So this is my first time asking a question on here or any forum. I've tried looking into this problem but none of the questions asked or the solutions to those questions really applied to my problem. ill try to be as specific as i can. I'm new to Linux, I've dual booted ubuntu 16.04 on my 64bit laptop. I'm trying to create and configure an openvpn and in trying to unzip "server.conf.gz" i run into this
bash: /etc/openvpn/server.confg: Permission denied
and don't know why. Please if anyone knows what i have to do please help me out, i would really appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read through all that.
Use sudo before the command or root user to execute that command. Your current user doesn't have permission to write in /etc/openvpn directory.
Please use:
gunzip server.conf.gz -c /etc/openvpn
or
sudo gunzip server.conf.gz -c /etc/openvpn
hope it will works.

I am getting this error as:
apt-get: error while loading shared librarie: libz.so.1:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When trying:
sudo apt-get zlib1g
I'm using a Ubuntu 16.04 os and i can't log into the graphic interface, after booting I can only see a blinking underscore on the top left corner of the screen, so i pressed "alt+f4" to open a terminal session.
In my commands historical I found the command:
rm -rf zlib-1.6.37
(That command was executed from the root directory of my user.) And i don't know if that is the cause.
I do need some solution to thia problem as soon as possible please.
If you need some more info just ask for it, I will reply with the answer as soon as I can.
Ok, I've figured it out, it was quite simple, but i just got desperate
The solution was just to recreate the symlink that was damaged (libz.so.1) and that fixed the problem, now I have another issue, it seems like I'm connected to network but i don't have internet at all anyway that's for another question.
Thanks if somebody tried helping me, even if the question just have like 2 hours from posted.
Apologies in advance if this is a rookie question, I am brand new to Node.js and I am trying to learn. I have successfully installed Node on my laptop and added the folder to my PATH variable:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
However, when I try to run a simple program to test, I get the following error:
-bash: /usr/local/bin/node: Permission denied
I got it to work by granting 755 on /usr/local/bin but I am not sure if that is a good idea as it grants everyone read and execute rights on a bin directory!
Does anyone know of a better way to do this? Is my concern even justified?
Thanks in advance for your kind help.
it is probably an owner issue, check this out: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
The last suggestion on using Brew is probably the best option.
Brace yourself, I'm a Windows admin messing with a CentOS 6 server.
Let's start by saying I know very little about Linux.
I'm trying to load an rmmagent, GFI/MaxFocus's agent. It's failing the dependency check on kernel-utils and unzip.
error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-utils is needed by rmmagent-1.0.2.centos6-1.2.x86_64
unzip is needed by rmmagent-1.0.2.centos6-1.2.x86_64
I Googled myself to death, but I think I just don't know enough about Linux to make this go.
Can someone educate me or point me to the right place to learn how to do this? Thanks!

PS: I got unzip installed without issue.
We had the same issue. We spoke to the LogicNow support and they give us this solution:
wget -c ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandriva/official/9.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ksymoops-2.4.8-1mdk.i586.rpm
yum install ksymoops-2.4.8-1mdk.i586.rpm
Running Ubuntu 14.04, and I have a script that is being run automatically when I boot the machine. For the life of me, I can't remember how or where I did this.
I already checked:
upstart (which doesn't seem to be available here, anyway)
/etc/rc.local
crontab (with #reboot)
/etc/init
/etc/init.d
.config/autostart (doesn't exist btw)
It's a script of my own, so it's not some kind of malicious virus or malware or anything. I just can't remember how I did this, and would like to know.
It has a distinct name, e.g. like ~/MyScriptXYZ.sh so I could search for that, IF I know how or where..?? (I'm a novice linux user)
A few other places you can look:
crontab -e as your own user and as root (local user crontab)
/etc/profile.d/ or /etc/profile
~/.profile
~/.bashrc
The last ditch attempt you can do is to cd / && grep -R "MyScriptXYZ" as root - this will take a while but will search all files on your computer for that reference :)
So I stumbled across this question and I managed to solve it for myself:
I was using Ubuntu (chroot) through the Linux Deploy Android app and I also couldn't find it. So to make the answer complete: Use pstree to locate and trace what is currently running and see where it's originating from.
Following Basile Starynkevitch's advice I managed to solve it by going to:
/home/[user]/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and find it the code I added a while ago.
There are a few other questions on Stack Overflow about this and I do understand that, but none of them are giving me an idea of why im getting the "Could not open input file".
I have it setup so I get an email everytime a crons runs (im using cPanal to set the crons) but all I get is:
Could not open input file: /home/methodjs/classified/emailNotifications.php
Because is the first time i'm using crons jobs I have no idea what this means or how fix it.
My command line is:
/usr/local/bin/php $HOME/classified/emailNotifications.php
Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help. By the way, i'm sure thats the right path to PHP because thats what I got from my host.
ensure file is located here:
/home/methodjs/classified/emailNotifications.php
try to execute from commandline:
/usr/local/bin/php /home/methodjs/classified/emailNotifications.php
what appears?
ensure your php file has execution rights
chmod 755 /home/methodjs/classified/emailNotifications.php
The error appears either file is not present at given path or proper permission are not set for file. It can be checked by navigating to path and ll for checking permission.
All,
This problem started occurring on all my 20 Kubuntu machines after an update from Ubuntu! Since Ubuntu is Debian based not sure if Debian or Ubuntu is to blame, so investigating!
Debian users, if this is also impacting you please reply so we can investigate further!
Cheers!
