My desktop machine croaked overnight. Fortunately I had already copied most of my laptop which is now running Ubuntu 10.04. This afternoon I'm using the Ubuntu install CD in try-out mode to look for and copy things more stuff. It's been working fine for most files but I've run into some that won't copy due to permissions problems. In the Gnome file browser the icons for individual files in some of my directories have an X in the upper right hand corner. If I right click on them and look at the Permissions tab of the file's Properties I get the message: "You are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions."
How do I become the owner using the CD based OS? Or is there some other way I can copy these files? Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
