Unable to copy some files when in LiveCD - sudo nautilus
Hi there,
I had to boot my PC from a Live CD (Ubuntu 9.10) and backup files from my home-dir.
I used sudo nautilus to access these files on the mounted home partition.
Problem: some (important) files do not copy to the external hard disc (FAT32).
Example:
"The file "bookmarks-2010-07-30.json" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it."
Hi pepemoko,
just a thought,make sure that you launch as root all nautilus instances.
To make it easier
> sudo su -
> nautilus
and use this window to make all your copies.
the command you provided results in this output, whereupon Nautilus opens, but the permission is still not given to read/copy some files:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ gksu nautilus
