linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi there. Just setting up eclipse to do some android development. I have a hard-drive mounted with the sdk on it in a folder. I have full access to it but when I boot up eclipse, I get permission denied on ADB (ADB is a platform tool for android). Ive tried setting the folder permissions with Chmod 755 on the folder "android-sdk" but Eclipse still cant access it. Does Chmod not work recursively? Or is 755 not give read and write permissions for programs? One last thing is I have tried setting the permissions through the UI instead of the console but every time I change it, (Hardware)

Eclipse 4.2.2 4 weeks 6 days ago

To get started, I installed the Android SDK with ADT that also came with eclipse (unknown to me it came with eclipse) after I installed the Eclipse for JAVA developers. Neither one works as it says it can't locate the JAVAW file under jre/bin that's suppose to be in the eclipse folder. Anyhow, to see if I could fix it I cut the JRE folder from my Java folder, and placed it in the eclipse folder.

Change Folder Permissions 45 weeks 3 days ago

I started off with changing to the folder I want to change permissions for, and that is the opt folder.

$ cd /opt/ test@testVM:/opt$

So I tried changing the permissions for this folder now using:

sudo chmod 775

And that hasn't worked.

After some play around with rooted devices, I got stuck on the files. Let's say we have a file somewhere in the root folder which I want to read/write from my application.

I've been trying to mount a second hard drive into Ubuntu. I've been following this guide and a few others that are essentially the same. Everything's going fine until I try to add a file or folder to the mounted drive - I'm then getting permissions errors.

The guides I've looked at seem to suggest you only need the correct permissions for the folder you're mounting into (/mnt/sdb) in my case.

I want to set permissions to a folder such that, when I'm normally logged in (meaning not as root), this folder isn't deletable, but I can still change the name of this folder and move in around in my system ?

IS this possible and if yes, how to set the permission ?
