Hello, I'm preparing a machine for children under LM lite xcfe with several sessions: Zilou, Thioré, Guest
I want to share the Films directory: /home/zilou/Films with Thiore, in Tunar/Properties/Permissions I have set Read & Write permissions everywhere for my directory via the interface.
I created a symbolic link on /home/thiore which points to /home/zilou/Films but when I tried to open it on the session it asked me which application to open it with. put file manager and it reopens a Thunard window without opening the directory.
Same if I entry /home/zilou/Films in Thunard
What did I do to make this not work and in short how can I share a directory for other sessions user on a PC?

Re: Share a directory for other sessions users in xcfe
Let's start with the easy part:
Open a terminal as zilou and run:
Now thiore can follow the symlink to the Films directory
Only zilou can get to Films because of the default permissions in Mint on home directories. To fix the symlink:I want to share the Films directory: /home/zilou/Films with Thiore, in Tunar/Properties/Permissions I have set Read & Write permissions everywhere for my directory via the interface.
I created a symbolic link on /home/thiore which points to /home/zilou/Films but when I tried to open it on the session it asked me which application to open it with.
Open a terminal as zilou and run:
Code: Select all
chmod o+x /home/zilou
