Question
I am using EclipsePHP in Ubuntu 10.10 and try to use Mercurial (HG) to work with a repository that's located on my network-connected staging server (samba share).
When trying to refresh the repository from within Eclipse (hg status
really) , I get the following error thrown in my face: abort: Operation not permitted: /media/sharename/myrepository/.hg/.dirstate*
.
Whilst trying to find out what's wrong, I went to the network share from terminal and wrote hg status
- the same error occurs, so it's not only occuring from within Eclipse. I tested to CHMOD the files from both my computer as well as the server - chmod 777 /media/sharename/myrepository/ -R
- nothing changes.
But when I accidentally ran sudo hg status
from the repo directory, Mercurial started the fireworks and worked like a charm.
What on earth is going wrong with my computer? Why can't i run my hg
commands without being root?
No correct solution
