Help! I've been trying to get UCK to work on 11.10 Ubuntu, whenever it gets to the part where you select the package manager, it'd say something along the lines of "No package manager found." I've tried installing synaptic and muon with no luck...

[QUOTE=esalaka;34241693]Perhaps you need to chmod a-rwx,u=rwx .ssh

[editline]16th January 2012[/editline]

that is, only give perms to the httpd user

[editline]16th January 2012[/editline]

At least that's how my .ssh is set up[/QUOTE]

Still nothing.

I ran:

# chmod a-rwx,u=rwx /srv/http/.ssh

Should I apply this to the key file in .ssh too?

The server replies with:

Using username "http".
Server refused our key

And PuTTY says:

Should it really matter who owns .ssh since sshd is the one who is using the key and that is running as root?

Is there perhaps a way to check which keys that sshd can find, maybe manually add a path to a config file somewhere?

I believe it does matter.
My .ssh folder has a permission of 700, owned by my user and group. And authorized_keys has a permission of 600, also owned by my user and group.

And are you putting your .ssh folder in the right place? You say you're trying to use the http user, is their home folder /home/http or something else?
If it's the system's Apache user account, the home is probably /var/www, so you would use /var/www/.ssh

[QUOTE=Surma;34290018]Should it really matter who owns .ssh since sshd is the one who is using the key and that is running as root?[/QUOTE]

sshd only allows keys that nobody but the owner has access to. I was assuming you already had only user privileges on authorized_keys. PvtCupcakes is correct.

Well, I finally got Arch to a usable state! I think I have GDM installed correctly, and I have a really shitty uncustomized XFCE4 for the DE. Still lots to do!

Awesome! After using Fedora and Ubuntu, I was convinced Gnome 3 would always run slowly on my netbook, but then I installed it myself via Arch and it's lightning-quick. It's a strangely powerful sensation to set up your own computer from the ground up.

Here's a picture by the way.

Try clearing your pacman cache
alternatively try making sure that you merged pacman 4.x's new pacman.conf with your current one

If you use vim (or gvim) for editing, then use this command and work out the differences (use gvimdiff if you use gvim).

vimdiff /etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew

Are you sure you're using a version of X that has the vuln?

[Demache]

Hmm, just tried this in my Arch VM, and it does in fact work. Sort of odd.

Yep, 1.11.1 has the vuln.

Doesn't work for me (probably because I use CDM).

What's a nice music player I can use in the terminal?

[Smrtz]

What window manager should I go with? I'm debating between awesome, fluxbox, subtle, and quarkewm, but other recommendations are welcome. I'm on arch, and my computer is good enough to use any wm. What are you guys using?

Edit:
Also, I use multiple monitors, actually three, with eyeinfinity, if I can get that working under arch...

[esalaka]

What did LXDE use again? Openbox?

Yeah, Openbox.

And that's exactly why we will never be able to get out of a frozen fullscreen application without escaping to a fullscreen terminal.

So tired of the shit laptops they give us for our computer class, which, when the keys aren't broken off and the wireless router isn't kaput, runs WINDOWS XP, I shall now work off a persistent Ubuntu Live USB.

sorry, I'm not exactly well educated on these things, but how can a CD be persistent? is it rewriteable?
