Messed up root permissions Ubuntu 14.04 - Ask Ubuntu


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.
