I wanted to install jackett and sonarr, they are complicated to use as is, moreover I am using Ubuntu. I am following fuidleine for installing jackett with STUPID command line making it EXTRA difficult. But now I have to change directory ownerships and what nots. I am the ONLY user on this machine. I want to own everything by default I am root I am admin I am user I am all. How do I make this happen instead of sending stupid commands all the time and making using Linux EASY. Before anyone getting on about Security I don’t give 2centa about it .I just want to use and install and do whatever I wish.
How do I make this happen Forever, once inför all.
Yah if it was simple as that in Linux. When the page says do chown 775 xyz , the Linux throes error as can’t modify, then I go down rabbit hole…honestly it’s far from simple
To be able to use chown (Change Owner) you need to have the powers to do so.
Your default user does not have such powers when the target is not yet owned by that user. Perhaps you did not use sudo, like sudo chown 775 xyz So I guess the documentation of that software installation howto is lacking specifics for Ubuntu (Ubuntu uses sudo, but e.g. Debian does not do so and defaults to su).
