No permission for internal Hard Drive

Are the PDFs stored on an NTFS partition?

What is the output of:

sudo fdisk -l; lsb_release -a; u name -a; mount

Thanks

Output of

sudo fdisk -l; lsb_release -a; u name -a; mount

The hard disk was ok with Ubuntu. I then removed it from the laptop (so
as not to corrupt it) and loaded
windows and re-installed ubuntu on the ssd. Would re-installing Ubuntu
give user back permission?
thanks

Whatever I plug into the laptop...usb stick, sd card or external hard drive always shows up as belonging to root.
can not do a thing at this point.
.

Will a new install correct the problem?

Properties of extra hard drive with just my files No system files.
I need to change to me...NOT Root.
Thank you.

What is the other partition where you want to access files but cannot?

Please provide also the output of

uname -a
sudo lsblk

Hello... Good morning

This is a laptop with an internal 250GB SolidStateDrive (/dev/sdb1) and
a 2.5" internal
"extra drive 1" 1T hard drive (/dev/sda1)
Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu 14.04 are installed on the 250GB ssd. They both
work fine.
The 1T (which only has my files-no system files) suddenly (after the
dual boot process it seems)
belongs to "Root". I *can* access all my files however when I try to
open a pdf file
it says "no permission". Under properties it says I am not the owner.
Also now when I plug in any usb device it seems to belong to "Root".
Very annoying.

*My question: How can I change root permission on the "extra drive 1"?*

*Since the 1T drive is backed up would it be easier to wipe it and
re-install Ubuntu 14.04*

*Will that correct the permission problem...?
*

Thank you for your help.

what command do you use to mount the second hard disk?
Do you have an entry for it in the /etc/fstab file?

The second hard disk shows up in Nautilus and I just use it from there...

Adding attachments does not work for Launchpad questions.

Is it formatted as NTSF?

What is the output of
sudo blkid

You might try creating an fstab entry for automatic mounting as shown in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions

administrator@administrator-Galago-UltraPro:~$ sudo blkid

Ok, it is not ntfs-formatted, but ext4. So the instructions for mounting a Windows partition are not applicable here.

What is the output of
whoami

and what is the ownership information on one of the pdf files that you want to open (and can't)?

administrator@administrator-Galago-UltraPro:~$ sudo whoami

Not

but just plain

and also the output of

please. And the access control settings of one of the files please.

If you start nautilus, access the extra hard disk and right click on one of the pdf files that you cannot open as desired, what to you see as file owner, group, etc.?

Owner Me. Group Administrator
read write.(pic attached)
But it doesn't open.(pic attached).
When I right click on the extra drive it belongs to root for some
reason(pic attached).
However the properties of "home" is me. Extra used to be the same?

As already written above: It does not help if you try attaching screenshots to your e-mail. They are discarded by the Launchpad system, and we cannot see them.

You have either to use copy/paste of the text on screen, or you can upload an image to some image hosting service and past the link to that picture in your message.

Maybe the output of the command

ls -la /mnt/*

helps us understanding the details of your access rights settings.

administrator@administrator-Galago-UltraPro:~$ ls -la /mnt/

drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Jan 3 11:13 ..

Were you able to view the attached pics...?

link to screen shots:
shot 1 = permission of file I can not open;
shot 2= permissio of the extra drive root(I want to change);
shot 3 = permission of Home drive (extra dive should be the same);
shot 4 = result of trying to open file (if I move it to "Home" it opens
but not in extra drive)

Apparently you can open the pdf file that gave the error message in the screen shot.
Sorry, but I have no idea why you got that error with document viewer.

If you re-try opening it from within nautilus, do you still receive that error message?

I can open it in "home" but get the error message when I try to open it
in "extra drive"

Should the permissions be the same in both Home and extra drive...?

Why is Extra Drive now owned by Root...?

Would a re-install of Ubuntu correct this...?

Sorry, but what you see is contradictory.
With the head command you were able to open the file, but with document viewer you can't?
Sorry, but this is beyond my understanding.

For the ownership of the device:

What is the output of the commands

ls -ld /media/
ls -ld /media/administrator/
ls -ld /media/administrator/Extra\ Drive\ 1/
ls -l /media/administrator/Extra\ Drive\ 1/Quote

I do not expect that a reinstallation of Ubuntu will change anything with your problem.

ok... I'll send that output when I get home. Meanwhile IF I WIPE the extra driveclean and reinstall Ubuntu will this annoying root permission go away in that drive...?thanks for all your help.

Try the terminal command

sudo chown administrator:administrator /media/administrator

then try accessing the extra disk from nautilus as before.
and then re-issue the ls commands from my previous comment.

Now try unmounting the extra disk in Nautilus (by pressing the small triangle-rectangle button beside its entry on the left hand side).
Then try accessing the files on the extra disk again.

Please provide the output of the following commands once more:

ls -ld /media/
ls -ld /media/administrator/
ls -ld /media/administrator/Extra\ Drive\ 1/
ls -l /media/administrator/Extra\ Drive\ 1/Quote
mount

The properties of Extra Drive are Still "Root" IF and Until that changes
I don't see any progress.
Can the permissions be changed on Extra Drive from Root to Me
(like on Home Drive...?

You can try changing the ownership of the extra drive by issuing a command like

sudo chown administrator:administrator /media/administrator/Extra\ Drive\ 1/

This is what I got:

administrator@administrator-Galago-UltraPro:~$ sudo chown
administrator:administrator /media/administrator/Extra\
 > Drive\ 1/
[sudo] password for administrator:
chown: cannot access ‘/media/administrator/ExtraDrive 1/’: No such file
or directory
administrator@administrator-Galago-UltraPro:~$

Maybe it is better to switch from automounting (the extra drive is mounted automatically when accessed the first time) to permanent mounting with an entry in /etc/fstab.
