For example: > >foo={absolute path to ~/Desktop on Jaunty folder} >ls -la $foo/App* No, the ls command doesn't see the files with the X on them in Nautilus either. Neither does mv. As far as I can tell they are completely invisible to any terminal command. However, in the process of installing Fedora 11 I installed the Xfce4 desktop as well as the Gnome desktop that I normally use. Because of issues with Gnome (abundantly documented here) I wanted something else that I could log into in case Gnome blew up on me again. Xfce installed Thunar file manager. And root was able to launch Thunar. And Thunar as root was happy to drag and drop the obstreperous files. I'd still like to know WTH is going on with the terminal window. The files really are there. I am not making this up. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
