For some reason, however, in this thread I was getting posts from Rahul in my email; since the list was copied, I went ahead and replied in email. Now I see what looks like Rahul replying to Rahul, with my posts not on Gmane. I don't know how or why that happened. Rather than dig them all up (unless requested), I'll just describe result so far. I have gnome-format installed. It launches, and seems to try; but I then get an error message saying "Error opening /dev/sdc: Permission denied" -- even if the disk is one whose Properties tell me its permissions "could not be determined." I did [root@Hbsk2 dev]# chown -R btth:btth /dev/sdc [root@Hbsk2 dev]# and that seems to've gotten rid of the permission problem -- or maybe just hidden it ... Eventually, after various warnings, it does show both the stick and the file system to put on it, as well as a live "Format" button. Then nothing more happens. No matter how long I leave it (up to half a day), gnome-format shows no sign of doing anything; and the stuff on the stick is still there. <sigh> -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
