So I’ve messed up by not formatting my partitions on installation and now things are buggy, dbus returns permission denied on starting is one of the prominent bugs at the moment
Just do the installation again…fixing the permissions maybe easy or extremely hard, depending on how far the problems go. And I don’t think you will learn much besides of how the chown command works.
It was only the root of the partitions that I messed up, and I guess the bugs were caused because the Mint live boot only gave the user read permissions (no group or others can read) so I believe shit is fine, plus it’s a fresh installation so there’s that too
I’m surprised it booted lol
Good on you for getting it fixed. One of the reasons Linux is a great OS in my opinion is that everything is in the file system and not in some arcane hidden thing. So every problem is solvable without a reinstall if you’re motivated enough to figure it out.
