Ubuntu :: Accidental Permission Change To 'none' On Folder?

Mar 13, 2010

A rather new user here, was messing with the preferences on a user folder of mine on Karmic, looking for a way to make the folder invisible to users (like the old windows option). Set it to 'none', then closed it, returned to the directory finding the folder with a box with an 'x' on it.

Went to open it, it says 'access denied'. So I think 'okay, how do I undo that', go back to see if I can restore it back to 'read & write' with no sucess.

Seached the forums for a solution to this issue, most of solutions revolve around 'gksudo nautilus' which I attempted to open via command-line. Nothing seemed pop open after I entered my password in responce to entering said command-line, probably because I really don't know how to use Nautilus.

Slackware :: Can't Change The Group Permission For The Folder

Jan 13, 2010

I've installed slax6 onto an ext3 partition and setup a users account, i've also just managed to mount some virtualbox shared folders which are working and i can access them fine. The problem is I cannot seem to give limited user accounts access to them. root can access them no problem! but right clicking and changing the permissions do nothing, because once I click apply, reopen the menu, the changes have reverted. I've tried chmod'ing them.. chmod o=rwx /mnt/folder I used 'o' because I can't seem to change the group permission for the folder. The shared folder I am mounting is formatted in NTFS and the other in ext3, I can't change the permissions of either.

Ubuntu Servers :: Slow Sudo After Accidental Change / Make It Up?

May 18, 2011

Share this folder, then followed by 2.allow others to create and delete files in this folder3. guest access.Now if someone in my local network edit any file and save it, it gets locked. if some one copy their file in this folder the permission is marked as "no group" "no owner". and they get unaccessible to me. i tried doing chown <user> <folder> but it says Operation not permitted.

Ubuntu Servers :: Folder Permission 777 - Cannot Authenticate Samba

Sep 28, 2010

I have samba allowing only known users, and on the ubuntu side, I have the folder permission 777. I have the same exact samba smb.conf file(locations of course matching new server), but I can't get it to authenticate with the new server(Old server is up and running too) and I'm lost. I thought I had it figured out when I did my last server, but I seem to be missing something on this one.

Ubuntu :: Lost Permission To Home Folder After Update

Aug 10, 2011

I was happily running Ubuntu Netbook Version 10.04 on my Dell Mini 10v, until I began having trouble booting up. I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu Netbook Version 11.04 to fix the problem. However, now I can not boot up unless it's to a USB drive with Netbook Version 11.04. I'd like to copy my files to an external hard drive so I can copy them to a new Macbook. However, when I boot to the USB and try to view my files in my HOME folder and other folders, they are X-ed out. They say that I don't have permission to view the files since I did not create them. Again, I only want to get the files onto an external hard drive and onto my Macbook. How can I gain access to my files?

Ubuntu :: No Write Permission Even Though User Is Member Of Folder Group?

Oct 29, 2010

I'm having an odd problem (although I'm probably missing something obvious to a non-semi-newbie):I have a directory used for samba shares which is owned by user fred, a system user which the windows clients on my network authenticate with to access the shares. I, roger, want to access the directories without having to put my 'sudo boots' on every time, so I made the directory group users and added roger to that group, and changed the file/folder modes from 0755 to 0775.However I still do not have write permissions inside the directory; I still seem to be considered 'other' and hence only have read and execute.

Fedora Security :: RealCrypt Mount Folder Permission Changes?

Nov 19, 2009

I wanted to create an encrypted volume that was accessible from F12 and WinXP. Using RealCrypt, I created a volume on a NTFS partition and formatted it as NTFS.

mount point: /home/user1/safe
user dir: /home/user1/safe/folder

When I run:

[root@localhost ~]# realcrypt -t --mount --filesystem=ntfs /mnt/winshare/volume /home/user1/safe

The permissions for "/home/user1/safe" change from 755 to 700 and I am unable to access "/home/user1/safe/folder". Also "home/user1/safe/folder" changes owner and group to root with permissions of 700. My guess is that this is being caused by ntfs-3g, but how to pass on uid options in this example. Is this even doable?
