Hi.

How do I see dotted directories and files in K3B on SuSE 9.2 ?

Right-click, View-> Show Hidden files

Hi again. Now I think I have some permission problems. Would you please have a look at: http://www.urbakken.dk/k3b.png and http://www.urbakken.dk/k3b2.png What can I do now ? Erik

do an "ls -lh" of the files k3b is complaining about and post the results so we can compare.

Wait a minute. I'm not on a SUSE box right now, so I can check all of them, but some of those files you aren't supposed to have access to as a normal user - /etc/shadow, for example... hansdp@twoflower:~$ ls -lh /etc/shadow -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 794 2005-04-18 19:36 /etc/shadow (this is on a debian box, but it should be the same on SUSE) -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

do an "ls -lh" of the files k3b is complaining about and post the results so we can compare.

If you are trying to do a system wide backup it must be done as the root user. Either login as root or do a sux and then start k3b.

That is what I'm trying Ken. Thanks for the information Erik

Me again.

Doing it as sux:

erikja@lajka3:~> sux Password: lajka3:/home/erikja # k3b bash: k3b: command not found lajka3:/home/erikja #

If I shall start it up as root, I need to change the runlevel to 3. Now its 5. Thats no problem, but then I cannot run K3B due to that SuSE has stopped for running K3B under root. I don't know the reason, but I have got the info from a SuSE employe.

Erik

Hi, this is pretty much interesting, for if I become root, write "k3b" and press <Enter>, it launches as expected on my SuSE 9.2. Then I asked myself where it is located: "/opt/kde3/bin/k3b". I guess either your path isn't set up right. Try "sux -" instead of "sux" That sets up the correct environment. And you for sure don't need to change to runlevel 3. This would even prevent k3b to run since it needs the X server. Martin

If you change to runlevel 3, k3b cannot run, as it is a graphical app.

Thats no problem, but then I cannot run K3B due to that SuSE has stopped for running K3B under root. I don't know the reason, but I have got the info from a SuSE employe. I suspect you misunderstood. Try either kdesu k3b, or sux, then /opt/kde3/bin/k3b. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
