Ubuntu

Error Message

Asked by Riverrun

Whenever I try to save an image from the web, I get the following error message: The folder contents could not be displayed, error accessing 'file:///home/user/Pictures ...followed by the name of the file I'm trying to d/load with the message, File not found, tacked on at the end.
I am probably missing some dependency.
There is probably a way of getting Terminal to analyse it.

What command would I use to identify the problem?

Could you please describe the steps taken to reproduce this. Please also include application(s), website(s) and picture(s).

And one thing you clould check before you continue, please check if the directory Pictures exist in your home directory.

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

cd
ls -l

ls -l is lower of "LS -L"

Copy and paste the result here

Thank you

There is something wrong with the owner and groups of your files:

Here my result:
drwxr-xr-x 2 danilo danilo 4096 Jan 20 02:32 Pictures

What is your username...?

Pictures is still there.

Guys, I've wasted your time, it looks like. That error message seems to relate to one particular image on one site. Everything seems normal now.

Marcoba, I edited out my user name because it's my real name.

Mine comes out like: drwxr-xr-x 9 user user 4096 2008-03-24 01:29 Pictures

It's the same as yours.
