can do mount /media/WINDOWS_C_DRIVE/ to test it
and if it works it should work on reboot

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

Almost fucked it up

#

have to have the ol username in there

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

yeah you might need to specify what user has access to it once mounted, since windows partitions dont have the same user ids as your linux install

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

It refused to mount becuase window is hibernating

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

oh rip i remember that being annoying to clear

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

I probably just have to boot in and not restart when I want to get to linux but instead shut down

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

yea

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

Could that be it?

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

and make sure windows doesnt do some weird hybrid sleep thing instead of shutdown

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

Okay

#

Cya in a bit

grave jolt Apr 18, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

psure it can choose to hibernate INSTEAD of shutting down depending on your settings

clear zodiac Apr 18, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

Got it working

#

so idk

clear zodiac Apr 19, 2019, 2:08 AM

#

The partition does seem to be read only still

#

@grave jolt

grave jolt Apr 19, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

you might need ntfs-3g or whatever the package is called in order to write to ntfs on your distro

#

your distros documentation should have a bit more info about mounting ntfs

clear zodiac Apr 19, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

when I run sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda4 I see that windows is hibernated

#

Is there a setting or something that is making this difficult

#

my pc was off moments ago

#

I imagine that shouldn't made the windows shut down

#

got it

#

sorry.

#

Is this everywhere or just specific applications/terminal?

#

Check if the system sound settings have anything regarding alert sounds that you can disable

#

If terminal, there might be a setting to disable the terminal bell in its configuration

#

Otherwise, you can e.g. blacklist the pcspkr kernel module if it is actually loaded

urxvt can do that prob way easier but your shell is likely a good place to do it if you just want to change like the bg

cause xterm prob just sees the shell itself

hello

#

is anyone who aware of debian/buntu preseed file, why to use it instead of basic shell script?

grave jolt Apr 22, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

because its way easier to use the config file format designed for the installer than to try to figure out how to insert text in to an installer or hook in to its internal private methods
using the config file will be easier to maintain long term as the installer changes between releases
there are also standard tools and techniques for deploying the config file to make automated installs faster, eg pxeboot / custom cd images

#

its similar to using ansible/puppet etc over ssh + shell scripts, it gives you access to a stable environment and a widely supported ecosystem

I am trying to get pip to install modules to python 3.7 but they're installing into python 3.5.3 and I'm on raspbian on a raspberry pi

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

so when you call python3.7 -m pip install <module> they actually are installed to 3.5.3?

#

or does only your python3 point to python3.5.3 and not your python3.7?

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

Yeah, everything's installed to 3.5.3

#

With pip

Please ping me

#

Raspbian from NOOBS

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

What does that mean exactly? :D

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

That it is possible that lightdm has a problem from time to time with it's xorgconf thingy

#

especially if it hasn't been run properly ( or killed )

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

What can I do to remedy it?

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

If you can't login, you need to have to use the terminal

#

There you should still be able to login

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

Right, how do I do that? :D

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

if you press the key combination from above, you should get a black terminal, if not please try to press all the at once (from F1 to F7)

#

and tell me if you get one

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

None worked ):

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

give me a second, maybe I have a raspian here somewhere

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

Everyone here is so nice ❤

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

ok it's booting now

#

you boot directly into the raspbian login screen, right?

#

@gritty bobcat and do you have anything important on the raspiberry (data wise)?

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

I mean

#

I could restart, but I've been trying to get discord.py working on it for hours, so I could do that

#

Pip just never seems to use 3.7, which is my original problem,

#

I'm trying to use it to run a discord bot

#

Ok, Imma reload NOOBS and get Raspbian on it again

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

I just say that because I often de-installed the UI and it may be easier to just do it once more if you really can't access not even a single terminal.

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

Ok, I'm copying it over

#

I was directed to this:
https://gist.github.com/SeppPenner/6a5a30ebc8f79936fa136c524417761d
Is this very good?

#

All I need is python 3.7 that has "requests", "MySQL Connector" and "discord.py" and I'll be all golden

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

Otherwise I have this script to potentially fix the lightdm problem

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

But pip isn't being friendly ):

#

So in a sec, I'll load up NOOBS and do I want Raspbian with recommended programs or just Raspbian?

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

I would just go with something very light, like raspbian without UI

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

Ehh

#

I'll take the UI for now

#

Just incase

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

as you normally don't want anything graphical for the server.

#

but do as you like

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

It's very low usage so it's fine I think

#

Ok

#

It's almost done copying over to the SD

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:29 PM

The terminal hotkeys should be working but the reinstall won't take too long either

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

It's just initialising, one second please :D

#

Ok, I'm just installing raspbian with NOOBS

#

@plain bramble We have Raspbian back up and running, do these look right for getting python 3.7?

sudo apt-get update -y

cd Python-3.7.0
./configure
make -j 4
sudo make altinstall```

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

yes you can try that

#

tell me what the result of python3.7 -V is after that

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

Ok, Python 3.7.0 @plain bramble

#

Now to install pip so that it installs the modules in 3.7 🤔

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

Don't you already have pip, again what is the output of the command I gave you. Call python3.7 -m pip list

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 8:13 PM

#

Yeah, 10.0.1

#

So if I install modules using pip, will it apply them to 3.7?

#

@plain bramble Do I have to change anything about pip?

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 8:16 PM

#

This is why I advise you to use python3.7 -m in almost every command I suggested. To make sure you install with the right pip version from the right python instance

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

Is that what -m does?

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

Your default pip (3.7) should be fine to let you install the modules you want

#

-m runs the arugment as a module

#

The steps you posted above for example don't make sure that the python version is the one that is always used when you enter python

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 8:20 PM

#

I'm just following directions from Mr. Hemlock

#

So will pip3 install requests not be what I want? How do I do python3.7 -m with that? :D

Your pip3 may still point to 3.5.3 not 3.7 as python3.7 was installed but not set as the default

#

you can call pip3.7 directly if you want

#

if it's in your path of course

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

How do I add it to my path?

#

@plain bramble

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

I'm not sure if we can do that without problems (as other packages of raspbian may expect an older version of pip or different target), though it's either where python3.7 and the result of that is to be entered in .bashrc, as alias python='<the result of that>' so you use python3 as default which is maybe what you want or echo "${PATH}:<and then the result of where pip3.7>" and export PATH; But there are other ways I can imagine too

gritty bobcat Apr 23, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

Is there no way for me to just did it temporarily

#

Just to install 3 modules and then be done?

plain bramble Apr 23, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

python3.7 -m pip <your pip command> is the same as pip3.7 <your pip command>

#

alias is temporary for the current shell session

#

so you could do alias pip3.7="$(where pip3.7)"

#

I think you will get the rest of the stuff without me having a raspi running

#

so I shutdown my raspi

I'm trying to make a systemd file for starting my discord bot, but am encountering problems running pipenv (/usr/local/bin/python3.6: No module named virtualenv)
Terminal output here: https://hastebin.com/xupasujohi.rb
Any help on resolving this?

sharp shell Apr 25, 2019, 5:19 AM

what i do is set the user to the one that created the environment, ensure the working directory is the directory you'd activate pipenv, and ensure you're executing pipenv itself

#

[Unit]
Description=Eevee
After=network.target

Any suggestions for getting getting all the current mice?

I'm using xinput atm but I can't reliably tell which devices are the USB ones. It does have an event id to match in /dev/input, so now's as good a time as any to get familiar with it I guess.

what info do you need about them @somber stirrup ?

oak shell Apr 25, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

if you want to basically detect when a mouse or anything like that gets connected, you should probably learn about udev and make scripts for that

#

(other) things to look at might be the udevadm command, /sys/class/hidraw/hidraw*/device/uevent, /sys/class/input/mouse*/device/uevent, ...

if i these 2 commands at the same time

is there a possibility that one of the file is overwritten by contents of another cos sed -i makes temporary files with the same name?

oak shell Apr 25, 2019, 9:08 PM

why would it, you have two different input files there

somber stirrup Apr 25, 2019, 9:10 PM

@oak shell I had found udev but I didn't know about /sys/class/input/mouse*/device/ueven. Thanks!

rose cairn Apr 25, 2019, 9:16 PM

@oak shell yes, but when i run both of them in parallel and if bot the input files are in the same folder, it overwrites

#

not always

#

but sometimes

#

i saw that the temporary file created by sed always had the same name

which makes me believe that this issue is being caused by that

hmm, dunno about that. That would surprise me tbh, but I haven't investigated that detail so far

surreal vapor Apr 28, 2019, 8:13 PM

What are some good free resources to start learning Linux or more specifically Kali in general

tough jungle Apr 28, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

honestly i started with youtube and a virtual machine

oak shell Apr 28, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

honest recommendation: start with a user-friendly distro like Ubuntu. Once you know your way around that and are familiar with administrating it through the command-line and know stuff like services, networking, etc, you can continue and look at what Kali offers.

#

It's a highly specialized distro with the only purpose of forensics, pentesting and such stuff. It is in no way meant to be run by newcomers, or as a daily desktop driver.

#

I mean, sure, you can install it and click a bit through some of the GUI tools without understanding anything and then go back disappointed. But that doesn't help you much.

surreal vapor Apr 28, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

Oh okay

#

I'm looking towards getting the OSCP so I thought I'd start with Kali but I can start with whatever as long as I learn the basics. Which version of Ubuntu do you recommend?

#

@oak shell

oak shell Apr 28, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

either 18.04 LTS for stable and long term support until 2023, or the latest is 19.04 which has support till next January.

#

which flavour is purely subjective and depends on which desktop you like better, or if you have an older/weaker computer, you might want to take a lighter one

robust cave Apr 28, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

if you can’t decide, there’s nothing wrong with going for the LTS version and sticking with that

@dull vigil please don't cross post questions across help channels.

#

If the monitor is not getting anything even on POST, such as the BIOS splash screen or boot status, then you may have hardware issues. Perhaps contact your local IT specialist to have a look at it.

gilded basalt Apr 29, 2019, 6:25 AM

#

Remove all power

#

Reset CMOS

#

Basically pop the case, look up the motherboard model, read the manual, and see how to reset it

#

Then try powering it on again

#

If you have a gpu laying around you could also try that

#

The default screen device might have gotten set to something that isn't active

#

And /or the internal gpu is dying

quick current Apr 29, 2019, 7:06 AM

#

If it was working fine prior to a power outage, sure, it might be the BIOS settings... but old hardware misbehaving after a power outage often means something died. Old capacitors tend to go if there's unexpected power fluctuations. Somewhat helpfully, what often dies first in that case is the power supply, and that's relatively easy to swap out and try another one, so might want to start there.

#

That's assuming that you're not getting lights/fans. If you are, could be a number of things. Graphics card is a good place to look, but you said "server", and they often don't have dedicated graphics cards in expansion slots, so...

How do I change permissions so that people can only delete their own files?

oak shell Apr 29, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

sticky bit

#

RESTRICTED DELETION FLAG OR STICKY BIT
       The restricted deletion flag or sticky bit is a single bit, whose interpretation depends on the file type.  For  directo‐
       ries,  it  prevents  unprivileged users from removing or renaming a file in the directory unless they own the file or the
       directory; this is called the restricted deletion flag for the directory, and is commonly found on world-writable  direc‐
       tories  like /tmp.  For regular files on some older systems, the bit saves the program's text image on the swap device so
       it will load more quickly when run; this is called the sticky bit.

#

from man chmod

raw shoal Apr 29, 2019, 12:22 PM

#

So pretty much if i want "sticky bit" to disallow people deleting other people´s files i should just do "sudo chmod +t /path/to/file

oak shell Apr 29, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

the directory should be rwx for the users who have to write things there plus t to prevent deleting of other users' files, yes

#

like /tmp

#

but it has to be on the folder, not the individual files contained

raw shoal Apr 29, 2019, 12:34 PM

#

So i should add the "t" to group? So like sudo chmod +t "group"

oak shell Apr 29, 2019, 12:35 PM

#

group?

raw shoal Apr 29, 2019, 12:35 PM

#

So pretty much i have a file which if you´re in a specific group you get the rwx permissions, and should i add the t to that group?

oak shell Apr 29, 2019, 12:36 PM

#

t is independend of owner and group

#

just slap it on the directory where people have write access to create files, but shall not delete those created by others

raw shoal Apr 29, 2019, 12:37 PM

#

So like i said earlier? sudo chmod +t /path/to/file

#

That would work?

robust cave Apr 29, 2019, 12:47 PM

#

it should be /path/to/directory, since you're restricting file deletion in a directory

raw shoal Apr 29, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

so the ll should look something like this, keep in mind i want "others" to have no access or permissions. drwxrwx--T

Aren't macOS applications self contained?

Presumably all you'd have to do is delete PyCharm from the applications folder

#

Well, maybe the configuration is stored elsewhere

#

Anyway, I think wiping PyCharm is a bit of a drastic measure.

If you describe the errors you're getting in one of the help channels (or #tools-and-devops if this really is a PyCharm-specific problem rather than matplotlib/Python), maybe someone will know what's wrong
