Permissions Trying to Copy to File System [Success!!]

Post by jdupuis »

Hi Zeno,

Trying to copy folder from CF Card to File System>libs/modules. No Permission Access Denied! So since I have no Super User Terminal, How do I get the 4.1.20 A-EON X1000 Nemo folder copied over successfully? Please bear with the New Guy to Ubuntu Remix questions.
Is there a Super User Terminal that can be installed from Software Centre? My Log-In password is obviously not enough.

Cheers!

John

I do run ubuntu, but I believe the file manager is called nautilus.

You can try in a terminal. sudo nautilus

If that is not the name of the file manager then open the file manager and select Help > About in the top menu.

If the CFcard is not listed look in the /media directory.

Also, you can open a terminal and type. man cp to get a manual page for using the copy command. Don't forget the sudo part and your password.

sudo cp /media/cfcard/folder/folder /destination/directory. Something like that.

Thanks,
As you can tell I'm not very good with Terminal Command Line. Been spoiled by GUI Linux Distros in the past. Hopefully this should get me on path. If not, I'll ask.

Is it necessary to copy new Kernel Modules over to libs/modules for functionality?

Cheers!!

Thanks Mechanic,

sudo nautilus did the trick! Copied Long-Term: 4.1.20_A-EON_AmigaONE_X1000_Nemo folder to lib/modules and copied the kernal, patch, etc files to File System/Boot. This is awesome for me. I've got the Linux Bible book I bought several years ago when I was dabbling with OpenSuSe, Fedora and Mint on an old PC. This gives me motivation to break it out and get a little more practice with Terminal.
....and I can see why you don't want to go playing around in System Files. There is no second chance for Oops! ;)

Thank you, again! Cheers!
