Zeke, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 as guest on a VMware® Workstation 10 and Windows 7-64 as host. I made a shared directory between windows and Ubuntu named DBSI where then I put the /volumetric/MGZ under it. So, how can I give permission for that ? Mahmoud On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 10:21 AM, Z K wro

No it doesnt make a difference. Are you using a the virtual machine version of freesurfer with a shared folder? Or some other system where you are mounting a readonly file system? That is most likely your issue. You will have to place your subjects directory onto a location in which you have w

you have to tell the symbolic link where to put the directory copy this exactly into your terminal, including the period at the end SUBJECTS_DIR=/mnt/hgfs/DBSI/volumetric/MGZ cd $SUBJECTS_DIR ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage . On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 9:46 AM, Mahmoud wrote: > Paul,

Try something like: cd $SUBJECTS_DIR ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage . Confirm the linked directory is now in your $SUBJECTS_DIR, then try running your script. On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 9:20 AM, Mahmoud wrote: > Paul, > > The fsaverages are in $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects. So does it mean

The general fsaverage (as well as it's other iterations, fsaverages 3-6) should be located in your $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects directory. You could symbolically link it over to your $SUBJECTS_DIR. On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 9:09 AM, Mahmoud wrote: > Dear All, > > I ran the following script: > > #!/bi
