all permissions missing

floorripper · 09-17-2016, 05:57 AM

Dear Linuxeros,

I am not able to assign any permisions to files therefore I am not able to read those files. Chown and chmod does not work. Any ideas how to open those files/videos please?

Code:

drwx------  2 majo users         0 Sep 17 12:42 ./
drwxrwxrwx 27 majo majo          0 Sep 17 12:37 ../
-rwx------  1 majo users  26650068 Aug 21 12:07 Marcus REVOLTA - Křest alba Snílek 2016-HKt_O1G1Q3k.mp4*
----------  1 majo majo  421213320 Jun  4 20:43 P6041262.MOV
----------  1 majo majo  354487200 Jun  4 20:45 P6041263.MOV
----------  1 majo majo  107901677 Jun  4 20:53 P6041264.MOV
----------  1 majo majo  129331773 Jun  5 00:22 P6051265.MOV

Use sudo for chown/chmod.

Hello hydrurga,

thanks, I was operating under the root:

chown -R 775 Revolta-Krnov-krst\ -snilek/
chmod a+r Revolta-Krnov-krst\ -snilek/ -R
chmod a+r *.MOV

It did not help.

I have copied new file into the directory and the new file has the same issues.

man chattr

Ah, Habitual noticed what I did not, although it is in plain view. I refer you therefore to his answer.

I tried a workaround. I have copied out the files from the "impacted directory" to the new directory via command line and I am able to read the files now. Permissions are now assigned.
I have to delete the old directory now only.
