I think a consistent approach to fixing the problem would be more helpful.

Is that ran in guest or root? And do I need to reboot?
chown -R guest:users /home/guest
root
you need to do it to your extracted module
Code: Select all
#chown -R guest:users /path/to/yourextractedmodule/home/guest
it's quite simple really
i happened to use mloop to check the module file ownerships, nothing more since (i think) mloop is read only,
sorry for not explaining every single detail

(i think) mloop is read only,
Confirmed.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ ls /mnt/loop/var/usm/local
libs.txt
guest@porteus:~$ rm /mnt/loop/var/usm/local/*
rm: cannot remove '/mnt/loop/var/usm/local/libs.txt': Read-only file system
guest@porteus:~$

mloop is just a script to ease mounting of file systems. It's the file system that is read-only as is reported in the above output.
Code: Select all
mount -o loop /path/to/module.xzm /mnt/loop
mount -o loop /path/to/savefile.dat /mnt/loop
You will get two different results with the above commands. One writable and one not. If you want to edit a module then unpack it.
