Hi, I'm the only user on this machine, so I wanted to change the permissions of ~/wallpapers/shared so I didn't have to go root to add wallpapers.
So I chmod 666 ~/wallpapers/shared
Now I'm getting permissions issues, and it seems I may should have chown'd it.
What I want to do is return ~/wallpapers/shared to default permissions. But I'm not sure what they would be. I'm not so bothered about having to be root, I just want nitrogen to stop getting permission issues.
I realise that ~/wallpapers/shared is a symlink to usr/images or whatever, so not sure what that has to do with it.
Really easy stuff, I just can't get my head round it. Can someone give me the correct method?
Thanks.

Can't you just add wallpapers to the wallpapers directory (parent of shared)? Nitrogen should pick it up I remember.
To create a new symlink
ln -s /usr/shared/path/to/backgrounds /home/user/images/wallpapers/system_wallpapers
Also, good to use full paths...
teh chown method (but I don't think you need to do any of this for your purpose)
chown user:group /path/to/something

We're lucky for such choices. Touched Win7 today for the first time. My girlfriend couldn't figure out how to change her wallpaper; then I couldn't figure it out. Well apparently win 7 starter edition doesn't have that "feature". Yeah, more like a dirty registry hack, blocking any wallpaper that doesn't match the default wim7 logos hash... wtf
