This question is NOT about access to USB or external drives.
WPS Witer and other just installed Ubuntu software can NOT open files saved on my /media directory. I keep getting the annoying message: « Could not read the contents of '/media': Permission denied ».
MY SIMPLE QUESTION REMAINS:
How can I access all files and folders on my user username/media/ directory?
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.
Ubuntu's Nautilus can indeed access all files and folders in all locations. However, Ubuntu's software that I have downloaded (e.g. KRITA, WPS WRITER etc) can NOT access any file or folder on the /media directory. Thanks in advance.
apt install krita
, I understand you want a GUI. Use Synaptics for that then. Personally, for me, snaps were the last straw and that's why I left for Debian. Snaps have their place for proprietary software, but stuff like the calculator should not be a snap. That's my opinion. Don't use snaps and your problems will go away.
