writing to folder
HELLO
I have a number of volumes listed to the top left of my file manager.(214 GB fielsystem,data, Cent OS,)I can't write to any of these volumes.I get an error saying "you cannot change the contents of that folder." I'm dual booting my pc with CENTOS. Thank You |
I guess you are not the owner of the folder..
I see you are using Ubuntu, its UIDs start at 1000 where as CentOS start at 500 so your first ( and I guess Only user ) on each install are 'miss matched' easiest way to get round this is make them match.. Warning: The below assumes the above to be true and that you want to work with files you 'own' on each distro If that is not the case, more info required in CentOS Do not login.. instead go to a console ( ctrl+alt+F1 ) and login as root figure out UID/GID's a quick way to confirm the UID/GID is Code:
ls -l -n /home /path/to/volume/home Code:
usermod -u 1000 <username> of course you could do it the other way round, in Ubuntu change to 500 This is going to be a tiny bit 'harder', as you won't have a real root account.. login as yourself, Code:
sudo -i Edit Oh, logout of root ( exit or ctrl+d ) and get back to graphical Login with (ctrl+)alt+f7 ( sometimes f8 or f9 ) |
