External Email - Use Caution
Dear Freesurfers, I am a Linux novice. Syntax is my major weakness. On the other hand, I have been working with Windows for over 30 years. I was able to get the VM_67 up and running. I had some prior experience using VM for a brief time in 2014 (ver5.3) so I wasn't starting completely from scratch. I figured out how to share with my host (Win 10) and have one of my own test images in my sf-shared folder (I also copied it to the Desktop). I can navigate to /usr/local/... /subjects and I made a directory in "/subjects/" (realized I needed "sudo mkdir, but then I was successful). However, after having done that, it occurred to me that that wasn't the right thing to do anyway. When I tried using the folder GUIs to drag/drop/copy the image into the test folder (old Windows habit), it simply rejected the action. I'm assuming this is a permissions issue (everything in FS is "root" and everything in the VM is "developer'), but I am very spooked about using some type of chmod statement here. If that's the only way to resolve this, would you be able to share some guidance and sample syntax to allow me to import the test image using the GUI? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. This may also help others who need to do the same if I/we can resolve this (i.e., search archives). -Randy
