So I flashed my phone to UbiBoot, and everything went fine until I restored my backups using Nokia Suite. Since that point it seems that the phone can't correctly accesss to some of the folders located in MyDocs. (or the whole MyDocs might be corrupted)

For example, when I try to save an image from the web, it does not appear in /home/user/MyDocs/Pictures, and it gets saved in /home/user instead. Same applies to Tweetian. But I'm a 100% sure that this is some generel problem with folder permissions.

Is there any possible way to solve this?

Chechked the file using nano, and I found it was corrupted. Now i'm trying to apply the fix by hand and see if it works. Thanks in advance!

Meh, here is what happens:

- If I restore the original pathes, the apps gives error. (Please delete some files to free up space)

- Upon reboot the config file gets reset.

How full is your MyDocs, then, could that have something to do with it?

I would guess your home is also full. Some heavy download to /home/user filled it up completely?
Check file system usage with
df
in terminal.

MyDocs is fully empty (4,9 GB free space, as I have Nemo installed), I have deleted everything on it (even UbiBoot scripts lol, but thats another story, and it was easy to "fix" it).

I'm about to be sure that the problem is not caused by the UbiBoot itself, or the partitioning, because everything was fine until I had to restore my backup, that I made before re-installing UbiBoot. (The backup also was made in a state where UbiBoot and Nemo were installed, if that counts)

df gives the following for some folders:

/dev/mmcblk0p3:
1k blocks: 2064208
used: 988992
available: 97360
use %: 50%
mounted as: /home

/dev/mmcblk0p1:
1k blocks: 5131776
used: 23232
available: 5108544
use %: 0%
mounted as: /home/user/MyDocs

I don't know if this is important, but whenever I make a folder using windows, it gets read-only by default, and I can't change it, as it keeps restoring itself.

Could you elaborate?

Creating folder on MyDocs (using windows) works? But it gets read-only?
Sounds like virus on Windoze machine

It has nothing to do with Windows or it's viruses.
Already told you, that the phone went just fine until I had to restore my old backups. Also, other mass-storages work just fine, and the whole os works just fine.

Re-creating the folders using the phone doesn't work also (terminal mkdir, filecase).The folders get created, but the phone can't save stuff in them. Actually, if I set the config to save stuff in MyDocs, it works, but if I set it to use MyDocs/Pictures, it does not.

Windows can't change permissions because the phone set them on something else, and Windows can't access it the right way.

It is not a virus. The backup just messed up something pretty bad, yet noone can tell me what.

Dunno about the N9, but on the N900 a corrupt filesystem is frequently demonstrated by the OS mounting it as read-only. Perhaps worth checking?

EDIT: I do realize the contradiction between R/O and being able to create a folder. That might have something to do with permissions or some such. I would still check the FS for corruption.
