On the desktop there is a home.desktop file which I can't get rid off. Moving it to the trash is not working, starting pcmanfm as root doesn't help, I can't change permissions and even 'sudo rm -f home.desktop' is not permitted. I am working on a harddrive installed instance of navigatrix- any clues?

Cheers, Christian

Its the "i" attribut which is set. You can remove it with
sudo chattr -i /home/$USER/Desktop/home.desktop

Ah, hanks a lot, Ilearn something new evry day. Didn't know about that one. What was he reason to use the "i" attribute? Just write protection, or something else?

Just to make sure it does not get deleted by accident.

I learn something new every day as well. i is for immutable, a is for appendable.
Code:
sudo chattr -R +a ~/Desktop/
For example, makes the directory Desktop, and everything in it recursively, appendable, but data/files cannot be removed.

The same applies to individual files. Data can be added, but not removed until the attribute flag is flipped back.
