<kvarley> I formatted my sd card to ext4 via gparted. Now it won't let me write/delete files/folders unless I am root. How can I change it so that anybody can change the stuff on there?
<gordonjcp> AlanBell: it's a bit of both
<AlanBell> kvarley: if you create a folder as root you can then chown it to your regular user
<kvarley> AlanBell: I did chmod -R 777 and it seems to have worked
<kvarley> AlanBell: Thanks though, I shall bear that in mind for future cards =]
<AlanBell> 777 is probably not a good thing
 * AlanBell frowns at octal permissions
<hamitron> AlanBell, what would you use?
<AlanBell> hamitron: well maybe chmod ug+rw or something
<hamitron> would that be the same as 660?
<AlanBell> point being I don't like people talking about 777 or 644 or whatever because lots of people see that withough having the first clue what it means in terms of user group other / read write execute
<hamitron> I only know the octal form, is why i asked
<hamitron> :)
<hamitron> I think the way you say is probably clearer and better to explain
<AlanBell> 110 in binary is 6 in octal, but a heap of people don't know that and don't know that it is turning on r and w and off x
<Azelphur> yea, I tend to always use the letters it makes more sense / is human readable
<AlanBell> you get people saying "I just set everything to 777 and all my permissions problems went away"
<Azelphur> haha
<hamitron> I tend to use 644 or 755
<hamitron> but I remember reading a chapter on permissions in my first book on linux
<hamitron> :)
<Azelphur> On my desktop I don't really care too much as I'm the only user
<AlanBell> sure, and by all means use octal yourself
