[Solved] Folder permissions
[Solved] Folder permissions
I am trying to change user permissions for a folder but am being told the folder doesn't exist.
I am writing sudo chmod 766 /usr/lib/GIMP/2.0/plug-ins I have tried with "gimp" in lower case but the same thing.

Re: Folder permissions
Debian 12:
lower case. What does your output show?
Code: Select all
coffee@buster:/usr/lib/gimp/2.0$ ls -l
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 15 09:31 environ
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 15 09:31 interpreters
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 15 09:31 modules
drwxr-xr-x 123 root root 4096 Aug 15 09:31 plug-ins
Get your linux on.

Re: Folder permissions
Just do this :
coffee@buster:/usr/lib/gimp/2.0$ is just my prompt in the term window
Code: Select all
ls -l /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/

Re: Folder permissions
Why do you need to change permissions on the plugins directory?
Get your linux on.

Re: Folder permissions
In any case, do this:
Note the original permissions on it are 755 in case something breaks.
Code: Select all
cd /usr/lib/gimp/2.0
Code: Select all
sudo chmod 766 plug-ins
Get your linux on.
Re: Folder permissions
Thank you. I wanted to be able to remove the old G'mic qt plugin and put in a later version using a GUI. I don't understand why the gimp compilers put it there instead of the user folder. Anyway, after following your instructions, I now just get a permanent "busy" cursor when I try to open the plugins folder. I might have to change it back and find out how to replace plugins using terminal.
EDIT: 777 worked. Now I have an upgraded and updated gmic. Thank you so much for your help - it really is appreciated!
