Hah, I think your hand landed on the keyboard funny there. > You see, last evening we were trying to run some recovery software > named "photorec" which doesn't seem so friendly with Speakup. If photorec is supposed to scrounge a dying hard-drive for images, you might want to try the command-line tool "recoverjpeg" with which I've rescued a friend's drive containing some pictures of her son she hadn't backed up. And as a CLI tool, it should be very speakup-friendly. > 4 -rw------- 1 chime chime 18 May 25 20:53 /home/chime/.mailcap Okay, that looks proper > Your df -h also involves mounting of directories from a 2nd machine There was a trailing tilde in the command ("df -h ~") to limit the output to just the drive on which your /home partition was mounted, but I could pick out the correct entry from your output > /dev/sdb6 1.8T 2.6G 1.7T 1% /home But your /home partition is only 1% full, so you are indeed correct that you have *plenty* of space. You didn't provide the output of the `mount` command which might confirm how the drive is mounted. If you can save other files in your home directory, it *should* be fine. But you can test $ mount /dev/sdb6 to see if it's mounted "rw" or "ro". Looking at your output, it also looks like you're using NFS or SMB mounts of shared directories from your 192.168.0.2 machine. If for some reason you tried writing/modifying the .mailcap file or permissions in one of these directories and it was mounted read-only, you might get similar errors. I know I've occasionally forgotten which directory I was in, only to end up writing or modifying a file in a place I'd not planned to because it looked similar. So just confirming that you still get the "out of space" error if you try $ chmod 600 ~/.mailcap right? (adding an explicit path to ensure you're modifying the .mailcap in your $HOME directory) -tim _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
