Guest robert44ht5 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi, I am lost on doing this. I downloaded new levels for a game and it says to copy the folder to the games folder. I have the games folder on the other partition and when I try to copy, it gives me an error like "access denied" . How can I gain access to write new files to this folder. I have tried all I can think of such as SU, folder permissions and am lost. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robert44ht5 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Bash did not recognize fdisk. Here is the output for the second command: bash: fdisk: command not found [rob@dhcppc0 ~]$ cat /etc/fstab /dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0022,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=utf8,sy nc 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0022,nls=utf8,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0 [rob@dhcppc0 ~]$ hdb1 is the drive that contains the games folder I am trying to access.

spinynorman Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 It seems as though you just need to change the permissions on the folder. If you're using KDE, paste and run this in a terminal: kdesu 'kfmclient openProfile filemanagement' Enter the root password when prompted. Navigate to the games folder and right click on it. Select Properties then the Permissions tab. You can change the User and Group ownership if you're the only user; or change the permissions for Others to modify content, as necessary. Also check the 'Apply changes to all sub-folders and their contents' option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robert44ht5 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 That was it! Thank you so much. You all were awesome. I will repay the debt someday when I gather enough knowledge to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
