Rough Fonts --> Perm ! 771 .......
I wanted to increase privacy on my home directory so I chmod -R 750 /home/Me/. After doing so my desktop fonts went from nice smooth font's to fonts with rough edges , panels with thick boarders and theme specific icons disappear to default ones.
My guess was that some program no longer had access to a needed file. So I played with a number of permission combinations and found that chmod -R 771 brought me back to normal. The issue is that I don't want that on my data. (want 750) but when I chmod all but the data to 771 and data at 750 I have the issue. The other strange thing is now the same issue is coming up intermittently without me changing permissions. Ghost in the machine..... .... ignorance..... :scratch: :newbie: |
Maybe try...
Code:
chmod -cR 0750 /home/me |
Thanks for the reply & help. It did the trick but I am not totally sure why.
I chmod -cRf 750 /home/me restarted X and no issue. Could this be because I now "forced" the change where before I just did recursively ? What would have stopped them before ? ( I used sudo ) :scratch: |
