Trying to change permissions for usb card reader, but getting "no such file or directory" - how fix?
Trying to change permissions for usb card reader, but getting "no such file or directory" - how fix?
When I do 'sudo chmod 777 filename (which is a 'random' bunch of numbers and letters), I get "no such file or directory". The same with "chown". The ownership is currently 'root'.
saying that a filename is 'random' in no way helps us understand your problem. Please be specific.

When I put the usb card-reader into the computer, the comp automatically gives the ext media a name, such as "lj4l5jlj069ofjrkle5kg05".
in a terminal:
whoami@server:/media/whoami/t9gjkg-tji-gjgj-gogjf-gjgu-i94k4-k5k $ sudo chmod 777 t9gjkg-tji-gjgj-gogjf-gjgu-i94k4-k5k
"no such file or directory"
From your prompt it seems that you already cd'd there, so you didn't specify the correct path. Can you see it with ls?

I am in there, but that is the correct path. I found the answer: instead of putting in a name for the "filename" in "sudo chmod 777 filename" - just leave it blank and add a period: "sudo chmod 777 ."
