Hi, I can confirm a more general problem. This does not work even as a normal user: 1) mkdir -p Desktop/a/b/c/d/e 2) right-click a -> Permissions 3) set Others -> Folder access to "Create and delete files" 4) set Group to "video" 5) hit "Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files" Expected results: 5) group of all folders is set to "video" Actual results: 5) $ find Desktop/a -printf "%u %g %M %p\n" lindi video drwxr-xrwx Desktop/a lindi lindi drwxr-xrwx Desktop/a/b lindi lindi drwxr-xrwx Desktop/a/b/c lindi lindi drwxr-xrwx Desktop/a/b/c/d lindi lindi drwxr-xrwx Desktop/a/b/c/d/e More info: 1) This is upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371025 2) strace shows that nautilus indeed only calls chmod() and does not even attempt chown(): 15605 chmod("/home/lindi/Desktop/a/b", 040757) = 0 15605 chmod("/home/lindi/Desktop/a/b/c", 040757) = 0 15605 chmod("/home/lindi/Desktop/a/b/c/d", 040757) = 0 15605 chmod("/home/lindi/Desktop/a/b/c/d/e", 040757) = 0 -Timo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
