upgrade to betsy cant access partitions

[DenBow77]

Hello,
I have an older AMD 64 X2 system. I had a stable LMDE setup working well, but after a while of no updates, I decided to do an in-place upgrade to Betsy. After the operations ceased, the system boots fine, but I can't access the other (work data) partitions on my hard drive. I also have to start system applications like "gparted" and "synaptic" from a root terminal.

I believe that some of the file or directory ownership and permissions may be confused in the home directory. Is there a map or guide that tells me what permissions and ownerships are needed for the system to operate well?

Can anyone help me, please?


I can access everything with a live CD boot of Betsy.



Thank you for any and all assistance with this,
DenBow

Everything in a user's /home should be owned by the user. You can run this command to make sure everything is correct:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME

Thank you for that information. I will try this and reboot later to check out the changes to the system.
