Hey there,
I am using Xubuntu xfce. I am the only user of the pc and the also the one who setup Xubuntu.
I am trying to Startup Disk Creator. After installing it without issue, when I try to open it I get the following message:
An unhandled exception occured:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: /home/myname/Desktop/
This kind of error is recurring. As an example I tried to go to the desktop properties to change permissions but this is not allowed neither. I still get the following message:
Error opening directory '/home/myname/Desktop/.
Permission denied
I tried the chown command to change the owner of a file.
Code:
sudo chown myname /home/myname/Deskto
p
As I still have no rights on the directory, I tried:
Code:
$ chown [-R] myname /home/myname/Desktop
But I get:
Code:
zsh: no matches found: [-R]
Me being the only user, I don't understand why I can't own my own data. And I don't understand why the chown command doesn't work.So I tried to have a look who is officially the UID and GID of files and directories with
And I don't see anything wrong here, there is only my name popping up in the results.
Does anyone have an idea what the access of some specific files/folders are not allowed?
