Hi, welcome in to Ubuntu forums :)

Hopefully you have checked the obvious things like that there's enough room in the folder. Sometimes people use some old drives or place their /home folder on a separate partition or have simply put sooo much stuff on their machine that its full now, yes i am guilty on 2 of those counts (just not the techie one yet, but i'm trying)

If it's not something obvious then good luck

In any case welcome in and have fun :)
Regards from
Tom

If you are still having trouble with this then please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/reposting a question just before america arrives online gives the best chance of getting a good few answers.

If the problem has been resolved then please follow the link to the forum thread and mark it as Solved.

Good luck and many regards from
Tom :)
