Well the way I did it is su to root and open nautilus from command line then I cut and paste worked fine for me.

Also you could copy those skins to
~/.xmms/skins, so you could bypass the permissions issue since that's under your home directory ;) Hope this helps |
1. look at your prompt after su -. you're in root's home directory. can't cd to skins or Skins because there's no skins or Skins directory in your root's home directory.
2. for your cd.. command, that's all wrong. you need a space between "cd" and ".." cd /usr/share/xmms/Skins and ls the directory and see if Skins is in there. if not make it. |
yes there is a directory with skins in it... i got an rpm that installed a few of them...
so after i su it brings me to home directory? lol im stupid... so everytime i su i have to retype where i am in the console? so the chmod +x part is right... right? will that +x ( = access ? ) stay on that file or folder forever? i hate doing that stuff. i sish i could take it off redhat. |

i can't remember if xmms skins are archived or not. if they're archived and you're in the xmms skins directory, then just add the "*" wildcard after that chmod command: chmod +x * if the skin files in Skins are directories, i'd do somthing more like this: chmod -R +x /usr/share/xmms/Skins which will enable exec priveledges on the Skins directory and every file and subdirectory in the Skins directory. |
cool thanks man...
so i should start using chmod -r +x "file or folder path" for icons themes and my skins? will that stay there or do i have to do it everytime i wanna put something in those folders? |
?
