SourceForge Software is Crap




Planet Tokyo


SourceForge


Downloaded some stupid program LiVES video editor via Ubuntu Software Centre that appears to have changed my read/write etc. permissions on directories.  Well, 'write' permissions, to be specific.

Uninstalled the program as I kept getting 'permission denied' messages when trying to download (not having even used the sh*tty SourceForge program).

Uninstalling LiVES didn't do the trick.  So now I'm getting a crash course in chmod and chown commands.  Sort of.

But I can't concentrate on the instructions because I haven't slept, so I'm just banging away sort of skimming here and there.

It's pissing me off no end that there isn't a simple quick global fix.

If I were in Windows I would just restore the system to when it was working fine.  But I don't know how to do that in Linux.

Calling up my target subdirectory in the black terminal thingy and keying in:

sudo chown [user name] [subdirectory name]
indicates:
chown:  cannot access 'subdirectory name':  No such file or directory

What kind of stupid command is that?

I am looking at the subdirectory.  It's there.  How can I be getting a 'no such file or directory' return?

It's annoying the hell out of me not being unable to alter whatever is messed up.

On top of that, if I 'ls' (which is presumably 'list') I can see a horizontal list of directories in blue and a single directory in green, but I don't know why the green is the exception.

To list is 'ls' but the explanation doesn't say what the 's' is for.  That's annoying.  To remember it, it helps to know what it stands for.

No matter where I try to download, I get the same message:
"The file could not be saved because you do not have the proper permissions.  Choose another save directory."

So I would say that this thing from Hell I downloaded has altered my permissions on a global basis.

What kind of assh*le software does that?

Apparently, it's this mob:  http://lives.sourceforge.net/ (here).

"LiVES is a Free, Open Source video editor *and* a VJ tool. LiVES is a Video Editing System," it says.

It's also messed up piece of crap software that appears to have somehow altered my write permissions.

Tried chmod u=rwx  in the hope that this would do a global change, but I need a target directory or file, I guess.

Thought I'd add a '/' for a quickie solution to my problem but that didn't work.  Not permitted.

This is sooooo crap. 

Tried chmod u+rwx -r at what I thought was the root directory (the slash / ).  Nope.  It doesn't recognise:  ‘u+rwx’, which is supposed to be the command for adding read write and execute to user permissions (I think).

Think I'd better stop.  I'm never going to fix this by trial and error.

Thanks for nothing, assh*les at SourceForge, who are also known to hijack browsers.

Why would Ubuntu even facilitate download of SourceForge Assh*les from Hell sh*tty software?

Bastards.

///\\///\\////\\///\\///\\///\\\



There's a 2012 blog on the LiVES program  here and this user isn't complaining about how crap it is.

I'm still trying to figure how to change my permissions, but because don't know about Linux it is going to take me forever of looking at basic information in the lead-up to hopefully finding the commands I need to use.

Managed to remove the LiVES f*cker's directory from my home directory:  rm [some LiVES name] -R

That was fun.

Found someone whose writing style I really love.  For some reason, I find this really easy to understand.

The 's' in 'ls' (for list files) stands for 'setuid' (I think) ... but I don't really know what that is.  Runs executables, or something like that.  Setuids and setgid look like they might be the same deal.

I've downloaded, updated and run a Clam virus scanner.  No threats found.  That was kind of cool because the black terminal kinda told me to do that.  Not sure how that came up, but it did.

Guessing chown is the command to focus on.  Nope.  It might be chmod.  I'm only vaguely getting the octals reference.  I'm not into numbers at all, and prefer symbols (letters).

Tried:  chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=r ~
in the hope this would change the permissions on a global basis.  Nope.  Nothing.  Still getting same message about not having permissions, the c*nts.

This is bullsh*t.  It could take me forever of trial and error and looking up basics before I ever figure how to change the permissions.  Every time I think I have the command I need, I've selected something wrong.  I'll probably have to reload my operating system.

Too bad I haven't been doing back-ups.  This is sh*t.  I had everything how I wanted it and now I'll probably have HOURS of trying to figure how to get my graphics driver to do what it's supposed to do, because I can't remember what I did last time. 

Tried:  sudo chmod -R u+rwe /home/myname/
Jesus.  invalid mode:  'u+rwe'

chown myname. ~.foo
returns:  'No such file or directory'
C*nt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too dumb to work this out.  LOL

Gonnna download:  Nautilus-Actions Configuration Tool
It has a graphics interface that might let me change permissions ... I hope.

I'm so sick of this now.

If you hold down Alt-F2 for ages you get a million open 'Application Finder' windows.  LOL  ... not so good to know.

The effing thing does not recognise:  gksu nautilus
Downloading:   Graphical front-end to su and sudo
Updating:  sudo apt-get update


Back into the F2 thingy
told it to get:  gksu nautilus 
Password wanted
Got it wrong
Try again ...


Nothing.  Where is it?


Meanwhile, I find:  Change Advance Settings For:  myname

Mess around & change by adding myname to whatever file to see if it would make difference to downloads.  Nope.  Permission denied.


Where is gksu nautilus?

No idea.  But I've manually gone into the Nautilus-Actions Configuration program ... ran some help thingy.  Supposed to have Zenity.  Keyed that into terminal, but it was rejected.  So maybe it's to be keyed into Nautilus prompt.

Looking at the Nautilus thing, I can't quickly make it out.  Don't think this is for me.  I don't have forever.  That was a big waste of time.

Now I'm probably repeating myself by running:
sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu

I'm losing track and I want to cry.  LOL

Tells me:  E: Unable to locate package nautilus-gksu
So I'm guessing I don't have it and the above command doesn't install it. Why?   Looks like it's not in the repository (I think).

Now it's off to AskUbuntu ....

Post reads:  "Apparently nautilus-gksu has not been in the Ubuntu repositories since 12.04" and is followed by string commands

Commands at AskUbunto to load nautilus-gksu
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu


Done.

tried running:  nautilus -q
response:  currently not installed.  Install it by:
sudo apt-get install nautilus

What?  Whatever.  I'm running it, but I thought I had nautilus installed.

I'm so close ... I think.  LOL  It's loading tons of something I'll only probably use this once (if I even manage that).

Oh, for f*ck's sake:  ran nautilus -q
Terminal tells me it couldn't connect to accessibility bus.  Connection refused at dbus something & some kind of Ttk-WARNING.  Jesus.

So that was another big waste of time.  Maybe I should have slowly read everything I could find on chmod or chown?  Now I've got all this crap I'll never use on my sh*tty old computer ... unless I spend forever trying to back-track and uninstall.

Software Centre Updater notification popped up.  Running.

Brief interruption:  arguing about what constitutes identity.  Pointless argument.  It's like trying to get a point across to a Martian with no concept of life on planet Earth.  So, in a sense, we are very much products of histories and environments.  Those without an emotional sense of history cannot understand or feel linked to history, is what I'm thinking.

Now I have double load of anxiety:  finding my way to finally being able to download on this f*cking computer if I ever manage to change permissions, and just being annoyed arguing with someone that is eliciting strong aggressive impulses in me ... LOL.   Which is stupid, really.  No point being angry at not seeing the same way.  Think I'm just angry became if it's not my way, it's a 'stupid way' (in relation to my position ... which always feels like the obvious and absolute truth ;) ), and it's highly frustrating.  LOL

Updates done.  Updater wants me to restart.  Now I have to shut down a million windows and start again ...

This could go on forever.   I could die before I mange to change permissions in Linux.  :)

///\\///\\////\\///\\///\\///\\\


Back again. 

But whatever concentration I kind of had is broken.

First day in ages that I feel like smoking, badly.  And I'm on rations.  WTF? Whhhhhhhhhhhy?

PC keeps crashing.

Got a list of my permissions at home directory level.  Can see one for what I assume is the LiVE program I've since removed.

Made a pretty coloured file of the permissions in AbiWord, so it's easy to see what's what.   But I'm yet to fully understand what's going on.

Lesson

Linux differs from other OS, as it is:

1. multi-tasking system 

(more than one user can operate PC at same time) - deeply ingrained in OS
2.  multi-user system

Following covered by site page:
http://linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php

    chmod - modify file access rights
    su - temporarily - superuser
    chown - change file ownership
    chgrp - change group ownership

ACCESS RIGHTS
assigned for each FILE & DIRECTORY
on Linux OS

 (basis:  USER, GROUP or OTHERS)



FOR PROGRAMS COMMON TO ALL USERS

Value 755 = rwx r-x r-x

owner:  read, write, execute
all others:  read & execute file

FOR PROGRAMS ONLY OWNER MAY USE (PRIVATE FROM OTHERS)

Value 700 = rwx --- ---
owner:  read, write, execute
others:  no rights

Value 666 = rw- rw- rw-
Owner & all others:  read & write file

FILES OTHERS MAY READ
BUT ONLY OWNER MAY READ & WRITE

Value 644 = rw- r-- r--

OTHERS NO RIGHTS

Value 600 = rw- --- ---
Owner:  read, write
others:  no rights

DIRECTORIES
chmod = control access permissions for directories
works same way as files

777 - BAD SETTING - OPEN ACCESS

SHARED DIRECTORIES
755 - rwx r-x r-x
Owner:  full access
others:  cannot create files or delete (for shared directories)

FULL CONTROL - OWNER ONLY
700 rwx --- ---
Owner:  full access
Others:  no access

SUPERUSER
(SUBSTITUTE USER)
DO NOT remain logged as superuser
use for temporary access to superuser privileges:  su (ie 'substitute user')
to become superuser:  su command at prompt
new shell session as superuser available
EXIT superuser session:  type 'exit'

UBUNTU Distro, alternative:
employs 'sudo' command as alternative

CHANGE OWNERSHIP
chown command

syntax:
SUDO  COMMAND NEW-OWNER FILENAME

eg.  sudo chown tokyo filename

*MUST be superuser to change name of file

CHOWN command same for directories and files

CHANGE GROUP OWNERSHIP

command:  chgrp

syntax:  command new-group-name filename

The sudo chown tokyo .live command did f*ck all.

Dot symbol shouldn't be there.  Tried without.  Did nothing.  Can't even remember what it did.  I'm starting to lose the plot now.


I'm so sick of this.

I can't take any more!!!!!!!!    
Need to look at Putin for some relief.



Still no joy.  Whatever I did was rejected in the terminal.

Think I was confusing files with users or something, when composing my commands?  Not sure.

On top of that, the terminal wasn't recognising files (directories) specified, even though they *are* files.

Found a round-about way of downloading videos via the terminal (after watching a video tutorial), having downloaded some package.  It does the job.

But it's driving me mental not knowing what's up with being able to download in the ordinary way to directories I ought to have permission to download to.

PC crashed at one point and now 4 files on my desktop have been chewed.  'Link not found' or similar issue, leaving me with forbidding looking padlock pics on the desktop icons for the files that have been killed.

Luckily, they're files I don't care about.

Sucked down what I think might be my last cigarette to see me through this ordeal, so quickly I feel like I haven't had it and I already want another one.

I'm now mega pissed off and eating chocolate pudding while searching for video tutorials on Linux permissions, as my notes aren't doing my much good.

The Permissions Saga continues ...

Learned a bit more about Linux permissions, but I'm still not any closer to fixing the problems.  Really like 'Eli the Computer Guy' on the video I watched; he makes it all straightforward.  It's embarrassing how easy this was after he explained it.  LOL

Folders in the home directory:
Calibre Library  Desktop  Downloads
but when I run a chmod it tells me it cannot access the folder I designate (ie desktop), which is there.

That doesn't make sense (unless I'm keying in wrong).

Overall issues following download of LiVE video editor:
  • Unable to download video files (in any directory).
  • Permissions presumed adjusted upon download of LiVE.
  • Designated folders not recognised (terminal).
  • Desktop files x4 - links not found.
  • Noticed side-pane links messed up.
  • Errors:  'streamer backend errors Parole Media Player'

Think I might need to sleep on this and maybe try to run purge commands for the LiVE software, or whatever.

*During all this drama, I've installed an alternative software or script (?) to download videos via terminal.  It works.  

But new download makes it hard to work out which event chewed my x4 files on Desktop:

1.  LiVE problems.
2.  New download.
3.  Old PC crashing constantly.
4.  My bad command line entries.


I'm too tired to find out now.  LOL

May never know.  God, I hope I don't have to re-load the OS.  I hate that.

Ian's death and antifa at CCC: why hackers must become nationalists. - Andrew Auernheimer
Oðinnsson. Market abuser. Internationally notorious computer criminal.

[Oðinnsson - Odin's son]

03:02 pm January 1st, 2016

People outside the technology industry don't quite understand the scope of Ian Murdock's contributions to the world. The internet is a big place. It has about a hundred million servers on it. Of those hundred million, about twelve percent are running Debian, Ian's distribution. After Slackware 8 came out in 2001, I switched to Debian and have been running it on my infrastructure since. Beyond servers, the most popular GNU/Linux system distributing for the desktop is called Ubuntu, and it uses Debian's core contributions.

By scope of deployment, Ian Murdock was one of the biggest contributors to the Internet in the world. Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds have shipped more widely deployed software, but Ian Murdock certainly exhibited a scale of contribution that approaches their level.

Over the past week Ian had his home invaded without cause. He was kidnapped at gunpoint and falsely charged with assaulting the officer who assaulted him. He subsequently committed suicide. Many people are commenting that he wasn't in a lucid state when he did so. I'm not so sure. His chances of seeing a California prison were very high. California state prisons are the worst in the nation. His chances of losing a significant bit of his assets to the state were also high. Ian had a lot of assets. Rather than endure torture in prison and a loss of his assets to those that were wronging him he killed himself. He was also hoping to catalyze retaliation in revenge against his tormentors, and his death will mean nothing if we don't make it so.

Before we go any further, let's examine the data.
[ GRAPHIC ]
This is a chart of various economic sectors and the total market cap of the associated companies. As you can see, of all the major sectors only financials exceed computing in value. I'm going to say pretty confident that none of them exceed computing in actual social contribution. This year, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act passed. It was regarded as a terrible thing and opposed by the entire computing industry. It passed anyways. Computing is twice the market value of the energy industry. When is the last time a bill universally opposed by the energy industry has passed? Never. Such a thing is unthinkable. It does not happen. Utilities, the smallest sector on this list, a fifth of computing's value, has a gigantic multiple of its political power. Computing is regularly made the bitch of the media industry through legislation, which is too small to even appear in this chart.

The food/staples retailing industry is very small in comparison to computing, but I quite assure you that in my home of Northwest Arkansas, the cops have a record of every family with a Walmart executive in it and they know damn well better not to fuck with them. Even a low level Walmart executive isn't going to get beaten, humiliated, and falsely charged in the Ozarks. It simply won't happen because the cops know who runs that place. In contrast, one of the most important contributors to computing on the earth just had that happen to him in San Francisco of all places. The telecom services industry is relatively tiny by comparison to computing, but it still petitioned the government to violate my rights and the protests of the entire computing industry did not prevent it.

Ian is dead for the same reason Lance and Jonathan and Aaron are: computing, as an industry, has no will to power. Computing is filled with nerds who want to focus on their own shit and think politics is stupid. They are right, politics is stupid, and I had the same worldview up until the point a gun was pointed in my face, my home was reduced to rubble, and I was being beaten and starved in solitary confinement. Computing's lack of will to power is especially tragic not only because it has the highest potential for power, but because the big players of the game realize that it does. Regardless of the apolitical nature of the industry it is being dragged into Marxist struggles anyways.

Over at Status451, @maradydd has a brilliant analysis of the feminist part of the cultural Marxist ecosystem that has now turned its eye towards the technology industry, but her reduction of cultural Marxism to a simple protection racket is flawed, because feminists are not the only force agitating against the tech industry, and well funded companies are not the only target.

The other thing that happened over the past week is that antifa was out in force at Chaos Communications Congress. If you are unfamiliar with this, it is the most prestigious gathering of hackers in the world. It is not something done for profit, but for the exchange of ideas amongst hacker luminaries. Unlike feminism, antifa has no profit model in this space, and even if it did, the CCC is not a well capitalized company. It is a loose association of hackers.

Antifa at CCC took the chance to protest emerson's talk as racist. I might be a white nationalist and have been so in public since 2008, but if I were to give a talk at CCC I don't see how I could even make it racist. These are technical talks about real world software deployments. The talk itself was about emerson's travels to Sierra Leone at great personal risk to help use open source software to assist with the eradication of the Ebola virus. Why would they choose this talk?

Let me tell you something. I, as a public white nationalist, have never had problems with these people. Nowadays they are afraid to even say my name. I am Voldemort-tier:

    @MariachiMacabre @davidsgallant (he went on to make real buddy buddy friends with W 3 3 V)
    — MisAndri ಠ_ಠ (@AndriErlingsson) December 30, 2015
    @molon_labia @jack_o_bee4u @dlw624 @PowersThatBeat @Sid_Fishous are we talking about haxor w. E. E. V? Don't want him to find his name
    — GlitterBombTheWorld (@SparkleChaos) December 23, 2015
I'll tell you why they chose that talk: someone who goes to Africa to try to help 3rd world people not die is more likely than a white nationalist to cower their head in accusations of racism. They are looking for easy victims to create a narrative with. Their bonuses depend on it.

As it turns out, there is an economic interest in keeping the hacker community docile, afraid, and Balkanized. The last term is best because it is the same guy that catalyzed the genocides in the Balkans who funds most antifa groups: George Soros. Just as he funded the destruction of Yugoslavia because the unification of Slavs presented a threat to his geopolitical interests, he, along with the Rothschilds and the Weinsteins, now funds attempts to culturally subjugate the hacker community. You know that chart we look at above? They are desperately attempting to keep the political elements of computing subdued by Marxism because a rebalance of power according to value would be against their interests and for yours. Most of these antifa types are paid shills, but a few of you are honestly fooled. You are being cuckolded, advocating directly against the interests of your own community and for the interests of predatory billionaires.
When you push leftwards, you are screaming for more corpses of men like Ian, Lance, and Aaron.

There's a table that all those other people eat at, and they don't want to clear a seat for your tribe at it. I learned something in prison: if someone takes your seat at a table, you pick something up and bash them with it repeatedly. Ian's death was a result of an act of disrespect and violence, an extension of continual disrespect that has emanated from the power establishment for decades now. It's going to continue until we respond in kind.

Embrace the will to power. We can seize it. It won't take very many of us.

COMMENT

Wow, that was interesting reading.

Will need to do some look ups, as I'm not familiar with those mentioned in the article (although I know 'Aaron' would be Aaron Schwartz).

Might leave the look-ups for later, as I'm struggling (headache).
The prison canteen tray imagery was funny.  Not sure if he meant it to be, as he really did do prison.
