Can't write to home dir.
 

I can't write to my home dir (write, or exucute) files. I'm nto sure why not anyone have any insight on this? Root can read, write, excute. But I don't want to run as root, seeing it's unsecure. So, any ideas of what's wrong, or how to fix this?

What are the permissions on your home directory?
ls -la ~

drwxr-xr-x 45 root root 4096 2005-05-22 01:23 darklord/

That's what I get when I "ls -la" /home/

Just change the owner to your user:
chown -R darklord /home/darklord

You need to change the permissions to your home directory. You need to su to root, or log in as root. Once you are root, then you need to do: chmod user.group darklord (where user is the user name and group is the group name for the user).

Ah. Thank you!
