Hello everyone, I use EndevaourOS Xfce, I want to copy new fonts for LibreOffice, but I can’t do it, because my user doesn’t have administrator privileges.
Could someone tell me an easy way to solve it?
I just want the privileges to copy fonts, wallpapers, etc.
Thank you very much.
In general, you don’t give your user account rights to write to system locations, you use something like sudo to execute the command.
However, in your examples, you are probably doing something you shouldn’t be. Instead of copying fonts/wallpapers/etc to system locations like /usr there is usually a secondary location in your home directory where you would place those files that you do have rights to.
For example, I believe fonts can be placed in ~/.fonts~/.local/share/fonts
Wallpapers can typically be placed anywhere.
