I'm sorry I thik I post before on the wrong place.
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm running Kanotix 2006 Easter (Kernel 2.6.17) on a Toshiba M70 Laptop. Everything works perfectly and I'm very happy to get out of Windows. My problem is that I tried to install Flash Player 7 for my Opera Browser but no succes. A file called Install_flash_player_7 was created in my desktop wich I cannot delete now. Each time I trye to move to trash I get the following messege:
Access denied
to /home/marcos/.local/share/Trash/files/install_flash_player_7
How can I get this file out?
Can someone help me? I'm a newbie in Linux so if I have to do changes by typing please be very clear.
Thanks a lot! |

you can rightclick on the file and do delete. that should do the trick. if not, you have to delete it in a konsole. become root there and then do: cd Desktop and hit return. now you are on the desktop by konsole. you can verify this by: ls -a, which should show all desktop files. now do: rm -rf Ins, and then hit the tab-key. that should complete the name to: Install_flash_player_7, so it now reads:
rm -rf Install_flash_player_7. now hit return and the file is gone.
this little tab-key magic is very helpfull in konsole, because it prevents you from wrong spelling and helps completing long filenames. the 'cd' command at the beginning means change directory.
and last not least a big WARNING: be very carefull with the 'rm -rf' command, it can delete you whole system without chance of recovery, if issued from in the wrong directory. so, before issuing this command it is always a good idea to check the dir you are in with 'pwd', which will show again the dir you are currently in. in this here case, if you follow my lines, you cant go wrong.
