I take everything I've said back. I am now able to create folderswith "/home/john/everywhere".
I never put two and two together, read on. Previous to this problem I had an unstable session which I rebooted and upon reboot "fsck" kicked in to check the "not properly shutdown" volume /dev/sda5 (/home) (weird, as I shut it down proper but maybe there we're sector errors regardless). It couldn't complete it properly so asked me to do manual fsck, which I did, answering yes to everything it retrieved. Straight after the check I booted the rest of the way into Ubuntu and most likely due to the fsck been done on /home a few things we're restricted such as directory creation etc. Did a reboot after I assume and everything is fine again. I never actually thought that the messy /home would have had anything to do with this as it allowed me to boot straight into Ubuntu (causing me to think everything was now fine). It's a little odd that I was able to create and copy files into home directories but not folders, but anyway. I'll watch this for another day and then close this bug if I can because it's essentially useless - a user error. -- Unable to create folders within User folders using any method - Karmic 9.10 alpha 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
