Your hostname is "fedora"? Um. Skipping that for now.... Yes, chown would work, although chgrp would be the more "natural" pick. Either chown 0:0 / or chgrp 0 / While you're poking around in there, the permissions are also different from what one would normally expect on Debian. chmod 755 / Then again, if this isn't actually a Debian host, the 555 permissions on the root directory might be normal.
