can't get in /home/$user
Hey there
I'm having some kind of problem :
the last two times I shut down my computer (from Linux), it went through all the shutting down process, turned off the monitor, but the box stayed on, so that I had to switch it off manually.
Now, when I open my Personal files (with Konqueror), it doesn't show anything, neither directories nor files.
If I try to get in with the File Manager (which is basically the same as opening my Personal Files), it doesn't show anything either.
If I open a console, I find myself in my personal directory, but ls hangs up. However I can cd in any subdirectory and ls it.
Some applications (or menu entries) don't work (ie Documentation>Howtos)
On shutting down, when unmounting the filesystems, I have an error message :
umount2 : unmounting /home [FAILED]
can't umount /home : device or resource busy
some other devices (/dev/pts among others) give the same output.
Is it bad ? Can I fix it ? How ?
I'm using Mandrake 9 with kernel 2.4.16-mdk
I installed overnet (in /usr/share/overnet, with all the permissions enabled, so that any user can use it) and the ed2k-gui recently : could it be related ?
Thanks for your help
