      From: philo@privacy.net              Now that I'm up and running again, I temporarily put my 1TB backup ssd       into my machine in order to back up one last folder. The drive was       pretty full so I first decided to delete a few hundred gigs of stuff I       don't need. I'm using the "Caja" file manager and it will not allow me       to delete anything unless I open the manager as root.              Perhaps there is a bit too much safety here?              Anyway, when I deleted the data, I assumed it was a full delete as none       of it ended up in my trash bin.       Wrong assumption.              It went into the root trash bin which is not accessible fro Caja .              I had to open a root terminal to delete the trash              Good thing I'm an old timer and could easily do so from Midnight Commander              I'd hate to see a newbie try a task like this that really should be a       trivial matter.                     Anyway...I always try to find some good news in a "bad" experience.              When I opened my machine to add the ssd, I had a look at a now-working       PCIe USB-3 port.              LOL...I forgot to hook up the power cable.              Since I've managed to get along fine for three years without having even       tried the port, I removed it from my machine>                     Sheesh, what fun              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
