Emeritus WPI CS Faculty member looking for Linux Help in Worcester

by Michael Voorhis

I have an emeritus WPI Computer Science faculty member looking for Linux help in northwestern Worcester. They're having X11 issues, possibly driver-related, with an Ubuntu machine. I don't do on-the-side work like this, so I'm wondering if anyone here is interested in this sort of work? Thanks, --MCV.

Re: = sign in a ls-l ?

Sorry for the delay, I have just restarted work so I was busy with life related stuff. My NAS box is an X86, so that might explain why I could not get PI-Hole working. I also noticed significant disk thrashing when I left pi-hole running long enough (even though I could not configure it). My personal suspicion is that some kind of permission needs to be set top allow configuration. Pi-Hole is currently uninstalled until I get more than 2G ram for the NAS box. I do plan to run memtest86 immediately after installing the additional ram. I did get docker to run by running "sudo ash" before running the docker commands. Obviously the SSH login did not provide root permission even though I used the admin account.

Re: = sign in a ls-l ?

by Theo Van Dinter

The = is from "ls -F", it means it's a socket file (which we also see from the "s" file type in "ls -l" and the filename is also a good indicator). I have no experience with docker, but the error message and other quoted bits implies you're running things as user "admin" which I'd guess doesn't have user or group root privileges so you can't write to the file.

= sign in a ls-l ?

by Kevin Stratton

I am having trouble with getting pi-hole working with my Asustore NAS. I think I have traced it down to an issue with the docker install. I did verify that the docker CE (community edition) was also installed. Per a tutorial about docker, I should be able to run something like hello world and it will install. I may not have the name correctly entered, but I do not think in this case it matters (yet) admin@AS5202T-7085:/var/run $ docker run hello-world docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/create": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied. See 'docker run --help'. admin@AS5202T-7085:/var/run $ When I did a ls -l of /var/run in a ssh session, I got the following: srw-rw---- 1 root root 0 Jun 24 19:57 docker.sock= The "=" is something I am not familiar with. Could it mean that the symbolic link is to itself? I could not find any references to this online and could not replicate this experimenting with ln in my Ubuntu distribution.

Yeah, I was out busy last night so couldn't make it. Hope the meeting went well. Hudson has been fine, but Worcester also works for me since I'm in the middle. Moving it around to new locations to make it easy for people isn't a bad idea.
