Dualboot shared drive help
Hello all. I have attempted to follow a guide from here for dual boot and btrfs shared drive between windows and bazzite. All works apart from on bazzite steam says it does not have permission to download. I can transfer files to the drive from bazzite and download anything that isn't through steam but this last step just won't work. Any help will be appreciated. I am also very new to Linux so please be gentle

I would prefer to be able to download from both because the windows btrfs driver is very prone to crashing
follow this correctly, as you have messed up the registry entries that set the correct permissions, once thats done you need to
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER the whole shared drive to fix the files you broke by not setting the windows permissions correctly and rebooting once setting them.

That's the one I followed. I'll retry the steps. Guarantee i didn't rebot where I should have somewhere. I'll try soon. Thanks for the help
We have had people before that "followed" it and filled in 1000 then clicked decimal instead of the other way around
Those will create wildly different permissions
Guide says to make it decimal? All entry's are 1000
Yes switch to decimal first then type 1000
It will then be converted to the right hex value
I had that part correct
Then you just might have missed the reboot after all the registry stuff
As the changes do not take effect until you reboot
Make a file on the shared drive and check it's permissions in bazzite afterwards to verify
In windows or bazzite?
If the permissions are good just chown all the files on the shared drive to be owned by you
Make the file on the shared drive in windows, you know the os that caused the problematic permissions?
Ok
Then verify the permissions on that file is correct by rebooting to bazzite and checking it
With
ls -la
Is that good?
Oh wait. Missed the mount point settings there.
If i change that now what damage will it cause?
just show the file that you created in windows
if it has
bazzite bazzite its good as it will be owned by your user then
then all you need to do is go to the root of that mount point and run sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./ to fix the whole drive
which would be /run/media/bazzite/d5d7whatever
