So what exactly the problem is? if you want to change owner and group of the dir. to root:root, then you can do it in same way as you did with tylor:tylor, as-
Code:
chown root:root <dir> Quote:
Also post output of ls -la, instead of just ls. Quote:

When I wrote this last night i don't think I knew what I really needed but i've had some time to think about it so I hope i can get a better scenario. I'm not a gamer, My grandson askes me from time to time to help him set up stuff on his Minecraft game...so I'm asking for help! :)
Apparently for this game to load properly, I'm assuming because it updates everytime it loads, it needs to be run as the root or home...(make sense?...I hope so cause it doesn't to me!) I have a script file that loads the proper java settings and starts his Minecraft game so I just need to add the commands that make the .minecraft folder the root or home folder and that is supposed to solve the loading issue...(the game freezes now when it tries to load a program called FML or Forge Mod Loader, that it needs to update everytime it loads.) In the threads I've been reading the commands needed to load this game properly ar chown and chmod but I do not know how to comunicate the path I need. I know the Minecraft folder is in tyler-home-.mincraft but there is also all this stuff that makes no sense to me...tyler@tyler-Inspiron-531s:. I don't understand basic directory structure in Linux...I know, you guys are saying how stupid I am, but I'm not..I'm reasonably intelligent. The only drawback I have noticed in Linux is the basic directory structure. It is just plain confusing to me. Other than that, It is wonderful! Can anyone help please? |

I tried this in my script file, still not working....
Code:
#!/bin/sh |

The some harder (if you as administrator want to block changing executable files of this game and resources) you can use an union mounting. That way basic files to start a game, mods and for example default settings will be maintained by you on read only directory and files changed by game wil be stored somewhere else in user home diectory. In this script you have written "home/tyler/.minecraft" it should be absolute path "/home/tyler/.minecraft". |

Alternatively you could (have your grandson) follow the FML installation instructions or the Forge installation instructions and build a new Minecraft installation in another location (say "~/.minecraft_new") and if that doesn't work out you could (have your grandson) ask in the Minecraft forum.

There are lots of ways to say it's not gonna work by saying my skills aren't good enough, but I bet someone can figure this out. Obviously the guy who wrote the other thread who can barely speak english was on to something. I don't know how to post a debug screen and I wouldn't think that would be a skill appropriate for a Linux Newbie. Constructive crticism please ...not just bashing.

Can anyone figur out what this guy is saying?

Well, I am also not familiar with this game, but after reading all the threads above, it sounds some inappropriate permissions/ownership set on the directories, which are causing the pb.
Also you've made some mistakes in your script with paths & directory names. So once invoke following series of cmds: Code:
cd /home/tyler |
