You would do those commands from xterm.. not from Chroot - although it wouldn't really matter as long as you were the user "user" and not root in the debian chroot (because he mounts the home drive over /home). But yeah.. simple: use xterm.

Make those directories by hand.

When I said "for the copy" it was a bit out of place.. sorry.. I had submitted my original and then saw your post about how to copy the backups over.. so INSTEAD of manually recreating the directories in the first half.. if you know the FULL PATH to the backup directory in /media/mmc1 .. you would run that copy command from xterm, as user. If you don't know the full path.. try:

If that outputs a path for you then copy/paste that path into the cp -pr command.

Good news. As soon as I followed your 'mkdir' instructions I got back my original folders. Do I now delete the duplicate ones I made.They don't have the icons the original ones have. Guys thanks for all your help.

Im confused? What duplicates? Running the mkdir commands should only create one folder.. and File Manager should use it as it's own folder.. you shouldn't have duplicates unless the name isn't quite right.

Also now that you have them bakc and showing in the File Manager.. you could probably go copy your backup files over to their right directories in file manager.

Now should I try this again??
I really want to get QTSTalker running.

lol I like your spirit dan.

You may want to check if it even exists.. you did just clean out your entire home directory lol.

If it exists see if it says root root or user user next to it.

If it exists and is root.. delete it.. if it exists and is user.. its fine.. if it doesn't exists.. it's fine.

I copied all the backup file into my file manager user folders thanks for all your help. I really don't want to start the Deblet with KDE v4 until I find a way to make a mirror backup of mmc2 including Diablo, dual boot, maemo, kde. I want to help you guys test out Debian apps and such.

Whew, that was quite the exciting saga! Just make sure NOT to run qtstalker WITHOUT the hilda in front...

I loaded KDE4 again last night for giggles (and because I ported more debs)..

It really does run like crap :lol:.

KDE4 should be in the non-existent thread entitled "Debian apps that run like trash on the Tablets". I went through the settings.. i couldn't find a single thing to turn off to make it speedier. I mean.. it's "usable"; in a rather loose and patient use of the word; definitely not recommended when there are speedier alternatives.

Is this good or bad??

BusyBox v1.6.1 (2008-05-22 10:32:35 EEST) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/home/user # ls -la /home/user | grep qtstalker
drwxr-xr-x 3 user users 4096 Aug 19 15:01 .qtstalker
/home/user #

looks fine to me.

Should produce a bunch of files that have the same beginning.. the important part being the "user users" section in the middle.
