KDE Partition Manager create a new partition but I can't write into it

[kearney]

what happen

I use KDE Partition Manager to create a new partition. However, I have no permission to write.

steps to reproduce

I want to make a new partition(called temp on nvme0n1p6) use KDE Partition Manager and so it is. It is created successfully and it can be mounted. But when I tried to create a new file on the new partition, the color of new is grey, which means it is disable.

Then I try konsole. The result show that I do not have the privileges. I guess it is the pwd of admin when launch the KDE Partition Manager. Then I turn my user type from admin into user. Delete the partition and recreate, then do the same ting and get the same result.

xx% pwd
/run/media/kearney/temp
xx% mkdir tmp
mkdir: cannot create directory 'tmp': Permission denied
xx% ls     
lost+found
xx% sudo mkdir temp
[sudo] password for kearney: 
xx% ls
lost+found  temp

what I have done

search about solution

At first, I look into the The KDE Partition Manager Handbook but there is no answer( FAQ included). Then I tried to search KDE Partition Manager create new partition or this tittle on stackoverflow and stackexchange but got nothing.

Last month I resize the partition of manjaro from 110 to 120 GB accordind to Handbook on a LiveCD mode(cause the app can not edit the mounted partition, so I need to unmount it). And it work totally fine.

I think I can do the same thing on the LiveCD mode, but I want to find out if there is another way. And advise is appreciate

You can change the permission of the partition (folder) using the root acoount or
change /etc/fstab.

Cannot write to new partition

Hi all, I mounted a partition on a new SSD today, and when I tried to create a new Steam library on it, I got a read only error. When I navigated to it in Dolphin, I could not make new folders. The permissions seemed OK to me, ownership was user:group in Dolphin, and I disabled fast boot on Windows (there’s an NTFS partition on the drive as well). I’ve since unmounted and deleted the partition out of frustration from trying to fix it. Can you guys offer any insight into why this was happening? …

The dir should be mkdir /temp
then give yourself permission with chown -R username.username /temp

[kearney]

It is very nice of you guys to reply. I do this to give myself privilege as you guys advise.

xx% ls -g
drwx------ 2 root 16384 10月 25 20:40 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  4096 10月 25 22:12 temp
xx% sudo chmod o+w -R temp 
xx% ls -g                  
drwx------ 2 root 16384 10月 25 20:40 lost+found
drwxr-xrwx 2 root  4096 10月 25 22:12 temp
xx% pwd
/run/media/kearney/temp
xx% sudo chmod o+w -R /run/media/kearney/temp 
xx% ls -g                                    
drwx----w- 2 root 16384 10月 25 20:40 lost+found
drwxr-xrwx 2 root  4096 10月 25 22:12 temp

Now I can write anything to it. Thanks all the time.

The easiest way is to simply install kde-servicemenus-rootactions then once installed simply right click in the folder you want access to and under root actions give ownership to active user.

[kearney]

wow, that is a good thing. Its copy is installed in deeping by default. I think kde does not the same thing. Now it is just I do not know about it.

[Locutus]

It’s something that the OS devs should always include by default.
