Dubious Ownership issue with brand-new computer.

[nothingness6]

I've been using SM on my external SSD with my laptop until today and bought a new desktop now. I connected the external SSD to the new desktop and launched SM, and faced this error:

I guess it's because of the ownership. How do I use it on both laptop and desktop without the permission issue?

I asked ChatGPT and it gave me an answer. git config --global --add safe.directory M:/AI_Tools/StabilityMatrix-win-x64/Data/Packages/stable-diffusion-webui It said that the above command will help. The ownership error still remains, and this is the new error message.

ChatGPT isn't helpful this time. Nothing works except Fooocus on my brand-new desktop. ComfyUI also shows only blank screen.

Try changing the ownership of the repository (and the rest of the stable diffusion webui files/directories) to your current user account. Open an administrative command prompt and navigate to the parent directory of the repository (M:/AI_Tools/StabilityMatrix-win-x64/Data/Packages/stable-diffusion-webui). Then, run the following command to take ownership of the stable-diffusion-webui directory and its contents: (edited to correct path name)

takeown /f . /r /d y

After taking ownership, reset the permissions with the following command:

icacls . /reset /t /c /l /q

Hi, thanks for the reply. Does it change the ownership completely? I should work with two computers and if it doesn't work with my laptop, I should do the process again. Is it correct?

takedown is a windows command-line utility that allows you to take ownership of files and directories.

takeown /f . /r /d y

• the /f switch specifies the file or folder you want to take ownership of
• the . represents the current working directory you are running the cmd from
• the /r switch is for recursive processing, which means taking ownership of all subfolders and files in the specified dir.
• the /d y suppresses the confirmation prompt when the user does not have the List Folder permission on a specified directory, and instead uses the specified default value. The y simply means y (as in yes, take ownsership) rather than you having to acept it manually for each file. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/takeown

icacls is used to reset the security permissions for the current directory and all its subdirectories, files, and subfolders recursively. The switches provided replace the ACLs ( Access Control List ) with default inherited ACLs for all matching files.)

icacls . /reset /t /c /l /q

• the . same as before, CWD
• /reset This flag resets the ACL for the specified files or directories to the default inherited ACL from the parent directory. You changed the parent directory with the takeover cmd
• /t Performs the operation on all specified files in the current directory and its subdirectories.
• /c Continues the operation despite any file errors. Error messages will still be displayed.
• /l Performs the operation on a symbolic link instead of its destination.
• /q Suppresses success messages.

Hope that helps clear it up? Feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

I made a mistake in that line it should instead have read:

I corrected the original post but wanted to clarify in case I had mislead you or confused you with that.
