Here is a previous thread I'd like clarification on.
Code: Select all
sudo find ~/ -user root
~/ (tilde slash) The tilde (~) is a Linux "shortcut" to denote a user's home directory. Thus tilde slash (~/) is the beginning of a path to a file or directory below the user's home directory. To my knowledge, The command means to find or search in your user home directory and find root files that for some reason was in there. (Most of the time these root files are from other apps that was installed by the user)
Code: Select all
sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER $HOME
My question is... where is says $USER, should this be my $'username', the same one my home folder is named after?
