I'm having all the same problems, but I'm using DSL-N, and I can't figure out how to check or change the group permissions.

Help?

Take a look at the man pages for following commands for changing permissions or ownership of files and directories:

chmod
chgrp
chown

Code:

---

man chmod
man chgrp
man chown

More on using the command line under linux can be found here:

LinuxCommand.org: Learn the Linux command line. Write shell scripts.

actually what I needed to do was add myself to gropu sound and group video in DSL-N. chmod/chown/chgrp wasn't what I needed, and there is plenty of help on the internet for that lol

I figured out how to do it and it still didn't work.
