benputland Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hi all, As a newbie to both linux and osx I'm trying to get my head around things. The problem I keep getting when trying to install a new kext, specificly install ZD1215Mac.kext to run with a Belkin usb wireless device (7050), I get a operation not permitted when entering the command 'chown -R root:wheel ZD1215Mac.kext'. Can anyone explain why this is and how I get the command to work. Any help would be most appreciated. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errandwolfe Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 You need to make sure you perform that operation as root. You can do this by first using the command "sudo -s" you will then be prompted for your administrator password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizou Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 sudo chown -R root:wheel ZD1215Mac.kext should do it Just typ in the pw (it doesn't show up) and click enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
