A slightly neater way, rather than modifying root_locale is to add a new root_opts file:
1) Create "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/root_opts" containing "export ROOTFLAGS" <----[ this is the root cause of step 2 not working alone] 2) Append "rootflags=gid=115,fmask=113,dmask=002" to the end of the "#kopt=" line in /boot/grub/menu.lst 3) Run "sudo update-initramfs -k all -u" and "sudo update-grub" -- WUBI Ubuntu 8.04, access permissions on "/host" folder cannot be changed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
