Hello all,
as every other new delighted Pandora owner, I am slowly learning my way on it.
I am an everyday Linux user at work (terminal only), but am not really at ease with its guts, so I parsed the few first pages of support threads (including the sticky one), and having not found anything remotely related to my problems, dares to ask. Hope I didn't miss something.
After a blissful first few hours where everything worked perfectly, a lot of applications cannot start anymore, or can't save anything. I traced this to the fact that everything on my 2x16GB SD cards is owned by root and has 755 permissions. So of course, no process running as a standard user can write or change anything (this also shows in file manager, Delete/Cut/Rename options are grayed in contextual menu for each file/dir).
I could certainly "sudo chmod -R" my way to set to whole tree to "writable by everyone", but I feel bad about it. And I clearly recall being able to move files yesterday evening, AFTER having applied Hotfix 5. What I have done wrong since ?
Both cards have been formated as FAT32 with the Windows XP standard utility in an internal SD card reader. The whole dir structure has also been created on the PC.
Oh and of course, eternal thanks to the OP team for this little marvel. We will still find new uses for it for years.
