Linux has 2 different schools of thought for the first user number, with the majority using #500 for the first user, but the ubuntu based flavors all use 1000 as the first user number. So, plug the card into the box where you are getting these errors, and when its mounted, do an ls -la on it. If in that return, you see a bunch of numbers where the user and group should be, that is your problem. There may be better ways, but I generally will become root and chown the whole SD (or CF) card to me:me where me=my username. Then of course the other machine loses out and you have to do it allover again. Becoming root, and running the file manager as root may in the end be the easiest way. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite > It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production > Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead. > Download for free and get started troubleshooting in minutes. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/appdyn_d2d_ap2 > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
