So today I am downloading some distros for my USB disk that I take to the Clinic. Suddenly Transmission announces that I am out of file space. Sure enough, the GUI says there is no free space out of the 140 GB formatted. Now, I know I have a lot of stuff on this computer, but just the other day I know I had around 30 GB free.
Further poking around revealed 35 GB in "Trash." I deleted them and that gave me 35 GB free. More poking around revealed a link (arrow on the icon) to /media/cdrom. Inside was another 12.1 GB of files - what appeared to be tar.gz backup files from 2007. I deleted them, and then Nautilus announced that I had 47 GB free space. Don't ask why backup files were in there, because I have no clue. I have never [deliberately] created backups to the same partition as I am backing up, nor have I ever used optical media as a backup destination. Just now I wanted to look at some items in ~/Phonology/. The folder is still there, but all my bookmarks are gone - about 20 of them. They were all there this morning. Evidently deleting stuff from Trash deletes your bookmarks. OK, I'll just recreate the bookmarks. It's just a click - click - click process. Except that you can't do it easily. I selected a file in ~/Phonology/ and told Nautilus to create a bookmark to it. Nautilus created a bookmark to ~/. The only way to get a bookmark to the ~/Phonology/ folder is to create one to ~/ and then edit it manually. I have had problems with Nautilus in the distant past, but this crap is new. I wonder if the dist-upgrade to Jaunty is responsible. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
