When I build using brokenman script and then try to upload it to MediaFire I have change the permissions. I'm building it in guest but in a Terminal here is what I am doing.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ su
Password:
root@porteus:/home/guest# update-firefox
After it is built I type md5sum firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1 .xzm then I try and move firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1.xzm to MediaFire but I found out it won't let me. The permission is not set right there is a padlock on firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1.xzm. The only way I can remove it is log out of guest and log in as root and change it and then log back in to guest and upload the file. Now here is the question can all of this be done in guest if yes how?

Do
Code: Select all
ls -lh firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1 .xzm
sudo chmod a+r firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1 .xzm
If this does not work, do
Code: Select all
sudo chmod a+rw firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1 .xzm
and post output here.

root@porteus:/home/guest/Downloads# ls -lh firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1 .xzm
/bin/ls: cannot access 'firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1': No such file or directory
/bin/ls: cannot access '.xzm': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access 'firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1': No such file or directory1 .xzm

Asked about firefox, but firefox not in the directory. So nothing doing until firefox put in directory. Needed in order to show how to do what you want as guest.

Those 2 files are in the same directory.

You built the module as root, so guest does not own it.

@brokenman
So you can run your scripts as guest? I just try here is the output.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ update-firefox
Only root can run this.
guest@porteus:~$
All I want to do is upload to MediaFire to share the files.

Even if it is built as root, imo it should have read permission. This would allow mediafire to copy it. That was why requested to change mode in case no read (and execute?) permission for all, and requested posting of the output.

Now I was trying to answer your question to do this as guest. I did not ask you to do the commands as root, because we are trying to do this as guest!

This shows there is only one file there.

I copied what you typed, but there was a blank in the name, but did not matter as firefox was not in the Download directory.
So if there is firefox in your current directory, then using corrected instructions:
Do
Code: Select all
ls -lh firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1.xzm
sudo chmod a+r firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1.xzm
If this does not work to upload to mediafire, do
Code: Select all
sudo chmod a+rw firefox-49.0b10-x86_64-1.xzm
and post output here.
