So I'm setting up the dev machine for work and have most of it done after a day or two of work and I'm trying to get the source control working and changing file permissions and accidentally miss the . in a chown -R user:group ./*
So I ended up executing:
chown -R user:group /*
Big oops, and I tried to ctrl-c as soon as I saw it but it was too late. I think I'm going to have to reinstall and start all over. Ugh.
