Issues with folder permissions and file manager #10

Open Lucaacer opened 3 years ago

Lucaacer commented 3 years ago

Yesterday I tried your solution and it's very brilliant.

About one year ago I had compiled sommellier myself and used it with crouton, but your scripts make everything much easier.

Just one issue, I can neither save any file from the container to the Downloads folder, nor save any file from the Downloads folder to the container (Documents folder). For example, I can't move or save a file from /home to /home/Documents.

I mounted google and dropbox via rclone, which is something I usually do in linux, and I can't even copy a remote file and save it in Documents. Even moving a remote file from a remote folder to another doesn't work.

My scripts for rclone are not wrong, because they're the same I use in gnu Linux and in crostini as well.

There's something that prevents me from writing everything which does not come from Documents. I even tried to mount the Dropbox folder inside Documents (I made a subfolder inside it) and it still does not work.

This issue happens with libreoffice as well and with any file manager I have eventually installed and tested.

It's a weird issue, if you have some spare time, please have a look at it.

Btw, those things do work if I use the terminal app and without sudo.

Update: files 3.36.3-stable is able to write files inside the container and inside the remote folders I mounted with rclone, while the other file managers I used can't do it.

Still it can't save files in Downloads.

Neither gedit, nor libreoffice can open files in Downloads.

I thought I had fixed this at some point, which distro do you use ?

Lucaacer commented 3 years ago

Ubuntu, I also installed lxde and sometimes I start just openbox, but the issue is still the same and it doesn't depend on the desktop which I am using.

Thanks.
