File permissions in 31-fixes
Hello,
The permissions were all mythtv:mythtv in 29-fixes, but I'm seeing logging
that suggests different permissions are required for 31.

Some of my folders now have the permissions avahi:colord. Is this what all
my folder permissions should be now?

Thanks in advance.

Are alle the foldes/files with those "changed" ownership from your old
pre-update machine?
If so avahi:colord now have the gid:uid that where assigned to
mythtv:mythtv on your old installation and mythtv:mythtv now have
other gid:uid and those are the relevant values. The names are just
for the human interface.
so change to your mythtv datadirectory and run:

sudo chown -R mythtv.mythtv *

on your mythtv datadirectory and and all ownerships are reverted to
the new gid:uid.

Be careful to NOT run this command in the wrong directory!!! or you
could break your whole system!!!
