I also tried adding /opt/X11/bin/xterm and /bin/ls to the Full Disk Access list and that didn’t work either. Funny thing is, I can access almost every folder on the machine *except* Documents, Desktop, Downloads. Seems odd that security would be tight around my own Documents, but the system itself including /usr and /opt is fair game. On the other hand, cd seems to work fine. I can get to any directory within Documents. I can do mkdir inside Documents and then within the created directory I can do the usual operations. So for example, I can create a directory /Users/Myname/Documents/foo using mkdir. I can go to the finder and drag a file from anywhere in Documents and drop it in the new directory, and then I can view/edit/ls/whatever as long as I’m in that directory. So my guess is there’s something peculiar going on with just the Documents, Desktop, and Downloads directories and their subdirectories. Note that creating a new folder via the Finder does not work, the new directory has the same limitations as its parent. For me, this may be the temporary fix. Create an “Uploads” folder using mkdir so I can transfer files between remote machine and local mac using scp and then work through the Finder locally. Not ideal, but it could be worse.

Trying to `ls` Desktop, Documents, and Download, got the behavior mentioned in this thread. Cd’ed to Desktop, then did `ls`, worked fine. Cd`ed back to home and then did `ls` on Desktop, worked fine. Same for the others. Always worked on other directories from home such as Public, Sites, Pictures, Movies, and other directories I’ve created. rxvt had no problem from the get go. Looks like Catalina introduced something into the Posix sub-system that xterm, Eterm were using. Probably a bug-fix that xterm and Eterm were taking advantage of.

Xterm behaved as has been described in this thread, but, rxvt, eterm seem to be working fine, at least with respect to the behavior here. Running with SIP activated, stock Catalina install, X11 support installed in /opt.

I don’t particularly want to run with SIP completely off, but maybe I’ll have to until this is resolved. I’ll wait until it’s a big problem. What I don’t understand is why ls works in my home directory, but not any of the subdirectories.

Oddly enough, “ls" works fine in my home directory, just not any directories below that. I understand this is a casualty of the new SIP settings. I tried giving XQuartz full disk access in the privacy settings, but that didn’t help. Any ideas? Have you tried re-installing XQuartz? That's my go-to solution for permissions issues, and I typically find that I have to do it after any major OS upgrade. FWIW, I've had no problems with XQuartz under Catalina, except for having to do the aforementioned reinstall. But I run with SIP off (for reasons unrelated to X11), so maybe that's not a relevant data point for you. regards, tom lane ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ But leaving those of the Body, I shall proceed to such Recreation as adorn the Mind; of which those of the Mathematicks are inferior to none. ~William Leybourn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Chopp Chair Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics Northwestern University E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Phone: (847)-491-8391 Fax: (847)-491-2178 Homepage: http://people.esam.northwestern.edu/chopp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
