Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfce4-terminal
I know, it was a dumb idea... trying to chmod a file on my shared
win/linux fat32 partition. However, the error message "Operation not
permitted" was not very helpful because it seemed to say that I had done
something _forbidden_, whereas it is _impossible_.
It could be something like:
"This file system does not support read/write/execute rights for
different users."
And, if you want to tell the dual booters that they are a weird kind of
people, add: "Use a better file system if you want to chmod."
:-)
Hope this helps to improve the trans-usability for people who are trying
to slowly get away from windows. Assume I don't know _why_ I cannot set
the rights - I would dispair.
Have a nice time, and thanks to everyone who is working on (x)Ubuntu!
