Yes, that's a permission problem, just do a chown -R mike /home/mike as root. cheers... Frank On Saturday 13 August 2005 11:43, Mike Roy wrote:

Hello everyone: Well, seems there's trouble right here in River City :-( I was planning to do a fresh install on my AMD 64 / SuSE 9.3 desktop machine and decided to save my '/home/mike' directory on a separate hard drive (which I did). I then performed a basic install and then copied the 'saved' /home/mike directory to replace the /home/mike directory created during the install. Not sure what I did or didn't do but when I tried to open the files or use the devices, I kept getting KDE error messages (will not save configuration). I have now done anohter clean install but, if possible, would like to use the 'saved' /home/mike directory. Not sure if this is a permissions problem or what. The old directory is still on the separate hard drive so I do have access to it. During the last corrputed install, I was able to save important working files to my laptop so all is not lost. It would be nice if I could salvage my earlier settings, etc., as this would save me a lot of grief. Any ideas. I did offer Tux a sacrifice of dandylions and some dead bugs - not sure if this will help ;-) Cheers, Mike
