Do you understand permissions? I think you need to study up on such topics as the root user account, file permission ( remember everything in uninx is a file) and user and group level file permissions. A good place to start is the man page for chmod.Hi Guys,
Been using Linux for about a year now, mainly Gnome though.
I have never had problems copying from one folder to another or writing to my ntfs side of things and never had to set parameters in Gnome.
I thought I'd give KDE a look and I find I cannot copy from one area to another across partitions or anything.
Message I am getting is.. I don't have 'permission' or 'access denied' I am the only one using the PC and I don't want to be baulked by a "system" every time I want to move something somewhere else.
Why is KDE so security biased that it prevents the user from doing the basics.
How the heck do I give myself 'permission' to copy stuff.. really frustrating me!
Help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
