Kubuntu has truly spoiled me so far - only a few issues. One of them; permissions. Having downloaded a ttf font I wish to move it to the USR folder to keep the other fonts company. However when I try doing so the 'move here' and 'copy here' functions are grayed out. Thinking its a permission thing I go to user management in System Settings. I'm the only user. The guy who moved me from Mandriva said I didn't need an SU or root account. I look at my groups (about the only thing I can do) and note root isn't one of them. So I make root one of my secondary groups, and try moving the file again. No luck. So I look at my permissions, and it appears I can read and execute from USR, but not write, even as root. Hm. So I try chmod +w /usr. I get the prompt back, but did it work? The w permission only shows up for the owner, not the group or other. Please excuse my rudimentary knowledge, but what am I missing here? the listed permission to /usr is drwxr-xr-x
