Using touch on a non-existent filename creates a file of zero length, which I would assume for a lot of file system types would just take up one inode that might still be available even if the file system is 100% free? And don't some file systems use inode space for very short files? -- Tixy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

File systems like ext4 with default formatting options tend to have 5% (or something like that) disk space reserved for root, so perhaps there is only that reserved space left remaining and "scan home" (whatever that is) is being clever and taking that into account? -- Tixy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

And what can I do ? You need to tell your KDE session to look into the directories where you compiled kate too. I install compiled stuff to /usr/local and use a quite minimal approach that with KDE Runtime 4.11 and back then KDE Applications 4.12 base install, now 4.13 works for me to testing master branch of KDEPIM and Akonadi related stuff. martin@merkaba:~/.kde/env> cat kdedirs.sh #!/bin/bash if [ -z $KDEDIRS ]; then export KDEDIRS="/usr/local/" else export KDEDIRS="/usr/local/:$KDEDIRS" fi if [ -z $QT_PLUGIN_PATH ]; then export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/local/lib/kde4" else export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/local/lib/kde4:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH" fi There are guides for setting up a KDE development environment on techbase.kde.org.

Wouldn't they normally be quantitative parameters?

Makes you wonder how many people who install Debian and have trouble, write to the list but are not subscribed, and therefore do not rec a reply.

rsync of mtp://[usb:001,012]/ ?
I have a mobile phone and a kindle fire, both of which can be manually mounted, but they are given names like "mtp://[usb:002,042]/" currently the kindle fire. And "mtp://[usb:001,012]/" which is the mobile phone. How can I do a rsync backup of them both, or any backup at all really, just in case the martians invade, again! :) Thanks Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk my git repo = https://bitbucket.org/boudiccas/dots TGmeds = http://www.tgmeds.org.uk Debian testing, fluxbox 1.3.5, emacs 24.3.91.1 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Presumably your devices are mounted either somewhere inside your $HOME, or inside /run/media/$USER. And if you get a mountpoint - it's a simple matter of running 'rsync -Hax $MOUNTPOINT $YOUR_BACKUP'.
