On the permissions tab it says I cant make any changes because I am not the owner. So I am just wondering who owns my computer? You do not have permission, no administrator rights, unauthorised access etc.... is why I deleted windows off of my system. How can I fix this? I also see that I need to type in my password every time I install something.. Surely Linux has a fix for these problems? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but what you describe are only problems if you try to actually use your computer. They are honest to God designed in features. The Ubuntu devs consider users to be morons and arranged for them to not be able to access their system files because they might do harm to the system. I believe they call this simplification or some such. Actually, you can accomplish most, if not all, of what you need to do with sudo, but it is, at times, a PITA. </pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> </body> </html>
