Good afternoon to all, my problem is that I can’t access to my files and my directories under my opensuse 11 with KDE4 nether with dauphin or kenqueror. This problem is happening since I upgrade my system… those anyone knows what is the problem? What can I do to solve it?
post contents of
/etc/fstab
How can I access to it’s contain… note that I can’t explore directories or files?
Use the command line (open up konsole) and type
cat /etc/fstab
and post what comes up
You should be able to access your home directory though, since I’m assuming that suse boots fine.
Hope it helps
Well, if your system couldn’t access the files at all, then it wouldn’t be starting up.
I am assuming that you are booting to a complete desktop. If not, you need to let us know exactly what you see and what happens between boot and where you end up.
If you can get to a working desktop, try to open a shell (Konsole). If it won’t launch, press Ctl-Alt-F6 all at the same time. This will take you to another pseudo-terminal where you can log in with your username and password. Once you do so, you can type
ls -l
and see if you get anything back.
If you can open the shell, then type
dolphin
to try to start Dolphin up. If it won’t launch, you will get some error messages that you can post here.

check your permissions for your home directory
ls -l /home
you should see something like
drwx------ 10 yourname users 2007-08-22 10:01 guest
(depending on your umask) if the first 4 characters aren’t drwx you don’t
have access to your home directory and you need to fix some permissions.
To see fstab to what should be mounted
cat /etc/fstab
To see what is mounted
mount

Well /home exists in fstab - does it show up with mount?
Not sure where you are in this - if you’re in KDE open up a konsole session
and try ls or other commands (like less or cat). If you can access your
files with these they’re there and the permissions must be Ok. If you can’t
get to your files from the CLI you’ve got a problem ™.
As others have said you can launch dolphin or konqueror from within konsole
and see if any error messages are produced.
Let’s face it, if you’re running kde you must have access to your home
directory
