Hi,
My computer has crashed last day. Now I can't open the
file in wich I was working. I can't also open
thunderbird. It told me that my profile is already
open. (in other distributions we need juste to make
empty a file namefile.lock, in fedora ???).
I can't also rename or delete the directory which
contain the concerned file.
I know that it's impossible to rescue the damaged file
but tell me please what must I do to rename the
directory which contain it and to be able to use
thunderbird.
Thank you very much.
PS: I'm using FC3
As root you should be able to run: rm -r <directory name>
to remove the directory.
If for some reason the permissions on the directory are too
restrictive for removal you can change the permissions using the chmod
command and then do the : rm -r
Even as root it doesn't accept to remove it. This is to to the crash. I
think that the system has marked it as occupied (opened). I have
resolved this problem by using Windows. Excuse me ... (am an old newbee
of Linux)
