Hi

The SD card is not set RO.

I looked a bit more and correct me if im wrong (probably am)

So the active directory is /mnt/utmp/prboom

The command is cp -r --no-clobber default/* .

I get

david-openpandora:/mnt/utmp/prboom$ cp -r --no-clobber default/* .
cp: cannot create regular file `./prboom.cfg': Permission denied
cp: cannot create regular file `./prboom.wad': Permission denied

if I look at the owner of prboom it's

david-openpandora:/mnt/utmp$ ls -l
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 May 26 19:53 op_calibrate
drwxr-xr-x 4 1000 root 32768 Jun 1 17:21 prboom
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 May 29 19:24 quake2

Is that a problem user 1000 would have been david which was my original user, I deleted that and created dave (uid 1001) after I messed the desktop up.

Maybe I should reset to factory.

those files are supposed to copied to the location /media/mmcblk#p#/pandora/appdata/prboom
do you have a folder /pandora/appdata on your sd card?

do you have a folder /pandora/appdata on your sd card?

Absolutely

pwd
/mnt/utmp/prboom
cp -r --no-clobber default/* /media/mmcblk0p1/pandora/appdata/prboom

# copy default data to appdata folder
cp -r --no-clobber default/* .

Is this not the command being run?

I'll just add now it's in there, the programs running OK now. Strange hope thats just a glitch.

Thanks for all your effort Pickle.

Its academic but I think it was something to do with deleting the initial build user.

I was getting:-

ls -l /media/mmcblk0p1/pandora/appdata/prboom
total 67776
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 root 12408292 Jun 12  1996 doom.wad

-r-xr-xr-x 1 1000 root 14604584 May 29  1996 doom2.wad
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 root 17420824 Jun  6  1996 plutonia.wad
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 root    10175 Jun  1 18:01 prboom.cfg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 root   280184 Jun  1 18:01 prboom.wad
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 root 18195736 Jun  6  1996 tnt.wad

I've rebuilt the nand, done the "out of box experience" and on the original SD card (unaltered) I got this now:-

-rwxr-xr-x 1 dave root 12408292 Jun 12  1996 doom.wad
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dave root  6362156 Jun  2  2010 doom1.wad
-r-xr-xr-x 1 dave root 14604584 May 29  1996 doom2.wad
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dave root       40 Jun  1 23:43 last-wad-path.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dave root 17420824 Jun  6  1996 plutonia.wad
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dave root    10255 Jun  1 23:44 prboom.cfg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dave root   280184 Jan 25  2009 prboom.wad
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dave root 18195736 Jun  6  1996 tnt.wad

All permisions working correctly now.

I think the 1000 was the system indicating it didn't know who uid 1000 belonged to so wouldn't give write access.
