Hey Paul. Happy New Year!Creating and removing files are dependent upon directory permissions, not file permissions, as you are modifying the contents of the directory.Hope this helps!Dan -------- Original message --------From: Paul Boniol <[email protected]> Date: 1/5/21 17:35 (GMT-06:00) To: NLUG <[email protected]> Subject: [nlug] Odd rm Experience I listened to an mp3 (recorded from the earlier adventure in automatically running VLC). Close VLC.I went to delete the file in Thunar file manager, and the delete and trash options were grayed out for the file. So I went to the command line, cd'd to the directory.ls -lh filename-rw-rw-r-- 1 paul paul 220M (etc.)rm filenamerm: cannot remove 'filename': Permission deniedI was immediately able to sudo rm the file. My first thought was somehow I didn't have write permission, but I'm logged in as the file owner, and it obviously says I have user and group write permission.Any thoughts on what could cause this? (That file is gone now, so I can't do any other prodding, and I'm not ready to delete another from the directory yet.)Paul
