Igloo Question?
« on: January 03, 2010, 01:21:02 PM »
Logged in as Root...
User files stored at /home

Click on My Computer
Igloo icon is labeled Users Files - I think this should point to the /home folder
However clicking on igloo opens /root in Konqueror

How can I point the igloo icon to the /home folder?

My Computer
Igloo Icon (user folders) - Rt Click-Properties - location (its greyed out - I can't change it from "/" to "/home"

Am I trying to do something stupid? Tried to create new shortcut to the /home folder then I could just delete the Igloo icon - But will not let me add a shortcut to a URL (/home) in the system:/ folder. Weird?

Thanks in advance!

gogy, do you have permission to change the icon properties?  It sounds like you don't.

When you 'Rt Click-Properties' click on the second tab from the left, "Permissions", to see who the icon belongs to.  You may need to change this as root.

How did this come about anyway?  Did it use to work OK?

Questions, questions.   ;D

Thanks for the response, Andy

Well, I was logged in as root,
Rt Click on Igloo
Properties
There is no second tab - Only one labeled "General"
There is a little wrench - If you click it is where it shows the greyed out location "/"

So.. in short
No permissions to check
And I am absolutely logged in as root

This came about because I had a bunch of crfazy stuff happening in two user accounts, so I did a full upgrade to PCLOS2009

Yep it was working in PCLOS2007
Also having trouble with wireless card in 2009 tho it was working fine in 2007

Thanks

Sorry, gg, I have no idea at this point.

Hopefully someone who does will chime in.
