Re: [e-users] Cannot rename directories.
Thanks Mick, I did suspect the problem may have to do with running the OS from a LiveCD.

Or maybe something else. You wouldn't be able to make changes on the LiveCD filesystem, because it is a read only iso, but you should be able to make changes on any mounted filesystems on the PC that you are running the iso - as long as you are trying to make such changes as the same user you mounted the fs with. e.g. running as root: # mkdir /mnt/sda3 # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 # mkdir /mnt/sda3/my_dir_1 # mv /mnt/sda3/my_dir_1 /mnt/sda3/my_dir_2 If you then tried to make changes as a different user, e.g. knoppix, you will find that knoppix does not have the appropriate access rights to modify the mounted filesystem. Also, many LiveCDs automount filesystems as read only, so you could try remounting the filesystem as rw. In any case, on an installed OS you will be able to automount the filesystem with rw access rights as a plain user and make changes to it, as long as you have installed udisks.

Re: [e-users] Cannot rename directories.
Sorry if I caused some confusion. I did experience the problem with Bodhi - have not tried any other distors yet that use Enlightenment - but assumed that I ought to ask this question on the Enlightenement list as that was the component I interacted with; at least I tough so. Thanks again for any and all help. On Sunday, 22 June 2014, 19:37, Mick michaelkintz...@gmail.com wrote: On Sunday 22 Jun 2014 18:36:21 Wido wrote: Mick, he mentioned he is using Bhodi.
