(1) For this, it seems a simple sudo avgscan ~
will suffice. If you are not familiar with sudo
, try man sudo
. It temporarily elevates the user to root privileges. man
will fetch the manual page for a command. It is very useful to read these pages to understand how commands can be used and what they do.
(2) What exactly did you do with chmod? Remember the following: if using chmod ###
the first number is for owner, the second for other users in the file's group, and the fourth for users not in the file's group.
Each number functions as follows:4 for read, 2 for write, and 1 for execution rights. So chmod 777 /media/Ubuntu_Data
gives you everything. This isn't good practice unless you have a reason for it.
Also, ls -l /media/Ubuntu_Data
will tell you the permissions currently set. At the end of the day, chmod 775 /media/Ubuntu_Data
will give you write permissions on your folder without giving everyone in the world write. Give that a shot.
And please, for future question purposes, include as much info as you can, e.g. how you used the chmod command. "I've tried chmod on this folder and I can't get it to work." does not tell us a tremendous amount about what you did.
sudo mount
? Also that folder (/media/Ubuntu_Data
) is in a different partition?
