Cinnamon 20.2 Can not create new folder

Post by Thomas22 »

Hi everyone,

Regarding to this issue
I just installed 20.2 after Win 10. I was searching some good alternative for windows.
It says Error while copying to desktop. Destination is read only.
And now also.. Unable to capture screenshoot.

Thanks & have a good day!

Hi Thomas, and welcome to the forum.
I am surprised you are having this problem. Please open a terminal and issue this command:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER $HOME
There might be a lot of output, or perhaps very little. After the command finishes, did that fix the problem? If so, I hope the fix is permanent and is still fixed after you restart.
