Read only icons
Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has seen this problem yet. I have searched and googles but noting found yet.
I was setting up Fedora core 2, I was mounting 2 ntfs partitions and setting up my fstab. well all went well so I thought. When I log out and back in all my desktop icons have the little read only symbol on them. (the little pencil in a ban sign) no matter what I try o can't get rid of this. Has anyone seen this before? If so just point me in the right direction please. I tried a couple things, I even deleted the user and re added but still there. I would be really greatful for any assistance Thanks, Jason -aka- Crane |
Open a terminal window...su...then type ur root password....and then type in konqueror....go to /home....right click on ur home folder...go to the permissions tab and at the bottom u will see apply changes to subfolders and all files...or something like that click that make sure your name is under owner and then click ok, that should fix it

Thanks for the help. I am about to go out of town working but I will give it a try when I get home. It should be this weekend so I'll post an update.
Thanks again. |

I created a new user and it did not have this problem, so I backed up files and deleted user jason (thats the one with the problems.) Then created new user jason and still had same probs. Next I deleted user and deleted all temp files. Created new user jason and all is well. I don'rt know what I did but it's fixed now. I was messing with fstab setting but I don't see how that caused the problem. Oh well, thanks again for the advice, Linux and it's users rock!!! |
