[SOLVED] "maximise" KDE 4 Desktop folder

[Tex-Twil]

I tried that on my test machine, rebooted, logout, nothing would recreate this situation.. I just can not get this to duplicate with any thing I try to tell you what to change.

Thanks for trying

Post an ls -al of the live dvd for that...if you can....
The last and only thing I can see is that your perms in the first screen snap shows user users and mine shows rec9140 rec9140 and this is a perms
On the installed versions do a chown username:username on the hello.txt file and then try to move it...
Other than that which I doubt seriously will fix it.. I have not got a clue as like I said I just not duplicate it..

I will try but I doubt it has something to do with the permissions since it's happening also on the live dvd. I will also check for the DVD integrity.

What version of KDE are you using? I can't duplicate that on KDE 4.6. I can drag icons around the desktop with no problems.

KDE 4.6.0

I downloaded Mint 10 last week and made a fresh install.

KDE 4.6.0 I downloaded Mint 10 last week and made a fresh install.

Any reason you have not done the updates to 4.6.1? ?

If not please do those, and try again.

I finally found a way to duplicate this.... If I run the Live DVD with 4.6.0 and set the mouse to NON *nix mode, then it only allows me to do exactly what you describe.

On my test machines all 4 of them with 4.6.1 in EITHER mode will do what you request drag files on desktop in NON *nix mouse mode.

Yes: I don't know how

Just use the mintUpdate tool that runs, in the lower right will be a shield with an i or green check mark.

Update!

mintUpdate.png (5.83 KiB) Viewed 414 times

Open then that up, enter root password, get the list of updates... then sort it by size, then UNCHECK libmarblewidget10 which will be 0 bytes and cause a failure.

There will be about ~270+ updates to do....

FIXED !

Installing KDE 4.6.1 solved the issue.

Thanks for your help
