Try nautilus as root. Alt+F2 > gksu nautilus > type your password. Or in Terminal: sudo nautilus your password
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
I'm running Trisquel on my Mac Mini as my primary machine. I have a Time Machine backup, too, (uses version control) but I just copied my OS X home folder to an external drive, then installed Trisquel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
Oh, I'm not sure how to work with those formats in Trisquel. Whenever I want to exchange files, using a USB drive, I format the file system as FAT on the USB. When sneaker-netting files from one machine running GNU/Linux to another, I suppose you can format the USB as ext3, ext4, or xfs?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
I ended up copying and reformatting one of these after returning home to Trisquel from another distro that messed things up. Long story. LOL. Also, if you haven't broken down the Mac Mini, you can start it, connect it to your network, find it on your Trisquel box (open the desktop folder called "network servers"), and log into your Mini from there. Once connected, working with the remote folder is just like working with any folder already on the Trisquel side.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
If I try to copy it, it says "Permission Denied", or something like that.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
I'm not sure, it was formatted as HFS+ with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
Looks like this is a fairly common issue. If my web search-fu is strong, this happens because of a problem with the file system. The best solution would be to copy all you wish to save off the disk and then reformat it. Or if you're a gambler, you could fsck it. :)

Who owns "320 Gigabyte" ? ll "/media/320 Gigabyte"
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
It doesn't actually say my name, but here is the output.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
If your name shows up in the output of ls -la /media/320\ Gigabyte/Mac\ Mini\ Home\ Folder\ Backup/' you own the files. I think the owner's and group's names are in the 4th and 5th columns of the listing. What is the output of chmod --recursive 755 /media/320\ Gigabyte/Mac\ Mini\ Home\ Folder\ Backup/' This 'chmod' command sets permissions such that you can do everything to the files, but your group and all other users can only read and execute.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
I'm not sure if it worked, because this is a sample of much of the output: "chown: changing ownership of `/media/320 Gigabyte/Mac Mini Home Folder Backup/': Read-only file system" The files are on an external hard drive, connected by USB. I also noticed that there is no option to delete files on that drive, the 'Move to Trash' option on the right-click menu is grayed out.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
Assuming the username gameboy, and the directory called files-from-osx,do this in a terminal: sudo -i enter your password chown --recursive gameboy /home/gameboy/files-from-osx/ exit chmod --recursive 755 /home/gameboy/files-from-osx/ HTH, Dave
Re: [Trisquel-users] Change all permissions
sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` /path/to/home/folder
