Hi Kaushik, On reading your mail, firstly I would like to ask you as to how you have a root account ??? Because by default Ubuntu utilises the same principle as Mac OS X, i.e you use the 'sudo' command for administrative purposes(it is a safer way for people not used to using unix based os'es). Did you possibly create a root account ?
Anyway, to rectify - The permissions on /dev/null need to be set to 0666, and running a "sudo chmod 666 /dev/null" should rectify this problem. However, if upon rebooting, the perms on /dev/null return to 0600, then - The permissions on /dev/null should be set by udev. So check the files in /etc/udev/rules.d, such as /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules, it should have a line that says Code:KERNEL=="null", MODE="0666" Best regards, alfred 't1nt1n' tims On 7/13/08, tabankg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Respected Friends, > I have successfully installed Ubuntu-8.04(Hardy Heron)on my > machine,but after using it successfully for some days I am facing a problem. > I am unable to log in as normal user account which is "kgnile",but I can > log in to Ubuntu-8.04 with "root" account in GUI. > When I want to log in as "kgnile" in text mode* ttyS1-to ttyS6*(console > mode),it logs in,but after showing a repetitive command > "-bash:/dev/null:Permission denied". > Friends please help me out. > Best wishes to all of you. > Thank you. > With regards > -kguha > (KAUSHIK GUHA) > e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- > GOD BLESS US ALL!!! > -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
