  • Permissions, USB drive

    From db@[email protected] to comp.lang.perl.misc on Fri Feb 16 15:02:25 2024

    I work under Kubuntu.
    I have a USB drive that U se as backup and somehow I
    set it up so that it is root who has all permissions.
    So I have to precede every copy command with sudo, etc.
    I take it I have to into root in order to give me, the
    user, these permissions, but how do I do that?
    When I do a right click for Properties and go into
    advanced Permissions, I get a faded screen, and nothing
    works, no doubt because I'm not root.

    Thanks, but I have no problem mounting the stick. After I
    have, I then have to precede every data transfer by "sudo",
    which is pain in the neck. This, as I wrote, is no doubt
    due to root having all permissions, and only root.

    I guess you didn't read the "without-root-access" part.
