Hi, I'm using opensuse10.0 with my laptop. During one of last upades (I do it offline) the powersave package refuses to install (using yast) because beeing enable to create some directory. as root I'm not able to see the existence of that directory when i perform a ls -l or with a file manager. Nevertheles if i perform a ls plus some initials of the directory plus TAB key the directory shows up in the options. if I try to enter, to see or to delete the directory I'm given de message permition denied. The same happens with chmod command. The file system is reiser and returns no error at startup when the fsck is performed. I'm lost and I do not know what to do! There is another option but format the file system??? best regards, -- António Rodrigues Tomé artome@ubi.pt <---official e-mail address artome@gmail.com <---alternative security e-mail address http://www.dfisica.ubi.pt/~artome http://www.cgul.ul.pt/curric/cgul_tome.htm
