File wont execute as owner

[feral shell]

the parent dir is owner by a differnt user

[potent hatch]

sudo chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwx ~/wsgi.py

if this doesnt work then idk what to do :V

it must work xD

[feral shell]

could it be because the parent is owner by someone else?

[potent hatch]

im not sure :/ maybe

[feral shell]

OO

i change the parent dir to runner

[potent hatch]

sudo chown $USER:$USER -R . would this work? XD

[feral shell]

and it worked

[potent hatch]

srsly? omg >:[

i dont understand linux :V

[feral shell]

this is the permission structure

idk why that doesnt work

[potent hatch]

@sterile echo parent dir problem o.O

[feral shell]

how do i add a perm, is it just +x +r?

instead of reseting it

[sterile echo]

the easiest way is right click the file or folder in file manager. then go to Properties, > permissions tab

if you have a desktop environment anyway.

[feral shell]

yh would do but ^

[potent hatch]

i just use chmod +x ./run.sh to make files executable :V

[sterile echo]

no DE, just shell?

[feral shell]

i got the DE but in trying out the shell

[sterile echo]

k

[potent hatch]

i hate DE >:[

[feral shell]

for everyone tho?

[potent hatch]

not sure what u mean xD

[sterile echo]

adding +x as Hey mentioned will mark it executable for all grouplets (owner, group, and world)

[potent hatch]

ah owo

i never knew :V

[sterile echo]

you can confirm using ls -l

[feral shell]

so if i wanted to add the permssion to just the group to have execute

[potent hatch]

chmod g=+x ~/wtf.lua

[sterile echo]

then u gotta mess with the number system 774

[feral shell]

👍

[sterile echo]

or that

[potent hatch]

number system is beyond my comprehension :V

[feral shell]

im the other way around

[sterile echo]

grouplet 1 (4,2,1) ; grouplet 2 (4,2,1) ; grouplet 3 (4,2,1)

4 2 and 1 are place holders.

and that's their maximum values.

[feral shell]

this is what caused the issue.

the world exectuion was changed

[sterile echo]

grouplet 1 is the owner perm's: if set to 7, that means owner can read(4),write(2), and execute(1).

[potent hatch]

your shell is very weird :V add some colors

[feral shell]

it happens sometimes

[potent hatch]

ye idk if i will remember that xD

[sterile echo]

if set to 777, (all three grouplets are maxed out to 7 ) that means owner,group,and world can do EVERYTHING (read,write,and execute the file)

[feral shell]

w=+x is world right?

[sterile echo]

idk

probably

[feral shell]

@potent hatch

[potent hatch]

what the hell is world? owo

theres: user, group, others

[feral shell]

o someone said world earlier

so its o=+x

[sterile echo]

I agree!

[potent hatch]

lol

[sterile echo]

o for "others"

[feral shell]

is threer a simple way?

[feral shell]

the public

[feral shell]

its o=+x to add execute for everyone?

[potent hatch]

nixifying owo adding zsh customization,
switching ls to eza, etc ,etc

[sterile echo]

see the third grouplet in my pic? this is a folder properties , not a file's . and i underlined that in 'folder acces' create and delete is set. that means all public can add to , delete , or read that folder and its contents

[feral shell]

i see gotccha

[potent hatch]

i think last time i set perms with gui was many years ago 🤔

[sterile echo]

I'll only insist on using GUI to prevent going insane, personally.

in xfce file manager (thunar)

[feral shell]

disagree, gone insane from using gui

[potent hatch]

they sould add Others label for the last one, looks slightly confusing

[sterile echo]

I very much agree. in the case for nemo

[potent hatch]

lol

[sterile echo]

to me personally, it seems like a shocking omission to not label that third grouplet properly - and expect any user to just know what that does

at least Thunar got it right.

[potent hatch]

maybe i should do a pr 🤔

would help padding my resume xD
