arctic Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Please open a terminal (or run a terminal session), run the following commands as root and post output of them here: ls -l /var/log/Xorg.0.log lsattr /var/log/Xorg.0.log mount Run "mount" without any arguments, just "mount" This should tell us if there is a permissions or attribute problem with the file, or if you have mounted the filesystem of your root (or /var) partition in "read-only" mode. Edit: Also, which user permissions are set for the /usr folder? (ls -l /usr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
