#if we're root, try to run as a user instead if [ "$USER" = "root" ] && getent passwd nobody 1>/dev/null && su nobody -c "/bin/true" 1>/dev/null; then the_make_command="su nobody -c \"$the_make_command\"" chmod +x $dkms_tree/$module/$module_version/build chown -R nobody $dkms_tree/$module/$module_version/build fi invoke_command "$the_make_command >> $dkms_tree/$module/$module_version/build/make.log 2>&1" "$the_make_command" background --- I'm intending on switching this over to a daemon user (probably called dkms), but i'm not sure that's going to solve the problem still. -- dkms build triggers pam_mount (requiring password), thus fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484725 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
