Also check /home/samlabs821 because the permissions are inherited from the parent.
Code:
ls -ld /home/samlabs821/Desktop/
ls: cannot access /home/samlabs821/Desktop/: No such file or directory
ls -ld /home/samlabs821/
drwxr-xr-x 45 samlabs821 samlabs821 4096 2010-05-15 02:48 /home/samlabs821/
what does it mean?
