Missing executable permissions on SD card

I'm unsure of what I did, or when I did it as I've just been avoiding my retro games cuz of this error

Launching any emulator(launched from emudecks .sh files) gets this

The program '/run/media/SDCard/Emulation/tools/launchers/ryujinx.sh' is missing permissions.

The program '/run/media/SDCard/Emulation/tools/launchers/ryujinx.sh' is missing permissions.

However when I check kde partition manager and dolphin, I seem to see everything having permissions, including the .sh file being checked to be executable

any help?

TrayOP•8/30/24, 5:39 AM

my steam games run perfectly fine off my SD card still

TrayOP•8/30/24, 5:39 AM

like bo3 zombies with custom maps and mods all on the SD card work

TrayOP•8/30/24, 6:35 AM

removed all mount options on sd card fixed it

TrayOP•8/30/24, 6:35 AM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Tray Do you mind explaining what you mean by "removing all mount options on sd card"? My card stopped letting me write or delete stuff on it recently for no reason. Bazzite has been such a headache in many ways so far.

i am not sure

TrayOP•12/13/24, 7:56 PM

i believe i edited the one file

TrayOP•12/13/24, 7:56 PM

with the uh

TrayOP•12/13/24, 7:56 PM

/etc/whatever

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 7:56 PM

lol ok I'll keep looking into it

TrayOP•12/13/24, 7:56 PM

fstab

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 7:57 PM

I don't know why bazzite just decided to revoke my SD card permissions randomly

TrayOP•12/13/24, 7:57 PM

check /etc/fstab

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 7:57 PM

Can't wait for the real steam OS to launch. This has been worse than windows so far.

TrayOP•12/13/24, 7:58 PM

TTimaaahhh I don't know why bazzite just decided to revoke my SD card permissions randomly

TrayOP•12/13/24, 7:59 PM

your fstab might be different from what kde partition manager says

TrayOP•12/13/24, 7:59 PM

bazzite will go off of what your fstab says

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 8:04 PM

Just learning this term.. fstab

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 8:06 PM

Apparently I am no longer the "owner" of the SD card

TTimaaahhh Can't wait for the real steam OS to launch. This has been worse than windows so ...

steamos works the same way
same automount script for sd cards
if you manually set it up you are responsible for setting the correct settings yourself
which reminds me did you check the documentation which we have written for this very thing?
https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/Auto-Mounting_Secondary_Drives/?

Auto-Mounting Secondary Drives - Bazzite Documentation

Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 8:54 PM

I did, yeah. My 2TB sd card is now bricked and I can't format it on any device.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 8:54 PM

I thought I was doing the KDE stuff right from the jump. Not sure what happened.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 8:58 PM

I'm dual booting windows but this SD card is only meant to store roms I'm using on the bazzite side. So I don't need it to do anything in Windows.

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 8:58 PM

if you cant format it at all it means the sdcard itself is dead. you can try using

wipefs

wipefs

to or

dd

dd

to write zeros to it and it might let you format it again but most likely the sdcard itself has failed

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 8:59 PM

I read a lot of setup documentation when I first installed bazzite.. I don't remember if something told me to set up the card in Steam? I formatted it there originally.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 8:59 PM

Worked fine for days then linux suddenly decided I didn't have permissions to copy or delete files on it.

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 8:59 PM

steam mounts it automatically if its an sdcard

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 8:59 PM

or rather the steamos udev rules mount it automatically

TTimaaahhh Worked fine for days then linux suddenly decided I didn't have permissions to co...

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 9:01 PM

if its a "read only filesystem" issue or "input output error" then its the sdcard failing (this would be true for any drive too) or the filesystem being corrupted

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:02 PM

I might try the wipefs thing you mentioned. This was an expensive 2tb card.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:02 PM

Oh hey wait! I was able to re-format it back to NTFS on my windows PC.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:02 PM

Maybe I can start over.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:02 PM

(Not with NTFS of course, I just wanted to get it back to a baseline)

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 9:03 PM

oh might be that it fails to format it in bazzite due to the udev rule from steamos automounting it back when it sees the filesystem

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 9:03 PM

remove the partition in windows and then format it btrfs in bazzite

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 9:03 PM

but if it keeps going read only, then something might be wrong with the sdcard

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 9:04 PM

you can also just check the permissions on the card

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 9:04 PM

ls -la /path/to/mount

ls -la /path/to/mount

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:04 PM

Thanks for your help btw.. Didn't mean to direct any anger. Just taking a lot of time to get my new bazzite ally to a stable place.

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 9:04 PM

see if the files are owned by you

HikariKnight•12/13/24, 9:04 PM

and that you got read and write permissions

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:04 PM

Well ok let's back up a sec.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:05 PM

On my original bazzite install.. I formatted the SD card in Steam. All seemed to be going well. I added a ton of stuff to it and left it with about 200gigs of free space on the 2TB capacity.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:05 PM

Roms were launching just fine and everything.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:06 PM

Then today suddenly.. When I was trying to transfer scraped game art, I couldn't move or delete anything. I no longer had any permissions.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:06 PM

That's what got me here.

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:06 PM

I'm starting over with this SD and I will check permissions with that command you listed

Timaaahhh•12/13/24, 9:06 PM

ls -la /path/to/mount
