Help Please

[watson90210]

I changed something under system settings=>users&groups and now anytime I try to I try to open something that requires root privileges I get the error "Su Returned with an Error". If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

This all came about because I was trying to figure out how to be able to save stuff to my raid directory. When I attempt It tells me I don't have access to it and I couldn't figure out how to gain access to it. If anyone could help me with THIS problem I would greatly appreciate it as well.

Re: Help Please

I realize it has been a few days since you posted this. Have you resolved the problem?

If not, you might want to take a look at your /etc/sudoers file to see if your user is still in there. If not, I'm a little lost on how you will get the permissions back unless you have a different user that does have sudo access, or you have set up a root password already.

If you get the first problem resolved, you can fix the second with this:

sudo chown yourusername:yourgroupname directory
