Several folder is locked

[Willy Hamra]

Constantinos Maltezos , there is a GUI way, you need to remember that
you used sudo in order to chmod, you will need to kdesu konqueror, and
now you can right-click the file or folder you want, click properties,
go to the permissions tab, and there you are! change them from there.
but really, CLI is proving to be a lot simpler :P
