I am trying to change files so my user owns them, instead of root. I've searched this forum. I am getting the same error several hundred times for each command.
This syntax
sudo chown -v -R rpiggott:rpiggott /media/rpiggott/782f830c-c965-4960-8ed2-f8433bfaf8ce/Laptop/PhpstormProjects
is giving me this error message:
chown: changing ownership of '/media/rpiggott/782f830c-c965-4960-8ed2-f8433bfaf8ce/Laptop/PhpstormProjects': Read-only file system
This syntax
sudo find /media/rpiggott/782f830c-c965-4960-8ed2-f8433bfaf8ce/Laptop/PhpstormProjects -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
is giving me this error message:
chmod: changing permissions of '/media/rpiggott/782f830c-c965-4960-8ed2-f8433bfaf8ce/Laptop/PhpstormProjects/mypainmanagementtracker.net/public/layout': Read-only file system
I've also tried the approach of remount
sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,gid=1000,rw /dev/sdb1
Which produces the error message
mount: /media/rpiggott/782f830c-c965-4960-8ed2-f8433bfaf8ce not mounted or bad option
The command
sudo parted -l
Gives the result
