All > the home dirs in this machine have root ownerships. Probably mistaken, but if it's a windows partition, you can't change the permissions. Otherwise: chown -RV gean: /home/gean should work? If it's a Linux NTFS, then maybe that file system doesn't allow any permission changes? I've never used NTFS other than on a windows system preferring ext3 for Debian. Sorry, can't assist any more than that.
