Folders in dolphin are locked

General system Newbie

Hi Everyone,
Wishing for everyone that 2025 is a great year

I just moved my desktop from Debian to Endeavour after trying out the Asus laptop with Endeavour for a month. I am so far impressed.

I have tried to drag and drop a ppd file in the specified CUPS folder and I have seen that there is a padlock symbol on the filepath.

I have also noticed that the owner (root) can view and modify content only, when clicking on endeavouros (and right-click) on the left section of Dolphin.

Can you advise on how I can fix this issue please.

Thank you in advance,
Michael

Welcome to the community @EuroNiceguy :wave: :sunglasses: :enos_flag:

The command line solution is to use sudo to execute the copy command. Something like:

sudo cp sourcefile.ppd /destinationfolder/

You can also select Act as Administrator in dolphins View menu to get root permissions in case you prefer a gui method.
