Hi all,

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
Qt Version: 5.11.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Kernel Version: 4.19.0-16-amd64
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 4 × AMD FX(tm)-4350 Quad-Core Processor
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM

Somehow, I've managed to really mess up the owner and access to a 
folder. I have tried chmod and chown to correct the problem. Both 
produced 'access denied' results. The same  goes for "rm -rf' .

The folder looks like this:

*d????????? ? ?    ?      ?            ? doc*

There is a sub-folder in doc that I can view using Dolphin. But of 
course, with the new security restrictions, I can't do anything with it. 
The sub folder is set to dr-x-------- with owner gary. Does anyone know 
how to remove these folders?

Gary R

You are probably not to blame. :))

What's its full path ?
Is it /run/user/NNN/doc, where NNN is "gary"'s user id number ?

If so, then the reason is the service xdg-document-portal from package
xdg-desktop-portal. A summary is at:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/06/msg00122.html

If "doc" appeared somwhere else, then it still might be a FUSE mount point
which was populated by some similar service. We'd have to google then.

> 'access denied'

Did you try as "gary" ? The superuser is not allowed to peek at a FUSE
mount points of other users.
It would be interesting to see whether "gary" can get the usual output
from "ls -ld doc".

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
