[AuckLUG] `libgl1-mesa-dri': Permission denied

[Cheng Eu Chew]

I thought as much, just wasn't sure if I was right or not.

In either case, here is the result:

cheng at renedox:~$ su -
Password:
root at renedox:~# fsck
fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
reiserfsck 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com)

Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/hda1
Will put log info to 'stdout'

Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes

Partition /dev/hda1 is mounted with write permissions, cannot check it

So... even root can't write to that partition? How can that be? I get
the same thing when I try sudo.

Yes, I'm using Ubuntu.
