SlackBuild Skype - no permissions
I am trying to install skype from the slackbuild.
I downloaded the source and the skype.tar.gz Ran tar on the tar.gz Then ran chmod on skyke.SlackGuild Copied the source into the skype directory But when I try ./skyleSlackBuild I get a message saying I don't have permission. The skype.tar.gz file has root as the owner (I am logged in as root) But when I unzip the file the skype directory it creates and all the subsequent files have the owner as 1000. I am sure I didn't have this problem installing other builds. This is a new 12.2 installation. |
I just made a package and it works.
I did this: - download http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/1...k/skype.tar.gz in /home/didier/tmp - download http://download.skype.com/linux/skyp...0.0.72.tar.bz2 in /home/didier/tmp - cd /home/didier/tmp - tar xzf skype.tar.gz - mv skype_static-2.0.0.72.tar.bz2 skype - cd skype - su #to become root - ./skype.SlackBuild and the package is ready in /tmp. You don't have to chmod anything. So I do not understand your problem :scratch: EDIT. And all files in /home/didier/tmp/skype are owned by didier:users. EDIT2. It is useless and dangerous to do anything as root but running skype.SlackBuild |
Quote:
If that is the case you can run the SlackBuild like this "sh skype.SlackBuild" without the quotes, Or "chmod +x skype.SlackBuild" and run it as ./skype.SlackBuild |
XGizzmo, FYI I did check, skype.SlackBuild is executable, as that should be the case for all SlackBuilds @ slackbuilds.org.
Silverbird, I don't see any reason for the numerical owner value, unless tar have been run with unusual options, like --numeric-owner. |
I was emailed a download of a skype package - complete - so I did not pursue this problem..
But at least I have skype working and can now use linux full time for all my requirements... |
