For the basic [or infuriating] linux details I constantly find myself needing.
change file permissions
the octal goes like this: [user][group][others] the user is the owner of the file. Is there a way to have multiple owners and multiple groups?
You are setting bits using hexadecimals for three octals. Each one works the same way. Each bit of the octal represents a permission
that you can have, like read, write or execute. It's easier just to use the letter designations for these
like I did in the example below.
use ls -l [filename]
to see what permissions there are already.
chmod u+rwx file.txt
search for files by file name.
example: find ./ -name "fishguy*"
when copying fails, delete the files in the Downloads folder using find and then download the latest version following the instructions on this page: https://makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224
