I dont have write permissions on /media/music after install - patricia1066 - 11-Jun-2023 Ubuntu 22.04 minimal, SO 1.2.11, HP T520 thinclient, Minimserver basic, SSH from Debian laptop (penguin) I installed SO with minimal Ubuntu 22.04 desktop. I followed the wiki but was unable to install from /home so I installed to /home/patricia which has led to this problem. [Download the latest new install snakeoil (currently 1.2.6.sh) and paste into the root of the “home” folder] See Image 2 for what this looks like from the Debian file manager connect to server SFTP. When I access patricia@localhost by ssh in terminal, [ls] Desktop, Documents etc rather than the media folder. I use a Linux Debian laptop to manage the HP t520 thin client on which SO is installed. When I used Ubuntu server edition this did not occur and it isn't a problem for others who have used the desktop version. How can I set it up so I am in the right folder when i ssh and get write permission so I can change tags? I have a permissions issue when I try to save the installer to any other folder. Its necessary to sort it out so I can use a tagger via sshfs or SSH. Once I was exploring minimserver I noticed how my tagging isn't good enough to see all my music, as minim won't apply the same rules as LMS in identifying by file name. [email protected] is the SO thin client, patricia@penguin is my debian laptop Image 1 is the home folder (no permission to copy to); Image 2 explores my user folder /home/patricia, where I can copy to; Image 3 is the root where /media/music resides (no permission to copy to) Image 4 shows ccurrent file permission for music folder The code snippet shows terminal sshfs is denied access to :/media/music but has access to :/home/patricia/Downloads ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Code: patricia@penguin:~$ sshfs [email protected]:/media/music/flac ~/mnt RE: I dont have write permissions on /media/music after install - patricia1066 - 12-Jun-2023 Having defined my problem I tried to change permissions recursively, sudo chmod 760 -R /media/music/Flac Now I have lost access to the Flac folder How do I recover it? LMS is working although /media/music is not accessible. The files are not damaged, I can access them by sftp. Minimserver has gone from the frontend SO webadmin, I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it failed with this error Server not available: localhost:9790 +:status=2 Stopping MinimServer process 1551 I will leave it alone until I get advice. I have been testing tagging with songkong and easytag which has all failed to update tags. RE: I dont have write permissions on /media/music after install - Snoopy8 - 12-Jun-2023 When I had some music on the SO instance (usually on NAS), I used sudo chmod 777 -R /media/music/Flac Yes, the lazy way, but when I tried to restrict it, came across issues that you have encountered. RE: I dont have write permissions on /media/music after install - patricia1066 - 12-Jun-2023 777 is the lucky number! I have my 4484 songs back!

I don't think I have found the exact location for home directory, but I will clarify this better in the wiki. It's this disconnect between IT people and general public that I find interesting. And it is this curiosity that inspires me to come up with the Snakeoil project. Granted I havn't spent as much time as I like on this project this days, but I always like to bridge that gap and make computers in general more assessible to the general public.
