Messed up root permissions Ubuntu 14.04 - Ask Ubuntu
this question has answer here:
while changing directory ownership, accidentally did
sudo chown subhadip / instead of sudo chown myapp
after realizing mistake, tried fixed few permissions i.e., sudo etc. sudo chown -r root / stopped operation wrong.
now getting “the system running in low-graphics mode” error, believe because of wrong permissions only.
i able login in console mode.
please guide me.
to repair personal space, run:
$ sudo chown -r $user:$user ~/ for of other applications broken have repair them see problem app. of sysem files owned root , still work.
certain services such mysql , apache owned specific user... in case of mysql user mysql. in case of apache default user www-data.
there other server programs might run such ftp. ftp server default user ftp.
if application broken, it'll give error suggests problem permission.
