came across this question while reviewing and thought well i can answer this, and since it is flagged as unclear, well i did not think it was unclear as you can see
so the setences are ok, i thought them to be a bit awkward phrased
alice and bob both belong to the staff group.
I've got the following folder:
drwxrwxr-x 2 alice staff 4096 Oct 30 14:45 share
with the following files inside the folder:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 alice alice 8768 Oct 30 14:45 display-foo

I have setup nagios but when I brows my IP address it download a BIN file. I need help on why bin file download when i browse my IP address

@EliahKagan bought a USB drive, but, 1. It still has some random files on it, safe to remove? 2. Formatted as FAT32, do I have to reformat? 3. Valid to put multiple ISOs on it so if I plug in I can boot from many operating systems (or install them on the fly)? 4. If so does this also mean I can add other files to the drive too I want to keep on me? 5. Is encrypting the USB on top of all this a thing?
I am not really sure how most people use their USB drives for this
For (1), probably, but it depends what the files are. If the drive has special capabilities beyond what USB drives can usually do, perhaps they are drivers (probably Windows-only drivers though I can't be sure). Or perhaps they are files for a program that provides encryption; if so, that is probably also Windows-only, which is not to say that you cannot encrypt the disk in a way that will work with Ubuntu, only that most likely whatever it comes with for that will not support Ubuntu. Probably.
Three hidden holders: .fseventsd (has a single file called fseventd-uuid), .Spotlight-V100 (has two subfolders Store-V1 and Store-v2 and some volume config list thing), .Trashes (empty)
sounds like crap: fseeventsd should be a directory where file system events are stored. Whatever that means. .Trashes is used by Windows and macOS (I think) to store deleted items locally. Spotlight is some macOS thing.
.fseventsd is part of the File System Events notification mechanism - when a file changes, the operating system sends a message to any programs which care, such as the Spotlight indexing system.
.Spotlight-V100 is where Spotlight keeps its index data: when you search in Spotlight, it looks in this index rather than searching all the files directly.
.Trashes store deleted data (one directory per user inside that, IIRC).
Normally all these files/directories are hidden; if deleted, OS X will re-create them automatically. (In Spotlight's case, this can take a while: it will have to read all …
As for the rest: 2) vfat is fine; 3) I don't see why not, there's no special requirements, just a normal usb drive; 4) you can, yes, but it might make it a little more complicated; 5) yes, you can encrypt, but don't encrypt the drive! not if you want to use it to boot operating systems from (there's no point, anyway). Instead, encrypt a directory on the drive.
Of course, it would make much more sense to just get a simple usb stick for your local equivalent of 5$ or so and just use that for booting and another disk for your files.
pardon my ignorance, this UEFI concept, is it something my USB would have to have? Or compatible with? I thought UEFI was mostly a computer/BIOS thing instead?
if my computer is not UEFI-compatible would this pendrivelinux not work?
@ArukaJ the opposite is what you have to expect ... on legacy BIOS based machines there will be less chance to experience issues with that tool than on EFI based machines :)
But you should be able to install in "legacy" (BIOS) mode. Dunno though, I've never tried it. If in doubt, just don't use the UEFI version of the tool.

I have another Windows laptop running at the moment too but something went wrong on it at some point and it can't find the OS anymore, so may as well wipe that one and repurpose it as a Linux machine :)
the Windows machine I have is effectively toast (for some reason, something got corrupted in the file system somewhere) but I want to wipe it anyway and use the USB to install Ubuntu on that machine
They're both writing data to the USB drive. Similarly, if you made a .zip file of the ISO and put that on the drive, you would be writing data to the USB drive.
@ArukaJ It's the difference between a photograph of a book and the text actually inside the book. If you drag, you're just copying the photograph, and need to 'mount' it to get the data.
Wow. I've been writing too much Spanish lately. Fotograph indeed!
When you copy the disk image to the drive, the drive contains that disk image file. What you need the drive to contain is the files in the disk image file. You also need it to contain special information at the beginning that tells the computer how to boot from it. By far the easiest way to achieve this is to write it to the drive with something like Etcher or dd.
It is much harder to do it by copying files in the Finder (assuming that is even possible), and copying the ISO to the drive would not even be a step that would be taken if one were to attempt that.
@ArukaJ Another possibility is to mount the ISO file and copy the content to the USB drive manually ... then set the boot flag ... etcher does all that for you. :)
also @EliahKagan I think that it is better that @ArukaJ first installs ubuntu now ... then he can do other things ... he seems to have very basic knowledge ... we might confuse him with too much information
@cl-netbox Well the goal of avoiding confusion is one reason I suggested to post a question about that other problem rather than trying to figure it out here. However, if the actual goal is to have a USB flash drive that can be used as a live environment for multiple OSes, I don't think there's necessarily a reason to cover installing Ubuntu first. OTOH with a working Ubuntu system it should be easier to do that... so you may be right.
@ArukaJ Well, if you have a specific problem you are trying to solve, it shouldn't be too broad. Like, if you are trying to write two specific ISO images to a USB flash drive and you say what OSes those are, what the ISO images are called and where you got them, what kind of computers you want to boot them from, and whether or not you need to be able to store data on the USB flash drive separately from them, then that should be sufficiently narrow I think.
Oh. I should've suggested unetbootin.github.io as an alternative to Etcher. I don't know if it is currently capable of creating installation media that is bootable on a Mac (all remotely recent Macs use EFI, but it is not UEFI), but you can definitely use it on macOS to write a USB flash drive that you can then boot on a PC. It sounds like you got the drive successfully written, though.
@cl-netbox I have used Unetbootin many times to write Ubuntu ISO images to USB flash drives that then boot... but it has been some time ago, and I am not sure I have booted them on systems that use UEFI. Is that the problem. Can you link to something that explains the problem, or at least says what it is?
if my system is not UEFI (I didn't see any options for it in the BIOS) does this mean I cannot use GPT style partitions and such, instead stuck with MBR / older style?
@EliahKagan sorry, don't have a link handy ... all I can say is that the USB doesn't boot on modern EFI based machines ... way back a long time ago unetbootin worked on BIOS machines
What I really can recommend is to use GNOME disks to create properly booting USB drives @EliahKagan ... of course you have to run a linux system ... :)
I have a problem. When I enter a Ubuntu machine, I see this messages:
Could not chdir to home directory /home/root: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/root/.Xauthority
When I make whoami, I receive the answer: root
but no directory /home/root exi...
I see no point. Only files i have that need to be private is my wireless password and my network is open on the 5Gz range for public usage so nobody needs to use my own network :-P And all other files are backup by someone hosting torrent servers :D
(it is a deal here in the Netherlands: I get a big discount opening my router and I get to use all other routers in the Netherlands. Basically when I am in a town I have free internet)
in a tangible good, my buying a unit means someone else can't buy a unit. if i buy a game on steam, that does not mean that someone else will ever be disallowed from buying that game
Please I need commands for my data in linux.
