todays updates on /dev/stable

[steve7233]

from the 17+ versions of dolphin you can no longer open it as root !

Krusader will.

IF you trying to change permissions to change the mounting as read only ,,,,that wont work .

it's the way something is mounted that determines ro or rw ,,,,read only or read write is it being mounted with a line in /etc/fstab (added by you) or by clicking it in dolphin ?

if it's on a BTRFS file system did you accidentally make the subvolume read only ?

VINNY

I made it using Kpartion manager. Just told it to make a BTRFS using the entire drive.

I changed the text color of the relevate code to green to make it stand out.

I noticed that too. Thus the screen shot.
It works now. I saved a bunch of games to it via Steam for Linux. Tomorrow I will get the hyperviser going and give KDENEON another try. I also have to virtulize Windows as I can't get wine to run the Quicken Deluxe 20017 installer.
