Davenull,
when you are replying to a specific person in a thread (as I am doing here), it is a good idea to include some indication, in the text of your post, as to whom it is that you are responding to.
Thank you.

Not really true, since it looks to me like this "setcap" thingie is just another way of setting the setuid bit (not literally true, of course, but effectively the same thing).ping now works without the setuid bit being set. I am a bit more informed but I need to read up about setcap.
It sounds to me like he is trying to copy the file via the GUI/file manager, so there's really no way to precede any command with anything...drgeoff wrote:Try preceding your command with 'sudo' (without the quotes') . If that works use a search engine to learn what sudo does.
