Thanks.. I’ve followed along. But when I go to sudo chown max:max /media/dvr I get a list of all the files on the drive with operation not permitted. Any thoughts

When o do /media/dvr$ ls
I get the following:
Database. Images imports logs movies streaming tv
I’m able to do nano test and sudo nano test write and remove.
I’m just unable to change ownership

Im not sure honestly. I had to chatgpt this one as it has be stumped

I think I just found the problem. I’m trying to take ownership of an expat drive and I just read where that is an operation that’s not permitted that way.

Since my Windows 10 machine has become increasingly problematic, not to mention support is ending later this year, I decided to consider Linux and found this thread helpful.

I did run into an issue installing Ubuntu Server on that machine as it would hang on the language selection screen. I tried many fixes, but it appears related to the graphics card so I ended up installing Ubuntu Server on a similar but different machine with onboard video.

I've got it mostly configured how I want it short of moving a few drives around and it's running great.
