Because they are hard wired to prohibit copy operations (given where they appear in the boot sequence copy might not work anyway) I would have to write them out from reading the screen. I can do that if you need it. Basically they say; the update did not work, contact the nearest administrator, and where to find the above mentioned error file. The errors were all in updating *.desktop files--since I don't use those desktop files I don't care. What I do care about is having to click on three different itty bitty buttons that appear in three different locations on the screen, one after another, with my shaky 71 year old hands... If it keeps up much longer I am going to turn into a grumpy old man... <grin> If I just knew where the script was, I could fix the popup dialog problem. It is possible that just creating empty *.desktop files could solve the update problem, but the script does not tell where it expects to find the files--so I don't know where to put them. My first post has lots of details about the *.desktop files that failed. I attached the daily error message file, mentioned above.
