About Ubuntu's root permissions
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.
permissions root 18.10
