In the specular thread that it's evolving right now [I (user) can write to / ... but why] there is an answer like this: |The problem on both my laptop and workstation was simply the fact that |the root partition (/) was owned by UID=1000 GUI=100. Apparently this |is |a bug, but a simple `chown root:root /` was sufficient to fix the |problem, and I also changed several file-permissions in underlying |directories (like usr). If you find something similar try a command like this: #find / -gid=100 -uid=1000 -type d (find all directories owned by user 1000:100, the first user in gentoo) !!! LOOK WELL AT THE OUTPUT !!! if you think *all* that directoryes should be owned by root this make the change. #find / -gid=100 -uid=1000 -type d -exec chown 0:0 {} \; -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
