That was scary! lol. That did WAY more than I thought it would. I guess that reinstalled every app that depended on python-six (or one of its dependencies)? That took several minutes as it installed hundreds of items. BUT IT WORKED! Thank you thank you thank you. If you have a stackexchange account ...

I scoff at backups! Who needs em?

I'm going in. Report back soon.

I've detailed what I've done over on Stack Overflow . I'll paste that here. I've googled everything I can think of and I keep hitting deadends. A couple days ago I followed these (seemingly simple) instructions for installing Beets onto my Ubuntu 16.04 server: sudo apt-get install python-dev python-...

I tried installing a music app (beets) on my Linux box and that didn't go so well so I uninstalled it. Since then, my SAB doesn't work. When I run: sudo service sabnzbdplus status I get this: ● sabnzbdplus.service - LSB: SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus; bad; vendo...

I just had to simply put quotes around the $1 and all is solved.

That was all very frustrating, but in the end - as you correctly pointed out - quite simple. I clearly have holes in my skillset.

Thank you very much safihre, for sticking with me on this.

Thanks for the tip. OK... it exited with a 1 and says "No such file or directory". How can it internally provide the value for $1 and then not find it? edit: Oh, I think I get it. I think the problem is due to spaces in the path. I need to figure out how to encapsulate $1 so that the resul...

OK, so this is exactly what I did. I put the following into a file called /opt/scripts/permissions.sh #!/bin/sh find $1 -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \; I set the permission of that script to 770 In Folders page, I browse to the/opt/ scripts folder, and in Categories I chose the script for each categor...

That's it? I *literally* replace all the text in the sample script with that single line, save that file to the defined scripts folder and it'll work? From a permissions perspective: That's poor form, although I'm sure you were just giving an example. Other than temporary testing, one should never u...

"shouldn't"? It is. So is the sample script. It isn't even a sample of anything. From what I can tell, all it does is echo back what I put in to call it? There is absolutely nothing there that is helpful in any way in determining how one would go about doing ANYTHING, let alone specificall...

I know nothing of python or scripting and the wiki is all gibberish to me. In Ubuntu, I have to manually run a few chmod commands after every download. Can someone give me a script that would do that automatically once a file is downloaded? Or is there a simple example somewhere that shows directly ...

Hey, look at me digging up this 7 year old thread... well, it pretty much exactly mirrored a problem I'm having today, so I thought this was the best way to get this perhaps looked at. As edanfalls points out, using 2770 incorrectly applies the setgid ("S") bit to files. FYI, the capital S...

Oh, so I was over thinking it?

Thanks. Got it working. Appreciate it.

16.04 has been out for quite awhile now, so when my server had a harddrive failure last week I decided to install 16.04. Everything's going fine until I get up to sabnzbd... I can install it fine, but I find ZERO posts/wiki/anything about using systemd/systemctl with sabnzbd. So... EXACTLY (please) ...

Due to Lastpass / ChromeOS not functioning with basic authentication (old school pop-up login), I'm asking if SAB could possibly switch to using a more current model of HTML authentication? Minor... but important to me. I don't want to turn of authentication nor do I want to use an insecure password...

Alright, thanks!
