I have my old Ubuntu permission mounted, to copy things off of it before removing it. I can't. Permission denied. The owner of say Documents and all therein is user id 1000.
I come from the Fedora partition, and have user id 500.
How do I change the owner of home on the ubuntu partition to myself?
Can you mount and access the files as root?
I'd give fstab on the partition with the group users included on it. Mount the partition as read only and copy a file to the user's home directory. The other is to create a user with an id the same as the Ubuntu user.
I can mount the partition. But cant even read the file I want, cowjokes.odt It loads an empty document instead. This started when I thought, Oh, Ubuntu has an upgrade, Iĺl go for it! Jesus, I wish I hadnt!
