newly installed piplay... permissions wrong on roms folder
  • joe2
    I just installed piplay v0.7.10 (stable?).
    After trying unsuccessfully to upload some ROMs... I took at a look at the permissions of the roms folder.
    It looks like, for some reason, that the permissions for read, write, execute are set to "root root" instead of "pi pi".
    I attempted to log in via ftp using root root... but that's not the root password apparently.
    How do I change the permissions? or what's the root password?
  • joe2
    ok... set root by using:
    "sudo passwd root"
    but, that doesn't let me log in via FTP... ideas?

    Type:
    chown /home/pi/pimame/roms pi
    I think that's how you change the owner to pi. (Default user)

    huh. "'/home/pi/pimame/roms' : No such file or directory"
    however, /home/pi/roms looks like it's there.
    I did have to change the owner of some of the other folders as well.
    Will these changes persist?
    Also, what's the startup of pimame from the command line? I can't find it right now...

    I forgot, 0.7.x uses a different folder structure. Yes, its just /home/pi/roms

    Thanks for correcting me roo

    Start pimame from the command line with 'exit'
