I've been through all tutorials and solved problems I can find about RVM. There's something wrong with permissions. There are no rubies installed, and when I try to install one: "permission denied". I can't even do rvm implode without "permission denied".

I'm quite new to Linux and I have a permissions questions. I'm using Linux Mint.

If I go to /opt and do a $ echo hi > file it says permission denied.

If I try with sudo, like this $ sudo echo > file it says permission denied.

Isn't sudo to execute the command as superuser?

I have a shared directory on another machine but I can't get it to mount as a samba share.

I'm using Rsync to backup an Ubuntu Server server. I'm getting a lot of permission denied messages. Is there a command I can use to see exactly what directories were denied? I could scroll back up through all the files, but that would take forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am doing a search on my linux console by find /export/home01/ -name sql | grep -v 'Permission denied'

However, it failed to filter out the lines with "Permission denied"

like showing lines of find: /export/home01/oracle/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/log: Permission denied.

What's wrong with my command?
