550 Could not change perms on languages: Bad file descriptor

I get this when attempting to change permissions of any folder or even upload anything. The one folder was already 755 for example.

I ran a few things without resolution

/scripts/fixvaliases
/scripts/fixhome
/scripts/fixwwwdir
/scripts/fixcommonproblems

The public_html is on 755 as well.


Any suggestions? Amazingly only two other threads on this, but outdated or invalid.

I believe this fixed it

chown -R user:user public_html

I usually get that when the chown permissions are different. eg trying to change a file owned by root when im logged in as a user.
