I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04LTS and was trying to set up my system
when I came across this challenge.
Used both GUI and CLI to check ownership of several files and directories.
Found root as owner. Used CLI to change both group and owner separately and
together.
' sudo chown -v ian:ian /media/ian/Data/tempstore/Pictures/'
[sudo] password for ian:
changed ownership of '/media/ian/Data/tempstore/Pictures/' from root:root to
ian:ian'
Unfortunately when checked no changes had taken place on the directory or any
files in later attempts.
I tried using libre office to change a file contents in the directory
'Pictures' and it saved the changes just fine even though I wasn't a
superuser but digikam wouldn't add new files from that or any other
directory - message was 'No new files to add' or similar.
I would have included screen shots but couldn't get them to upload. Sorry.
lsb_release -rd gives
'Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 24.04'
This could be in one or more of several packages from low level disk handling
upwards so no suspected package for bug source.
