I would like to know how to change permissions for all my files. I don't understand why some come with ''read'' only... I'm the only one that uses the PC, so the max permissions would be good!

I ran the command chmod go+r *

But just made everything readable only...

Help guys? I want to read, write and execute all my files.

You have read write access to all files in your home directory.

To access system files use sudo/gksu (gksu is for graphical applications such as your file browser and editor).

See:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions

Changing the permission of files outside your home directory will almost certainly break your system.
