I Received a Weird Error ... Tell Me What It Means
Asked by
taurus
The following is advice I got for establishing connection to my modem. I was told to change group ownership ttySHSF0 so that it is usable for users. The following is the code:
'su
chown root:users /dev/ttySHSF0['
However, I got this error: 'su: authentication failure'... Then, I tried and got this error:
'x@xx:~$ chown root:users /dev/ttySHSF0
chown: changing ownership of `/dev/ttySHSF0': Operation not permitted'
Why can't I log in as su? What should I do?
