| Post subject: | /myth/games not accessible to user mythtv... |
Hi! I'm using R5F27. I just tried to send some games in /myth/games using the default samba share. It would not allow me write access. After further investigation, I observed that the owner and group of the /myth/games folder is not mythtv, hence causing issue with permissions (even on the box, logged as mythtv, I only had read/execute access). Here is a ls -la output of the /myth folder (no modification since installation): Code: drwxr-xr-x 6 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 16:26 democracy drwxrwxr-x 3 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 17 15:12 gallery drwxrwxr-x 6 root root 4096 Dec 19 19:21 games drwxrwxrwx 2 www-data www-data 4096 Dec 16 10:45 image_cache drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 10:45 ipodfeed drwx------ 2 mythtv mythtv 16384 Dec 16 15:30 lost+found drwxrwxr-x 3 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 17 15:12 motion drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 17 14:42 music drwxrwxr-x 4 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 16:15 phone drwxr-xr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 16:14 pretty drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 16 16:14 rrd drwxrwxr-x 5 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 16:23 stream drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 16:14 streamtv drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 10:45 tmp drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 15:46 tv drwxrwxr-x 5 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 19 19:08 video The simple solution to this issue (I'm somewhat of a linux newbie and did not want/know how to mess with groups) is to change the owner of the games folder (and its children) back to mythtv. This is done (as root) with Code: chown -R mythtv /myth/games/
For me, this fixed the issue and I can now access freely the /myth/games/* folders. Shouldn't those folders have the same level of access as the other /myth folders (like /myth/video and /myth/music) by default? Could it be a simple mistake in a script somewhere? Could it be that for some reason, on my machine the mkmythdir script (or some other setup script) did not run correctly? Or could it be that I messed up something (either when enabling smb shares or whatever else) on my own? Note that I did do a apt-get upgrade early on in my setup process. That upgraded a sh*tload of packages, including Xorg... Might have something to do with it? Thanks for any info!

I don't know if it's by design or an omission, but I informed the other testers about it. It isn't because you did an apt-get update. If it's not root for a specific reason, it'll probably be corrected for the next release. Thanks for reporting this! |
