[Trisquel-users] Re : GNU parted - how to update to new version?

[lcerf]

'sudo chmod 777' quite extreme.  You probably just wanted to change the owner  
and the group with 'sudo chown', either applied at the root of the filesystem  
or, if there are different users, on as many directories created with 'sudo  
mkdir' (to get permissions analog to those of the home folders in /home).
