Trio3b Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Newbie trying to load some modem drivers and have noticed several files are locked, so I am stuck halfway thru the install. After unzipping modem driver file into my home folder in mdk 10.0, there are several file icons that are locked. I right clicked to get to permissions, but everything is greyed out. Went to Mandrake Control Center and opened security>permissions>custom settings>add a rule> but cannot unlock the file. If I try to open this modem install text file there is no errror message, just that KWrite opens with no text. I have a similar modem installation text file for a different driver for the same modem that opens with no problem. I also tried CHMOD, but no luck. Any help out there? Thanks [moved from Tips & Tricks by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/cmd.csp?path=c/chmod With this command you can change file permissions. Login as root and type chmod u+x <file name> (in the smae folder as the file) to be able to read the file as a user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
