Re: xterm operation not permitted
Hi, I found a solution that worked, which was recommended on the "macOS Catalina" forum at discussions.apple.com : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251027260?answerId=252097327022 The solution is to give "Full Disk Access" to /bin/bash. [1] But I don't know why it works, since I in fact use tcsh, and neither does the person who offered the solution. [1] /bin is hidden to us by OS X, so one needs to navigate to "Macintosh HD" and then type "command+shift" plus the " . " symbol to make the directory visible.

xterm operation not permitted
Hello, I'm on a Mac (Mac Catalina 10.15.2, XQuartz 2.7.11). The problem is using the xterm provided by XQuartz, I no longer have permission to look in my directories : Wed 16:59 [bjk] ls ~/Documents/ ls: : Operation not permitted I found a solution recommended online, which is : 1) System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> "Full Disk Access" 2) Unlock then add "Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app" 3) Restart everything. However, I still get the same error. The other "Terminal" program still works, so this is not fatal. But right now XQuartz is not usable for me. Suggestions ? Best, Ben p.s. Apologies if I am posting to the wrong forum or should have found the answer to this somewhere online. ___ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
