The permissions of the local /tmp dir are rwx But I am a bit confused: In my file manager dolphin the /tmp of my /Home shows 0 files, but if I do a wolfgang@wolfgang:~$ ls -l /tmp I get a list of directories and files, among them the lyx_tmpdir. directory. I wonder whether it has to do with the fact that I have a harddisk in my PC which contains the debian system and a harddisk which contains my data and backups If I open a terminal for this harddisk: wolfgang@wolfgang:/home$ and a ls -l shows among others drwx rwx rwx for wolfgang wolfgang may be lyx is as confused as I am to find the correct /tmp on this second harddisk? I noticed also that I can't complete a name with the <-- --> key e.g. cd w (I press the right/left arrow key tio get wolfgang) gives me cd wbash: cannot create temp file for here-document: no permission I am not sure whether this has to do with the issue above. I am sorry to bother you with this off topic issue, but it hinders me to use Lyx at the moment. Any suggestions/proposals are very welcome and appreciated Wolfgang
