I have tried several ways to do that but so far I have failed. If I
click on the icon that appears on the desktop and go to Permissions
they are greyed out. If I try in a terminal screen, using sudo and
chmod I don't get any error message but nothing changes. I can open up
my file manager as root and then I can copy and paste of course, but
that is not a good idea.

Baffled still,
