Mount an loop file without root permission? @faif Mount absolutely requires root permissions. The potential consequences otherwise would be pretty disastrous. |

Bind cannot start Sounds like you may have made a typo somewhere in your config file while re-adding the zone. Can you pastebin the entire config file? |

How can I backup a directory to NTFS while preserving Unix file attributes? @strugee ACLs are advanced POSIX Access Control Lists which allow significantly finer control on a per-user basis. As with SELinux, if you don't explicitly activated or used them, you probably don't have to worry them. |

Convince apt-get *not* to use IPv6 method That's a really bad solution, actually, for the reasons you already describe. |

How do I install Adobe Flash on Debian Wheezy? @derobert More precisely, the DFSG is currently pretty much the closest thing to a formally written up description of what we mean when we say "open source" so other descriptions tend to hew toward it. |

can anyone help me with this sed and grep? Or at least try to make it look a little less like a homework assignment. |

How do I install Adobe Flash on Debian Wheezy?pico and pine have very stringent licensing requirements that demand that any repackaging in binary form must be a "proper" compilation of the original source, without any kind of patches or modifications to installation directories. Its author is kind of a prima donna that way; debian is one of the few distros that actually took him at his word and responded by recategorizing it as non-free. You download the source plus debian patches and run an automated compile/install script. |

ubuntu: sudo find / -type d -exec chmod -Rf a-wr {} \; the user can't login Won't help - still needs to restore permissions and finding out which files should have been readable by all and which shouldn't will be a copper-plated bitch. He'd almost be better off backing up user data, reinstalling from scratch, and replacing the data with assumed-safe permissions. |

A service is failing to start on permissions denied--which files is it failing on? If you created the service, why not install a debug version that does some more explicit error catching and tells you which files it tries to open at every step? The -vvv flag was invented for a reason. :) |

Environment variable does not seem to work in sudo Because sudo clears any and all environment variables not explicitly whitelisted. Basic security. |

Howto find duplicate files on disk @ChrisDown Yes, size matching would be one of the shortcuts I had in mind. |

Howto find duplicate files on disk Note that any possible method of doing this will invariably have to compare every single file on your system to every single other file. So this is going to take a long time, even when taking shortcuts. |

is upstart and supervisord used for the same thing? I'd note that the proper solution to a service that doesn't properly daemonizes would be to fix the bug with said service that cause it to not daemonize properly. I'll grant that something like supervisord would be useful for #2, though. |

Can I install some debs from Ubuntu on Debian Squeeze to get nice font rendering? Also, isn't Lenny approaching end-of-life? Squeeze has been out for ages and Debian is currently in freeze mode to work on the next major release... |
