Vivaldi unable to access directory: Permission denied

[szept]

I've put my wallpapers in /files/media/images/Tapety/ and when I try to access it via Vivaldi (e.g. attach one of images to email or onto imageuploaders websites) I get the following error:

Any ideas how to fix it? Give some right to that folder or something else?

Update to 5.4 and see if that fixes it.

Hi:

This happened to me sometime ago, and the problem was that vivaldi can't recongnice this folder (a problem with the location of vivaldi, using it as portable or with root rights). I don't know what of these situations can happen to your system, but it could be the folders name (I don't know why...hahaha) so my recomendation: If there is no need to mantein this folder and name, try to use/ create another one and let's see what happen then ( a new one in other partition, in other part of the disk, at another one,.....)

The ideal location: Go to vivaldi instalation folder and place it there, jajaja... I think it could find its own installation folder, jajajja

Hope it helps.

CHEERS.

Yeah, it is a problem with folder permissions.
If you had the images in /files/media/images, then they can probably be opened.
Or, if you run this, it should fix 'Tapety' folder:

Code: Select all

# chown -R vivaldi:vivaldi /files/media/images/Tapety

...but if you update to 5.4 then it should be fixed automatically, you don't have to do the above.

Nope, not working on 5.4 as well.

Hi @szept , it is possible you think this is a stupid answer, jeje, and I must agree with you , but sometimes we forget the easier solutions.

It is possible you changed the privileges of this file.- So go to this folder, right click on it and take a look at permissions, only to see if there is an incorrect option (Nobody can read or something similar).

As I told you at the beginning, it could be a silly answer, but... who know what will happen..haha?

It is only a suggestion.- have a nice day.

OK. Did you do the chown operation? That should fix it.

I think that if you had created the folder in a running 5.4 it would be ok.

Nope, that didn't work either.

(...) If there is no need to mantain this folder and name, try to use/ create another one and let's see what happen then.

Ok, so I created a new folder in the same place and I copied my images into it - that worked, thanks guys!
