Problem with permission in kDE3.5
I have problem seting the permissions in Konqueror in Kde 3.5
I dont know what to do. I use Ubuntu 5.10 with KDE 3.5 installed.
RE: Problem with permission in kDE3.5
please elaborate...what permissions and what u do when u notice the error?
Sailing with the gemidjy...having the algorithm
Be aware also that you have only rights in your /home/<my_user>/ directory, for all the rest you need to be root.
RE: Problem with permission in kDE3.5
Same problem (Kanotix 2005.3)
Konqueror 3.5 (as super user) is unable to set permissions of files...
With single files, it works and gives error message;
with multi, it sets permissions for the last one only...
Help!
With Kanotix, this problem could also occur because some filesystems are mounted read only - check that out.

Source code
|
1
|
cat /etc/fstab

if you find some
ro option in the fourth column, it means that the fs is mounted read-only.
No! Logged as root, konq3.5 is able to modify permissions of ONE file (with an error message). When I try to modify permissions of MANY file, it modifies permissions of the last file only with an error message.
VERY easy to set permissions of an entire directory with subdiretories....
Thanks
what happens if you try the same from a console? For example:

Source code
|
1
|
chmod -R 0755 /home/<my_user>/testfolder/*

I have exactly the same problem, with KDE 3.5 and Kubuntu 5.10. Changing permissions form the command line works perfectly. I'm waiting for the ubuntu forums to come back online to check if this is a recurring problem.
i have exacly the same problem with fc4-devel (after upgrading to kde 3.5)
and i have no idea what caused it too :-(
Using Suse 10 with KDE 3.5 I had the same problem on some ext3 partitions, when I had removed "acl" and "user_xattr" from fstab. Once I put these two options back in, the problem disappeared...
Later I added a FAT32 partition into the mix and have that problem again, but this time, no matter what mount options I tried, I couldn't get rid of it!
Maybe this ACL thing is a hint for someone to find a cure?
thanks Jasi :-)
i've added acl just after defaults to the / mount options in the /etc/fstab file and now it works ! once again.
since i've updated some other packages (attr , acl ... ) along with kde, maybe the issue is not related to kde. maybe it happens in xfce or gnome env too ?
Well, I checked and got the following results...
...using acl alone seems to be enough, user_xattr seems not to be needed (to cure this problem).
And it does not seem to be dependent on what desktop you're running, because
without acl in:
Konqueror fails on both KDE and Gnome desktop
Nautilus works on both KDE and Gnome desktop (an on my FAT32 partition).
Well, adding acl in seems to help for ext3, so be it...too bad, there's nothing equivalent for FAT32...maybe some knowledgeable people could investigate, why Konqueror needs acl to work...
