This is a directory in my home directory that I am trying to delete. Every time I try, I get "Operation not Permitted." Even when I elevate myself to root, I cannot do it.
Code:
root@bill-UBU:/home/bill# ls -ald Novels
drwxrwxrwx 2 bill bill 4096 Sep 2 21:10 Novels
root@bill-UBU:/home/bill# rmdir Novels
rmdir: failed to remove 'Novels': Operation not permitted
root@bill-UBU:/home/bill#
If I move up a directory, I see that somehow I am NOT the owner of my own home directory. Something named "124" is the group and not "bill". Can this be changed?
Code:
root@bill-UBU:/home# ls -ald bill
drwxrwxrwx+ 110 bill 124 12288 Jul 3 21:25 bill
root@bill-UBU:/home#
Found the 'change group' command. It still does not work.
Code:
root@bill-UBU:/home# chgrp bill bill
chgrp: changing group of 'bill': Operation not permitted
root@bill-UBU:/home#
Really confused, as I thought root could do anything. Any help here?
Bill
