About Ubuntu's root permissions
What if I accidentally run command “chmod -R” on system directories (/, /etc, …)What are the standard file permissions for the /etc directory(file)Cannot use sudo command, changed permission of /usr folderFile permissions won't changeSystem boots in console + login loop (wrong root and home filesystem permissions)Ubuntu no longer prompts for root privilege (but doesn't give it either)“gedit” does not launch as root: “CRITICAL: file log.c …”-error (no gksu problem!)Recovering from chown -R / … update-manager not working and throwing errorsWindows XP left permissions issueFix Broken File Permissions On Ubuntu ServerMake files writable with default permissions in Ubuntu 16.04
Well knowingly, I messed with the permissions of '/'. I gave all the permissions to '/' and that too using -R. This is now causing various problems like RSA keys were not working, sudo was not working. Moreover, now every command demands run as root or suid. Can I do something so that I could restore default permissions to Ubuntu? Thanks, in advance.
