Hi John, Thank you for taking the time to share your bug report. You seem to be trying to change the permissions on a file that lives on a Windows partition. Windows usually uses the NTFS file system. NTFS uses a permission/ownership model that is not really compatible with the Unix/Linux methods for permission/ownership.
Here is a link that explains the situation somewhat, and offers a potential solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-to-chmod- on-an-ntfs-partition Since this is not really a bug you might want to search or ask about this in the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/. Thank you again, and good luck :) ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Invalid -- terminal commands to change ownership & permissions from root to my user name/group aren't working even though I get a confirmation that they were changed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/623390 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
