file manager opening /home, Network or My Computer
« on: August 11, 2012, 06:53:03 PM »
Hi all!
I just installed mini-zen on sda7 / and used a previous /home partition on sda6. When I go into Places and try to open  Network firefox opens telling me that:
Quote
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (network) isn't associated with any program.

If I try to open Home folder then I get the message;
Quote
Could not open location 'file:///home/rejean'
Failed to execute child process "wine" (No such file or directory)

How can this be corrected? I tried left-clicking, right-clicking nothing works.

Hi rejean,

"used a previous /home partition"

The User id on your old /home/rejean directory will not match your new user id on your new setup, machines think in numbers rather than names.

Fix is easy:

konsole > su root :

#chown -R rejean:rejean /home/rejean

That will switch user and group permissions to the real user id of user rejean.


Firefox issue, not sure, see if the above fixes it.
