So I gave the following permission using sudo su to some directories:
sudo a+x -R ~/<SOME FOLDER>/*
sudo a+w -R ~/<SOME FOLDER>/*
After doing this, I can access write and read all directories but my terminal shows these folders highlighted and I really dont like this. Is there any way they can look like before (with no highlights)?
Is it possible to change only directories access permissions recursively with some linux command. I need to set x (access) permissions on directories but not execute on files. [URL]
chmod - change file access permissions
-R, --recursive
change files and directories recursively
I am using chmod(), function to set permissions for my files/directories.How can I set -R flag for it???

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an external fat32 hard drive. It already has some files on it. Now, I mounted it and it shows the owner to be root. fine. but when I change the permissions, it does not seem to change it. I am not able able to access the directories, even as root !.I was able to create directories, but "luckybackup" wan not able to write to it due to permissions. I take it the lucky backup is executing as root/ but even otherwise, if I do chmod ugo+rwx, why do the permissions dont change ? (no erorr message by chmod).

I am having issues getting a 32-bit environment to run something on my computer. Most people think this is a lame game, but I rather enjoy it and would like to continue playing it on this computer. I am running F11 x86_64 on an AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ Black Edition (OC'd at 3.4 in case anyone is wondering). I TRIED running yum to get the shared library referenced in the following message, but it gave conflicts on installation. Is there a way around this, such as installing a separate environment directory for just this game? Or is it just a lost cause?

The new problem is highlighted in the terminal output. I've searched the web for this issue, and it seems to be caused by an older lib included with glibc.i586, though I don't know how to verify or correct this. I tried a lot of things before finding this list.

I want to generate HTML files in batch to show some gvim colorschemes in action. I took my current solution from the script at but this will open open a gvim window for each colorscheme I want to process. So far, the only way I have found to avoid the annoying new windows that pop up every second is to start a VNCserver and set the DISPLAY environment variable to that of the VNCserver so that all gvim windows are sent to the display within the VNC session.However, I would like to know if there is a way I can avoid the whole VNC setup and just run a headless gvim instance that does the conversion and exits, with no windows ever being actually displayed.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?
o, incredibly simple problem that I am having a terrible time finding an answer to. I am trying to setup a program in Fedora to be redirected to a folder in my 64-bit Window$ partition, however I am not sure how to tell Terminal that it has a "(" and ")" in the path name.
The exact path in standard value is as follows: "/media/12842F85842F6A85/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps" What SHOULD this look like in Terminal?
I'm using an external USB Iomega Rev 70GB HDD. (Have been for a few years). It uses UDF format for higher transfer speeds of large files. (This is not an option, & not changeable), therefore natively recognised since 2.6.20, I think. (But no official Linux support).
Occasionally though, I run into problems such as can't format a disk in Linux, need to boot to Wins to do it. Also like today: So I have a bunch of comic pdfs & cbrs on it, mix of .rar files & folders. They were there yesterday. Today I went to read something and I couldn't see them. Thought maybe I'd deleted it by accident, but no. Looked at the drive in terminal and I can see the "missing" files and folders fine, but can't see them in Nautilus to open in Comix.
-Tried setting all permissions on the whole drive to R/W/E through Nautilus.
-Files & Folders aren't hidden.
-Tried rebooting.
-Tried using Administrator Nautilus.
-Thought it might be a re-emergence of the recent Nautilus Preview bug, so swiched File Preview off.

I'm used to setting up SGID on a directory
chmod -R g+s example and then
chmdo -R 750 example
And have the directory and all sub-directories preserve the set-group-ID. On CentOS SGID gets overridden by the second command.The OS is CentOS release 5.6 (Final)In theory, and like it says on this page, "if commands like chmod routinely cleared these bits on directories, the mechanisms would be less convenient..." and it's exactly whats happening. chmod -R 750 is effectivelly removing the SGID.How can I make g+s permanent?
How can I give execute permission to chmod command from run level 3.Because in GUI mode we have the execute option in the properties of file. E.g. I gave following command

can chmod make any file executable?
