Just hoping someone cares here's another data point. The -w (preview) option comes up with a different CRITICAL. Both requests seem to operate OK. It's just the error message that messes up the display in Terminal. evince ItWorks.pdf > /dev/null (evince:7175): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: a

I have found a problem several times running updates which are coming more and more often. That's probably good for security but the automated attempt to update adds a bunch of files to a root level directory, like this: lenovo[~]> cd /boot lenovo[/boot]> ls -l total 92010 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root

The problem has gone away after the ubuntu version I'm now running was installed. I think it's now 12-04 but I can't seem to get the machine to say that. uname -a shows this: Linux doug-GG045AA-ABA-a6142n 3.2.0-25-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23 20:30:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I no longer have the problem but. . . It's definitely related to access control lists. There seems to be no way to turn off access control. setfacl -b fileref # doesn't work as advertised. I believe that to be well known. A solution is to remove whole directories of files and re-create them. Un

I have a fix. I no longer think it's a problem with gedit or gnome. Some time ago I experimented with SELinux and soon decided I didn't want to use it. The two users around here are both trustworthy and I didn't see an advantage when port 23 for ssh is the only real exposure to the internet. We t
