 |
|
Just finished installing gentoo, however when I am in shell as a non-root user, when cd'ing to / then issuing an ls, I get... | Code: | home /> ls
ls: .: Permission denied |
This is what my fstab reads for the / mount... | Code: | | /dev/hdb3 / reiserfs defaults,noatime 0 1 |
The strange thing is that it seemed to have worked before. Below is an ls -al of /... | Code: | home / # ls -al
total 16
d-wxr----t 20 root root 464 Sep 17 18:58 .
d-wxr----t 20 root root 464 Sep 17 18:58 ..

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Sep 17 18:58 windows |
...as you can see, most directories are read/execute for everyone.
Any ideas?

| Try looking at "http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=5", find the red box half way down the page. This has been covered many times I believe |

Nice, not sure how I missed that!
So now that I am fully installed, is there any way to fix this without starting over?
Maybe boot to the livecd then chmod it? |

| Yep, boot to the live cd and mount the partitions as you did at the start of the install, do the chmod, unmount, reboot, HAND. |

Well, I tried it before I recieved your reply and it worked like a charm! 
WHEW!!!!
Thanks for pointing that out to me, I was moving into perpetual frustration mode.
SOLUTION | Code: | 1. boot to live cd
2. mount your root partition to /mnt/gentoo (in my case, it was mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/gentoo)
3. chmod 755 /mnt/gentoo
4. umount /mnt/gentoo
5. reboot |
