what are you trying to do?
i didnt realise it cut it ill just copy the full message
does anybody know the command to change enclosed files to rea and write for all sources?? the gui wont save the changes and i need to change the permissions to allow virt-manager to use my gpu
if its installed as a flatpak, go to settings -> flatpak permissions
it cant write files because teh enclosed file permissions in the folder it needs access to are stuck at read only and it wont change on the gui
if its in /usr/, you can't change it
which means you are not doing it the correct way
either way you need to provide more information on what you did and what you want to do
its in /var/ this is a known issue dude that te gui doesnt save enclosed file permissions i just want the line of code that \changes enclosed file permissions
it cant do anything cuz enclosed file permissions cant change to allow it to do that
man chmod
you'll see a -R option to recursively set permissions
you most likely definitely don't want to just do this on /var itself though, what's the actual thing you want to do?/var/lib/libvirt/ which is the directory it runs off and it can’t create or edit or write new files cuz of that but I’ll let you know if that works
