highc Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi, I have a successful installation of the Deadmoo image accept one problem; I don't have any write access. All the files are "read only" I've tried to change permissions but doesn't help. For example I tried to modify the com.apple.Boot.plist but have no write permissions for this file. What can I do to get write access? HighC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/812-no-write-access/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelogic Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Same problem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try repairing permissions through disk utlity. When I ran it, it repaired nearly every freaking folder on the drive, there was a LOT of wrong permissions.

highc Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Problem solved: start as single user mode (-s). enter following commands: /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / mv /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb /var/db/netinfo/local.old rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone sh /etc/rc at new reboot go through the setup, after log in go to the netinfo manager(utillities) In the menu select security and select authenticate and enter name en password as you entered at the seup. Go back to security and choose enable root user. Enter new root password. When you log off and log in as root user you will have complete write access! Thanks to someone on this forum for this method. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/812-no-write-access/#findComment-7201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
