I'm having a nightmare with my home folder.
how do i take ownership/give myself permission?
i had permission this morning and have used transmission, sound converter and firefox. which of these would screw folder permissions?

What kind of problem ? error message ?Originally Posted by bob_hilton
You can run into these problems running graphical applications as root using su.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

no error message but no bookmarks in firefox, transmission stopped downloading and the power button closed all gnome panels but didn't shutdown. there was an error when i logged back in but i didn't manage copy it. i'll post it later (when i get chance). also, using nautilus as root and changing the permissions on the folder wont let me enable read/write on it, it changes back to display '--' (without quotes) after a few seconds.

Is your disk full or mounted as ro ?

Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
This will give all users full access:
Code:sudo chmod a+x+r+w ~/<your_username>
