Solow: In attempting to recreate your problem on my similar system, I was able to create a link in nautilus by entering with sudo permissions in terminal using the below command. The make link button was enabled and allowed me to create one.
sudo nautilus Permissions for var/www drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-11-02 00:27 www I also tested to see if I could change the permissions of /www to full and see if that would repeat your problem. The make link button was disabled for /www after attempting this. The reason this did not work seems to be that the permissions of /var do not allow changes to /www. After changing permissions of /var I was allowed to make a link to /www. I don't think that your problem is a bug with nautilus, but a permission hierarchy problem. Let me know if attempting to make a link with sudo permissions works for you. I don't suggest changing the permissions of /var since it is a root folder but if you need to know how to run the following. sudo chmod 777 /var -- creating a symlink from the terminal worked but nautilus didn't work. 'make link' buttons disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550546 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
