Last night I installed the excellent Xnview graphics viewing & editing program, version 1.70, for my Kubuntu 8.10 install.
The problem is, it can't see any folders beyond the /root folder. I can't find any way to go farther back up the directory structure so that, for instance, I could access pictures on my Windows NTFS partitions, or over the local network.
I don't recall having this problem when I put Xnview on another machine running Kubuntu 8.04.1. So, I'm thinking that rather than being an application-specific problem, I must have installed it wrong or something.
FWIW, here's what happened when I ran the installer shell script in Konsole:
(I installed it from a /bin folder I created in my /home directory, at the suggestion of another poster here. Perhaps the problem is that this folder is not in my "path" yet? But I thought "sudo" was supposed to overcome that sort of problem.)
