Rootactions in OpenMandriva Rome changes permissions in other installed OS's #2872

Closed CummingCowGirl closed 1 year ago

CummingCowGirl commented 1 year ago

openmandriva.rome-23.01-plasma.znver1:

I used Dnfdragora to install Rootactions for Dolphin. Before creating folders in /mnt/ for my secondary partitions and drives I rightclicked in /mnt/ and used Rootactions to give ownership to the active user. I then proceeded to create my folders for mounting my secondary partitions and partitions to. I then proceeded to mount the various partitions and drives to their corresponding folders in /mnt/. I tested by copying files to the desktop from my Docs partition to make sure I had proper permissions. There was no issue copying to the desktop. Shortly thereafter I rebooted and went into Arch. I had new files that I needed to file away and was promptly told I didn't have permission, so I rightclicked in /mnt/ in Arch and create was greyed out. I took ownership again in Arch using Rootactions and all was good. After moving the files I needed to I rebooted and booted into Garuda when I ran into the same issue. I fixed the issue and rebooted into OM Rome and sure enough I no long had my permissions under /mnt/. I fixed it, booted back into Garuda and as I suspected I had to fix the permissions again.

I know the issue is something with OM Rome cause with just Garuda, Arch, Manjaro this never happens. My permissions set using Rootactions stay as I have them. Garuda had this particular a good while back and has since corrected it.

This issue has been mentioned on OMA forum. There might be relevant details there:

I found the below til your fix is pushed in a new ISO cause the current ISO will still install with 1001. Please let me know if this will for me without issue. Thanks

I don't know of any fix submitted. I passed along your comments to developers at [OpenMandriva Chat(https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/team/chat). Developers would decide on a fix. Of course developers should see this bug report also, sometimes they respond right away and sometimes it takes a bit of time. Depends on how busy they are, how many other issues are happening, ect.

As far as changing the UID and/or GID I can not say, never have done this. It would be better to ask developers at OpenMandriva Chat. As far as I know this is fairly safe, especially on a new system.

I have booted a ROME iso to look around in Calamares configs to see if I can find a workaround but have not found one yet.

benbullard79 commented 1 year ago

There is a proposed workaround presented here. This workaround relates to the UID part of this. (UID 1000 vs. 1001.) I do not know about rootactions so I leave that to other folks.

Nothing to do with the rootactions servicemenu.
