Understanding chmod and chown are foundational knowledge to actually being able to call oneself a “Linux user”. Great video!
Understanding chmod and chown are foundational knowledge to actually being able to call oneself a “Linux user”
I gotcha,
sudo chmod -R 777 /*
, where we’re going we don’t need permission.Careful! This is very dangerous, you should instead do
sudo chown -R user:user /*
Where “user” is your username, and then do
chmod -R 770 /*
This will make sure that only your user has all the access!
(Don’t do this)
the few times Ive seen perms really go awry was from new users running sudo on everything, even wine. definitely took a fair bit of cleanup
Can’t exectly remember how or where but I had some
chmod 777 -R
going on on my setup on the wrong directory and everything seemed fucked up !Was easier to fresh install instead of hunting some permission issue… Learned from that experience and still learning something new with perms on Linux !
A video for something basic which can be explained in a few sentences… Won’t watch that shit, future is doomed…
Okay doomer.
Many people are illiterate. How many of them are trying to run Linux, I don’t know.
