Try this.
I wrote a little script to find your Classic Startup and make required mods. It's called FixClassic.zsh and you can grab it here. Then, in the Terminal cd to your download directory and type
./FixClassic.zshThe script will ask you for a sudo (administrator) password. After that you should be good to go! If you have any problems with this, drop me an e-mail and I can write you a script that's slower, but more accurate. (It would use find rather that locate.) Hope this helps.
Try this.
Mmm.. I'm getitng "./FixClassic.zsh: Permission Denied" on a graphite iBook I'm working on. Any ideas?
Hmmm...
A lot of people seem to be having trouble with ./ lately. (Bug in a recent system update?? Hmm, still works for me, but it have . in my path.) Here's the best work-around I have: cd to the directory where FixClassic.zsh is, then
sudo chmod a+x FixClassic.zshPost back if this still doesn't work so we can come up with a fix that works for everyone.
one problem after another...
after entering sudo chmod a+x FixClassic.zsh

Wow. It sounds like your permissions are screwed up all over the place. Did you try to change things so you had read-write privs for everything? Don't fight the system, man. The default permissions are set that way for a reason. If you can't modify a file, you really need to think twice about whether or not you should. Also, recursive chmod's are generally a Bad Idea. If you need to modify an unwritable file, it is usually best to use sudo to modify it and just leave the perms alone. (the superuser, su, can do whatever they like)
This "fix" for this problem is, assuming you have enabled the root account: you% suThis will repair the sudoers file so you can use the sudo command and follow the steps in the above post. However, it sounds to me like your system is fscked. (No, I'm not talking about the fsck command.) I would strongly recommend that you re-install. If you can't do a clean install, at least re-install the latest system CD you have over the top of your current install and go through the updates to 10.1.4 again. This should fix all/most of your permission problems, including Classic. Good luck.
It's finally fixed!
\0\05{\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0he post...I had exactly the same problems/error messages after I followed the instructions here (http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/Root_User_Creation/index.ws) for setting myself up as superuser. I'm not badmouthing those instructions, however! I'm grateful for all the info, instructions, fixes that everyone contributes. Guess I should learn more about unix commands...
Try this.
Tried your fix and anons' neither worked. But there is a nother factor. I'm an Idiot and have no Unix experience. What do you mean by "in the Terminal cd to your download directory"? Also do I have to be in root? My original problem was tring to drop a file on my HD from a .dmg. I had read only priviliges. So I read Poge's manual and opened root changed all files to read and write. When I closed root I couldn't run Classic. Also My Epson C80 no longer works in X 10.1.4
Try this.
This is what worked for me. After opening the root account.
Stupid me
I didn't realize this was you, wheeeze.
Stupid me
I'm weeze. just joined last week to fix the privilages problem
Try this.
Sorry, cd is a shell (Terminal) command to set the currentdirectory. Here's how you use it.
Assuming you downloaded the file to your Desktop (the default location for downloads) in the Terminal you would type: you% cd /Users/you/Desktop(you% is the shell prompt. Don't type that.) This will set the current directory (the directory with the "focus") to be your Desktop. All the commands executed after the cd command look for their targets in your Desktop until a new cd is issued. Also, since your Desktop is located in your home directory, you can use a UNIX shortcut to refer to it. The ~ character located just above the [TAB] key is UNIX for "/Users/you". That means, you% cd ~/Desktophas the same meaning as the above command. If this doesn't help and neither does the tutorial, email me and we'll see what we can come up with. (I'll need to know the errors you are getting. Just copy and paste your Terminal session in to the email so I can read it.) |
