Re: today's immature bothersome question

Some command-line may work the magic you want. [Change ~ to your username!]   chmod -R 700 /home/~/.trinity | chown -R ~/home/~/.trinity | chgrp -R ~ /home/~/.trinity and/or chmod -R 700 /home/~/.trinity/* | chown -R ~/home/~/.trinity/* | chgrp -R ~ /home/~/.trinity/* (This give rwx permissions to user only, dep or whatever you call your username.) If this doesn't work, try: chmod -R 770 /home/~/.trinity | chown -R ~/home/~/.trinity | chgrp -R ~ /home/~/.trinity and/or chmod -R 770 /home/~/.trinity/* | chown -R ~/home/~/.trinity/* | chgrp -R ~ /home/~/.trinity/* (This will give rwx permissions to user and group, both the same as your username; some processes may operate under your group name, not as user.) NOTE WELL that I am using ~ to represent your top-secret username (which it is better that you don't publish online, of course); the /* in this case represents everything inside that folder, so I need the asterisk for that. (I don't give out my own username to anybody, although I feel sure that all the 3-letter government agencies have got it by now.) If this doesn't solve your problems, then you might have some deeper issues. In the past, when I had similar experiences, I used to just reinstall my system; but nowadays I try to avoid doing that when possible. Bill
