Hi, Here's the output gene...@generic-laptop:~$ ls -laR .gvfs .gvfs: total 4 dr-x------ 2 generic generic 0 2009-11-14 21:45 . drwxr-xr-x 29 generic generic 4096 2009-11-14 21:45 .. gene...@generic-laptop:~$
Don't worry about the snarky comment. It can be hard to read emotion over an email. Thanks for the info on additional books, etc. Questions: I would like to track my messages, bugs etc on launchpad. However I cannot find a way to do so. I must be missing something. For instance, I cannot this thread on launchpad. The only way I can respond is either by email or what was once a link. I installed a PGP so I could directly write to launchpad. But this has limited utility.
