Agreed. > Check the permissions on the mount point done, I still own it. > and the fstab its not in fstab, never was. I touched a file in home/gene/Downloads/3dp.stf named sdb1 to create a mount I didn't have to search thru /media to access. Up until this 5 second power failure, I could, as me, mount that SD card there, and use mc, as me, to overwrite a file on that card, then sync; eject sdb1. Led on card adapter goes out, pull the card, take it back to the printer and select and print the updated file. Now I have to be root to do any of it except the printer. The card is vfat, which has no concept of file ownership. > and also your > group membership. gene@dddprint:~/AppImages$ cat /etc/group|grep gene dialout:x:20:gene cdrom:x:24:gene sudo:x:27:gene audio:x:29:pulse,gene video:x:44:gene gene:x:1000: Nothing changed there in months. > The SD card might also need a fsck. by whose fsck? > > 2. and another pesky thing is starting a konsole to do work, needs a > > $PATH modification that we used to put in ~.profile.

XFCe login, I think. I only see it once on that machine. logging in remotely with "ssh -Y machine-name" or 'user1000'@machine-name is how I generally run things from a comfy chair. > AFAIK you should open the terminal with "bash --login" to read the > profile. So try in the terminal "bash --login" Done, but no change in the $PATH.
